For a friend...

It's a film about a sort of country boy who ends up drafted in WWII.  He's probably against the Germans here.  He used to hunt squirrels and what not, so he's a crackshot.  He doesn't want to kill people, so he ends up wounding like 20 Germans and bringing them in as POWs.  Of course, that makes him a war hero, which he doesn't want - he just wants to go home to his sweetheart and live on a farm.

That's about all I've got.  It's probably older...  50s or 60s?

That would be Sergeant York with ...Gary Cooper, I believe.  Great Movie...and the crack shot is parodied in Land of the Dead.  He always licks his thumb and then wets his sight.

Sgt. York killed about 20 Germans and then he and the 8 survivors of his platoon captured 132. He was the greatest American hero of World War I.  He joined but was registered as a conscientious objector.  His feelings about killing were well known to his commanders and he didn't want to shoot until he saw his comrades being machine gunned down.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
