Tora! Tora! Tora! (Japanese: トラ・トラ・トラ) is a 1970 American-Japanese war film that dramatises the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The film was directed by Richard Fleischer and stars an ensemble cast, including Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, Sō Yamamura, E.G. Marshall, James Whitmore and Jason Robards. The film uses Isoroku Yamamoto's famous quote, saying the attacks would only serve to "... awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve", although it may have been apocryphal. The title is the Japanese code-word used to indicate that complete surprise was achieved. It literally means "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger".

I've always thought that the way to tell whether a movie is really good one or not is by how many scenes you can remember and I can remember a lot of scenes in From Here to Eternity. The kiss while the surf is rolling in was just one. The most famous to be sure.
