Movies starring Jim Brown

The Dirty Dozen (1967)

149 mins     Action , Comedy, Drama, War      

Growing up there were those movies which would be shown again and again on TV such as "The Great Escape" and "The Magnificent Seven". One of those movies was the first "The Dirty Dozen" which I watched so often that at one ti...

Ice Station Zebra (1968)

148 mins     Action , Drama, Thriller      

"Ice Station Zebra" is another prime example that even if you have the seemingly perfect cast and crew it doesn't mean that you will have a perfect movie. Here you have director John Sturges who gave us "The Great Escape" wor...
