#3 "The Wild Geese" is an underrated gem.

Same era and same flavor as "The Man Who Would Be King": a ripping, grand adventure of the post-Vietnam "f-you Hollywood anti-military dipshits" variety

#6 Hardy Krüger as Kurt Muller in Hatari. A fun, 1962 John Wayne movie about capturing big game animals for zoos.

#7 The Wild Geese is a great film on so many levels. Krueger plays Lt Coetzee perfectly. He's understated which draws the audience in to explore his perspective - a daring thing given the times of that day.
