“M*A*S*H” (Satire, Comedy, Drama) 1970, 1hr 56min

In November 1951, the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) is shaken up by the arrival of Capt. “Hawkeye” Pierce, played by Donald Sutherland, and Capt. “Duke” Forest, played by Tom Skerritt, crack surgeons but lousy soldiers.  Joined by renowned chest-cutter “Trapper John McIntyre, played by Elliott Gould, the surgeons set about dealing with the daily carnage of the war by raising hell.  From getting rid of the idiotic Major Burns, played by Robert Duval, to helping the camp dentist commit “suicide”, the “Swamp guys” will stop at nothing to distract themselves from the horrors of that war.
