Call of Duty WW2                         Call of Duty :  WWII  pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody.

But how many of those titles are classics? In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best. Born in 1916, Douglas kicked off his acting career after serving in the Navy during WWII. He made his film debut with a small role in “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” (1946). His first Oscar nomination as Best Actor came just three years later for  Mark Robson ‘s boxing drama “Champion” (1949).
