Not exactly buried treasure, but worth a look
A while back I was channel surfing late at night/early in the morning and landed on AMC showing something I'd never heard of called SNIPER'S RIDGE (1961). It's a very low-budget Fox B movie, a sub-WAR HUNT Korean War chatfest with C-list TV actors like Jack Ging and Douglas Henderson.
But there's something about the film that lifts it out of the ordinary. It has an attitude and atmosphere that are remarkably ahead its time (one of the plots deals with Ging planning to kill his commanding officer, a harbinger of Nam "fragging") and presage the anti-military films of the 70s.
