Reply With QuoteI enjoy a good war flick. But as soon as someone starts singing or smoking out on a patrol, they become unrealistic and lame.Originally Posted by irish_2003
Still I enjoy the old ones, too. Hell's Angels to The dirty dozen to Pvt. Ryan.

so i passed on Silver Strand for now and am in the middle of Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil.....although i can't relate to the intense combat scenes, much of the flashbacks to some of their training is familiar to me throughout my time enlisted....it's fun remembering the fun and joy lol

Full Metal Jacket is my favorite war movoie. Some others I like are:
Apocalypse Now
Deer Hunter"A child does not learn to squat from the top down -- in other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and makes the conscious decision to stand." - Gray Cook

Platoon and Full Metal Jacket are the kind of movies you can watch almost daily. A Bridge To Far was great and so was The Big Red One

It's based during WW2. It's a bad-ass movie. Just watched it for the first time in years since the wife has never seen it. Originally Posted by irish_2003

In the American Hollywood produced Vietnam war movies, Ngo Dinh Diem's name is not mentioned once. Not mentioned once, in all of the most popular Vietnam war movies.
The focus is on the individuals. With a protaganist and antagonist.Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
