Good War Movies
I looked around and seen we dint have one of these. My wife is gone till next Thursday which gives me plenty of nag-free time to watch my War/Classic Action movies. I have some of the classics and some new ones:
Patton
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
We where Soldiers
Band of Brothers
BHD
Forest Gump (best movie ever)
Basic
Rambo 1 2 3 (you know you like them)
and a few others. Any body else got a good movie of this type that might be good to watch. Could make some great movie selections and discussion.that sounds like a good idea trooper.

Re: Good War Movies
Full Metal Jacket is a classic. The Alamo Drafthouse theater is playing Kubrick's films in full re-mastered goodness this summer. I really hope that one makes the cut.

Re: Good War Movies
The original of "Three Kings" was good IMO.
My all time fav is Band of Brothers, but I think it would have been better if set as a story about a British troop.Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter.

Re: Good War Movies
Black Hawk Down is by far one of my favourite films of all time.
Cross of Iron.
The Longest Day.

Re: Good War Movies
Man there are some great flicks here! Enemy at the Gates was an awesome movie, I can't believe I forgot about it.
(gets the notepad out) Time to go bargin-bin diving (although, Enemy at the Gates isn't old and I don't think it's bargin bin material yet)
Da Boot was a good one..
The Great Escape aswell
So many oldies out there!|TG|Clodhopper - Intelligence is the key, but I'm locked out!

Re: Good War Movies
Well this might not fall exactly in this catagory but a good Submarine movie is "Das Boat" and you can't forget "Midway" and "Tora Tora Tora"
