yeah i put 6 movies in there, so what? big whoop, wanna fightaboutit?
In my defense, i’ve never seen apocalypse now, thin red line, probably a few others that should be on the list, but that’s how i see it at 6:15 a.m. before i go to bed. there are just so many good war movies. i need to sleep.
-The War (PBS documentary), 15hrs long, it was justed released this year, almost all new footage some in color. I haven’t got to watch it all, apparently it is suppose have “the angle” that no other documentary had and not just a “re-edit”.
-Red Dawn (does it have to be a real war?)
-Born on the 4th of July
-Full Metal
-G.I. Jane (best for last, suck my dick)

Enemy at the Gates?
Basic?
Jarhead?
Ugh.

We Were Soldiers
Platoon

No, because it was a mini-series not a movie.
It was good though :tup:
“The War” is also not a movie, it’s a documentary (one of the better ones), and also worth watching :tup:
enemy at the gates was a good movie… just because it was based on snipers doesn’t make it horrid
