A Thin Red Line?????WTF?...I'm a war movie buff and that was a POS! (IMO) Sorry! :confused:

Nothing personal..:)Did you really like that screwy movie? "Jarhead" was another incredibly stupid mess. I was embarrassed when I took my 12 year old son to see it. Typical contemporary liberal POS! Should have been rated X.


For good war movies....IMHO :D

Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
Patton
Battle of Britain
Tora Tora Tora
Bridge Too Far
"Special effects" in Flags of our Fathers was great.
Longest Day
Black Hawk Down


Honorable Mention..

Guess I need to see "Scare Face"

Motion said ONE Favorite movie not a catalog of what you think are good war movies...Ohhh BTW your taste in war movies leaves something to be desired as alot of them su{k.

American Beauty

For me it was life altering.

You make a list of war movies and leave out Bridge Over the River Kwai?

Anyway, I actually had to think pretty hard about this one. There's only one movie I'll pop in the DVD player without hesitation and re-watch straight through.

Here's a hint:

Goodfellas

Cindy instantly replied to the question..."Casablanca"...

Me? "The Hustler"...but the pool playing is all clogged up with a love story.

The fastest Indian...GREAT flick!..still, "the Hustler" for me...

How so? I didn't think it was very good, so I'm just curious...:cool:

The one movie I fall back on on my Saturday night movie is....Hunt for Red October.

I just love that damn movie. There are a lot of movies that are a lot better, but it's my favorite, that's for sure. And I can watch it over and over and over.

I think it may be more of a function of where you were in your life when you first watched the movie than how good it is. Look at the list of favorites; almost no contemporary movies. In 20 years, the guys on the board will list, "Golden Compass" and "Harry Potter and the..".

Funny how most of the guys on this board gravitate to war movies.

We were soldiers, my #2 Das Boot #3

Tabs,

It seems I'm not the only one who listed more than one movie...Your attitude tells me you must have liked a THIN RED LINE... forget about the history of the battle for Guadalcanal...Thats right you were the one who thought the Siegfried Line was on the Eastern Front. So are you cranky tonight?
Merry Christmas!

The latest incarnation of The Thin Red Line was pretentious BS, but hey who am I to criticize what other people like. It is their prerogative to watch wherever cr@p that turns them on.

If you like war movies, definitely consider Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V".

Once more into the breech dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our British dead!

I'm between Brazil and Memento.

Brazil because spells out the end-game when we give the government too much power. (Mind-numbing bureaucracy.)

Memento because its about a man that lives in perpetual illusion, constantly manipulated by those around him for their own purposes.
