Yeah Bogart is the THE man! Treasure of the Sierra Madre is John and Walter Huston with Bogie...but the Maltese Falcon is timeless too, but I like the other John Huston movie Tobaco Road....I love that Jeeter. So Tobaco Road is my favorite.

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

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

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..

30 Seconds over Tokyo
Guns of Navarone
Battle of the Bulge
Memphis Belle
Glory
Sargent York
U571

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:

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

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

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.

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.

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.
