Another good movie i just saw was "Hamburger Hill", it was just on TNT.. I must have insomnia cause i can't go to sleep, been trying for hours but here i am laying in bed hacking away on the puter

The scene in Hamburger hill when the american chopper came in and blew away all the freindlies made me soo mad! What an idiot!

I'm pretty sure anyone who was in Vietnam probably would be very hesitant about sharing their experiences. War is undoubtedly the most psychologically traumatic thing you can experience.

Oh yeah and just to keep this on topic: I love that part in Platoon where the guy takes a hit through the gun barrel. "Shotgun" indeed!

platoon rocks
full metal jacket is good

if your into WWII TORA TORA TORA is really good to watch. great ending.

hi all

I though GoodMorning Vietnam was pretty cool...haven't seen it in years though so my memory of it is slightly faded.
Oh...and Full Metal Jacket too...can't forget that masterpiece.

Take it easy y'all

How about-

D-Day The Sixth Of June

Battle of The Bulge

A Bridge Too far

Kelly's Heroes was really good.F.M.J. and Platoon.
Saving Private Ryan-A Classic
I also want to see"Enemy At The Gates". I have heard that it is a classic.
"None But The Brave"Steve McQueen
"There is a Frank Sinatra movie about the Burma campaign,can't think of the name...The Chosen Few?Steve McQueen was in that one too.
Patton..of course...
Enemy Mine?Good war movie about the war in space.

I like movies based on historical events, they capture the attention of many people who may become concerned with the events the movie is based on
but a movie is illusion
the event we see on the screen will never be exactly the same as the true historical event

here are two of those

Saving private ryan: It is limited as a history movie
because it focuses only on a single small group of men in the midst of a gigantic battle (Normandy). But Private Ryan doesnt get anything wrong , there are no historical errors or artistic liberties taken. And many veterans have said that the horrific scene of the beach assault is the closest theyve ever come to see

Das Boot:
There is an English-overdubbed version of this movie (called The Boat) but the better version is in German, with English subtitles. The dubbed version is 40 minutes shorter, because they assumed American audiences didn't have an adequate attention span
but the movie is a masterpiece of realism

Sands Of Iwo Jima
Green Berets

John "The Duke"Wayne...One of the best...

All Quiet On The Western Front
The Red Badge Of Courage

Band of Brothers looks like it is going to be good. I was watching the making of it on HBO. It is directed by Tom Hanks I think and Steven Speilberg(SP?) so it should be good. It starts this fall and is a series on HBO, I think like 6 episodes.

Full Metal Jacket was great, I felt so bad for the suicidal kid when they hold him down and hit him with the bars of soap. Saving Private Ryan had some good scenes, like when one guy goes to put the sticky bomb on the tank and is blows up.

War is a horrible thing.

Check this one out: "Stalingrad"

It's a World War II flick from the average German soldiers view, on the Eastern Front - some of the worst fighting in the entire war. Just goes to show we're all humans.

Do NOT get the dubbed version. Just read the subtitles and watch, dubbing ruins the entire thing.

Another one I'd go for is "When Trumpets Fade".
Both are under my "favorites" and deserved to be watched, in my opinion.
