First off, I feel the urge to watch a movie on Vietnam. I have seen Platoon, FMJ, Green Barrets, Born on the Fourth of July, and i need a new fresh movie to watch

Also what is everyones fav WW2 movie, besides SPR, and A thin Red Line???

Try Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter for Vietnam. As far as WWII goes, I really liked Das Boot and Bridge on the River Kwai. And for a war themed movie, definitely check out Dr. Strangelove.

I´m not into war movies, i think that they are cool and stuff, like Platoon is awsome... but if i have to see a gory bloody movie a rather see old wars like Joan D´Arc and Brave Heart, where people had to fight with their own bare hands

I did not like The Deer Hunter, i watched it last night and i found the first hour to be very slow...

However i am not that far into it yet, i am at the part where they finished russion roulette in the hut. (That scene was extremely disturbing btw.)

ALso the ultimate war movie is without a doubt either, A Bridge Too Far, Three Kings(Not really war), and The Patriot. But i think Braveheart is cool aswell. But John of Arc is slow, but has some excellent fighting scenes in it.

• Patton
• Full Metal Jacket
• The Big Red 1
• Sargent York
• The Audie Murphy Story
• The Blue Max
• The Great Escape
• Stalag 17
• M*A*S*H
• The Manchurian Candidate

These are a few of my favorites because of their historical accuracy and being well acted.

Anyone actually been in Nam?? Maybe we could get a "Nam" thread going in Real Life Stories. My dad almost went to Nam, but the war ended..
