RIP JMorrison

I live near New York City, and none of the channels were showing war movies? I am suprised that TNT or something didn't have war movie marathons. I would think that they would put war movies on every channel this year.

Did anyone else in the country have war movie marathons?


I'm watching a WW2 documentary on NBC, very good.

Nope, probably another side effect of september 11th. Personally I can go without watching people get shot on memorial day, id rather just remember and pray for those who lost their lives in a war, then watch a movie about it. Maybe thats just me though. Peace-

war sucks...
and most war movies glamorize war

MOST, I didn't say ALL so don't jump all over me...

RIP JMorrison

I don't think I have seen a single movie that glamorizes war....can you tell me which movies glamorizes war?

You know what a very real war movie is?

All quite on the western front.

Thats a very real war movie. No glamour, no victory parades, nothing. Everyone who signs up for the war dies a very crappy death, some more crappy then others.

War sucks.

And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then?"

Rambo.
You want more?

It's actually a fairly recent trend to show the dark side of war in movies. Yes, it existed before, but it wasn't as prevalent. People are a lot more careful now not to make movies about killing massive numbers of foreigners.

me and my friend always see war movies on TNT around 2:00 (mountain time) on weekdays.

its almost everyday we see them cause i drive him home, we smoke, flip through the channels and if we see them watch the death for a little while.


ive seen mostly vietnam movies recently (platoon, full metal jacket, and some others were on int he past month)

Rambo isn't realy a war movie and it certianly does not promote war.
