Question Where are the war movies?!

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-

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.

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.
