Re: What is your favorite war movie?

No particular order except one:

1. Saving Private Ryan - 'nuff said. The first 30 minutes gave me a whole new respect for those who fought in WWII...or any war for that matter

Full Metal Jacket - Me and my brother wore the tape out when we were little

Black Hawk Down - Ridley Scott was the star of that movie

We Were Soldiers - Mel Gibson's best performance?

Mega Force - Anyone remember this one? Chuck Norris as Ace Stryker. Classic!!!

Enemy at the Gates - Only saw it once, like 3 years ago. Still love what I remember.

Band of Brothers - If this was one movie it would be the best. Instead its the best mini-series of all time.

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Out of all the people I work with, only one person likes Apocalypse Now! I don't get it, how can one not love that movie?

the soundtrack is tripped the F out, and the characters, Brando, Sheen, Hopper, Ford...

Laurence Fishburne! some people miss this, but he was Mr. Clean on the boat....(Swift Boat - lol). He was like a kid!

I think most people write off the movie just because of the last 30 minutes, but that is an unfair assesment.
Most people look for closure in a movie, an understanding; but when they have an ending they just don't get, a lot of them just say I wasted my time, it's not an enjoyable movie.

For me I'm really interested in many aspects of the art of cinema, like the characters and how the director develops them, the music, the way scenes are shot, etc. Sure I may not really get the ending of AN, but hey the movie as a whole is great like you said supaz about the characters.

(P.S. supaz, you must be a big movie fan? :wink: )

yeah man, I dig movies. I'm going to check out the Deerhunter. i've always heard it's a great movie, but now i'm sold on it.

Any ever seen The Boys of Company C ?
