why is it that... - 07-10-01

...when someone calls for a single title for "Best War Movie of All Time" (see, no plural there) a list is what people give you?

If people want to list their favorite war movies instead of just giving one it's more then okay with me.
My favorite war movie of all time is Braveheart...

Set=you don't have to explain Willow because I like that movie also...I don't know why...

Saving Private Ryan. Got the full brutality of war in there.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

i dont think a movie can really give you a sense of the full brutality of war. mabye sitting in a fox hole defending an enemy advace can give it to you, but not a spielburg flick.


take em all, take em all, put our back against a wall and shoot em, toe to toe, watch em fall, come on boys take em all.

Besides agreeing with the standard fare of Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now, I am shocked SHOCKED that not a singleone of ya's mentioned The Dirty Dozen, The Deer Hunter, or Stripes.


Just remember: without me, life would be that much more unbearable....

hmmm stripes... though i do agree its a great movie... its not exactly a war movie, yes? its more of an excursion into hostile territory... a blunder, a boobie hatch, an event led by the oh so REMF material that John Laroquette presented quite well as defunct CINC of the unit...

but oh how i love that spatula... i have dreams of using that spatula in the exact same way... now if only i could find a buxom MP...

heh... buxom...

But c'mon, really now. Ya gotta love the Russian Roulette scene in the P.O.W. camp. DeNiro (to the camp leader): "OH HO, yer gonna fuckin die..." Christopher Walken taking his turn in the game...
C'mon: THE DEER HUNTER! Surely SOMEONE has seen it?

And I still stand by The Dirty Dozen. Hell, I'll even watch it on cable with commercials, it's that good.
