War movies!

Anybody seen Hamburger Hill?

 

How could we?!! The WW2 Aussie garrison at Tobruk and the Australian people will be eternally grateful to the Jews, George, and Rock for turning the German tide there and saving them from military embarassment - yet again. (SIGH!) If only Australia had a Hollywood. We too would then have the most feared, ferocious, and the absolute bravest troops the world has ever seen!

 

I love that film!

 

My favourite war movie of all time is saving private ryan. The movies battle scenes create the feeling like you are there, living it all through. Also, almost all of the main actors went through a basic military training.

 

If you enjoy war movies try this one

It's called "Tae Guk Gi : The Brotherhood of War"

It's about two brothers who are forced to fight in the Korean war , On OPPOSITE sides !

this film is not for the squeamish, if you thought saving private ryan was graphic, you ain't seen nothin' yet !
the most harrowing battle scenes ever filmed IMO

 

Every one mentioned so far I like, but some others are:

The Hurt Locker
We Were Soldiers
Braveheart
Torpedo Run
To Hell and Back
84 Charlie Mopic
Midway
Gallipoli

 

Yes buddy.. I luckily have THE GREAT ESCAPE in its original analogue master and its Georgeous!! (Its on 2 tapes (I dunno if they could have fit that whole movie onto one tape.... Maybe with a T-180 (That movie is 172 Mins)))

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!!!!! (Pappilon comes in #2)

 

I saw Lone Survivor on cable a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent.

 

My favorite world war 1 movies are:

1. Red Baron
2. Beneath hill 60

My favorite world war 2 movies are:

1. Bridge too far
2. Band of Brothers

 

I saw it...I found it pretty forgettable. I liked the "It ain't no thing" part, though, and when the dude later fell into that pit full of spikes.

Catch-22 is a pretty good one.

 

Errm. That's WW2...

 

In Harms Way..
Bat 21..
Eight Iron Men..

todays watch list..

 

Windtalkers.

Terrible, terrible movie.

 

I've watched 'The Bridge over the River Kwai' and 'Empire of the Sun.'

 

Love the way Sink the Bismarck (1960) is filmed in semi-documentary style

 

Trini Lopez, who was in DIRTY DOZEN, died recently at age 83 from the corona virus. He was primarily a singer not an actor, so it's curious that he was chosen to be in that movie, or any movie.

 

Black Hawk Down (2001)

 

There is another film that adequately portrays the war at sea - "The Cruel Sea" !!!

 

Fury was pretty amazing... more because of the Tiger tank scene... it showed the truth of what it was like facing those beasts n the balls our guys had to drive soda cans into em.... Enemy At The Gates.... the sniper battle in Stalingrad n the movie was based off a book n the book was based off the snipers journals.... the German sniper was a terrifying man in real life... the shit he did while toying with the Russians was soul crushing to the guys facing him... there are things not in the movie that are pure nightmare and the skill he had was unreal
