Weekend of War movies

[ChrisDurano]

Well...my wife went up to Washington today. This is my best chance to watch some of my favorite war movies. I think I'll be watching Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, and We Were Soldiers. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Peace out....errr...... I mean lata.

I broke my system in on Pearl Harbor. Awesome effects and sound!

Saw that Patton was out on DVD, remastered and in 5.1

Have not seen reviews on the DVD but it was tempting to pick it up.

[Jstas]

How could I forget Good Morning Vietnam?

Sorry, I'll try not to let that happen again!


Other war related movies with a humerous side are:
Air America
Operation Dumbo Drop
We Three Kings
Spies Like Us


Other ones I have seen but didn't really care for:
The Thin Red Line
Windtalkers


Then there are the classics:
Patton (already mentioned)
Platoon
Apocalypse Now

A few more I just thought of:

The Hunt for Red October
U-571 (I think that is the name, it was the U-boat film that was out last year)
Patroit Games


I'm sure there are many others but I will try to stop hogging this thread!

Aww crap! Hart's War was another good one! Not really a "war/action" film, more of a "drama/suspense" but I liked it. It was good.

Tora Tora Tora

Victory at Sea (at least listen to the lp, if you don't get the movie)

Battle of Britain

Guns of the Navarone

Stategic Air Command with the greatness of Jimmy Stewart. Incredible air sequences of the B-36 'Peacemaker' make it worth the watch on that merit alone.

Cheers,

Don't forget FMJ, a Kubrick CLASSIC.

Cheers,
Russ

Kelly's Heros
Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland, Carol O'Conner ...


Don't know if it's on DVD...

[RuSsMaN]

Good call jbowl! I feel like a little wine and cheese myself now.

[avelanchefan]

Kelly's is definately a classic!!

[ChrisDurano]

I totally forgot bout FMJ. A classic! I'll definately grab that one to watch and maybe a few of the others. My wife can't watch any of those....to emotional.....she fricken cried on the opening seen of Gladiator....jeesh. Oh well......lata all.

K19: The Widow Maker

[RuSsMaN]

How was that Doc? A Red-October re-make, or did it stand on its own?

Haven't seen it yet, worth a rental, or go ahead and buy?

Cheers,
Rooster

I'll have to add that Kelly's Heroes has to be one of the best transfers of an older movie that I have ever seen, and one of the funniest movies ever.

"Oh man, WHY do you hit me with the negative waves SO early in the morning?"

[RuSsMaN]

Kberg, that would be a GREAT sig line, I might have to steal that.

Cheers,
Rooster

Too late!

[ChrisDurano]

Black Hawk Down (forgot Orlando Bloom was in there)
Saving Private Ryan (forgot Vin Diesel was in there)
Pearl Harbor (can't believe I forgot Jennifer Garner)
and Full Metal Jacket.

I can tell you I ate a lot of frckn popcorn last weekend.

Was wondering what you ended up with. My question is how did you get rid of your wife for the weekend? Mine won't go anywhere w/o me

[ChrisDurano]

LOL.
She went up to Washington to see her new niece. I had to work last Saturday, so I stayed home......hehe.

[ken brydson]

I live in WA and I didn't see her. Are you sure that's where she went? Just kidding ;o)
Mine told me last night she has to go to LA for a class for a week in June. Gonna be some corn poppin' here too
