lots of good movies here...tora tora tora is great and i'll watch it everytime and if it's on 10 times in a row, then the channel will stay right there! "YOU WANT CONFIRMATION CAPTAIN? THERE'S YOUR CONFIRMATION!"
isn't gods and generals that epic civil war series that's supposed to be in three parts (with robert duvall as general lee)? if so, what's up with the sequels? are they still going to make them? very good movie.
i'll have to disagree with bridge over the river quai...i have read about a lot of pi55ed off veterans of that camp and how the movie was completely wrong...especially the part about the british commander who willing helps the japs. i haven't seen the movie, but as i said, i've read a lot of scathing comments from those who were there.
band of brothers is another i watch all of the time. i served in Aco 1/506 while in korea and am regimentally affiliated with them. i make it to ftcky once in awhile to visit the 4th brigade (506th).
full metal jacket was out the summer i was in boot camp and i swear to god that one of the DI's in my platoon was r. lee emery! he looked just like him, bald head and all! when we got to basic and saw his picture on the wall, we were crapping our pants!
later on during the second half of osut, he came around the barracks with his leather riding gear on and doing donuts in the gravel in the platoon area! seemed he was a little unbalanced...ended up getting DI of the cycle though.
