Not necessarily a war movie but a good military movie Gardens of Stone show the stateside conflict about Vietnam.
"Here's to us and those like us damn few left" I also like Black Hawk Down that is a great movie. The scene that really hit me was the guy who gets back to the base after the humvees are shot up and says I can't go back out there. Then just before the humvees take off again the jumps back in because he is doing it for his buddies and fear be damned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHTS-...e_gdata_player

Ah, good selection, Zeebo. I could agree with all the selections made here, except The Patriot. I didn't like Hamburger Hill either.

When it comes to old war movies, Von Ryan's Express has always been my hands down favorite.
Tora, Tora, Tora is probably my favorite non-fiction war movie. A couple of my favs that have not yet been mentioned here: Escape From Sorbibor The Bridges at Toko-Ri Last edited by Lightfoot; 11-15-2012 at 01:19 AM. |

Didn't much care for Platoon as it centered on fraggin and drugs, primarily grass. Maybe that was going on but not in my unit. Jim

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
