War movies

[Tadao]

Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket

I want to star a WWI-II dvd

Currently I have only have "The Dirty Dozen" maybe "Saving Private Ryan"

any suggestions?

[Sam]

CAPTAIN AMERICA

[Rongi]

If you ever feel like killing yourself, watch The Human Condition. A 3 part, 10+ hour trilogy detailing a Japanese soldier's degradation during WWII. One of the most depressing things I've ever seen.

[Mad Melvin]

Some hate it, but I really like The Thin Red Line.

Other noteworthy WWII movies include Stalingrad (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/), Das Boot (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0081834/), Downfall (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/), Winter War (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0098437/) and of course Schidler's List (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0108052/)

[WhiteRat]

If you want a riveting and compelling story line that goes against the so-called "Hollywood Grain" and really tugs at your heart strings, you should check out Small Soldiers.

[Fathom Zero]

Starring Jay Mohr and David Cross.

[kahljorn]

patton is probably the best :( HENCE GRISLYGUSES CAPS. there's always inglorius bastards. oh and that one movie flame and citron or some shit i dunno

[Tadao]

I'm hoping Zhukov shows up and tells us about movies made from the Russians point of view. Good ones though, not some shit where they sit on a snow bank for 3 hours talking about their little farm and some depressing bullshit. I want to see them storm Hitler's bunker.

[darkvare]

what about band of brothers and enemy at the gates

[stevetothepast]

what about band of brothers and enemy at the gates

god-dammit you read my mind.

[Grislygus]

There's an old hammy propaganda film with Gregory Peck as a Russian, ended with him defiantly shooting a machine gun at a tank as it proceeded to wreck his ass offscreen. Can't remember the name of it.

[Fathom Zero]

Paths of Glory. Jesus Christ, it's good.

not your movie, gus, I was just adding on

[Rongi]

patton is probably the best :( HENCE GRISLYGUSES CAPS. there's always inglorius bastards. oh and that one movie flame and citron or some shit i dunno

oh god inglorious basterds is such a shitty movie >:

[Pentegarn]

You should include that movie where Hitler gets mad over all sorts of things like the PSNetwork going down or the Buckeyes losing a game or Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift

[Fathom Zero]

:lol

Downfall

[Mad Melvin]

It's a great movie, but I can't watch that scene with a straight face anymore. :( Goddamn internet.

In my junior and senior years of highschool several dozen shitty war movies with shitty gimmicks starring summer movie action stars came out all at once. I think I remember seeing this and Windtalkers back to back. And I'm pretty sure Enemy at the Gates was in there somewhere that school year.
The only movie I remember anything about from that spring/summer was the shitty Time Machine movie, and that was so forgettable I thought I had imagined it for a while.

Oh fuck I saw K-19 that season too. Jesus Christ what a shitty year in movies to graduate in.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

oh god inglorious basterds is such a shitty movie >:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inglorious_Bastards

With an "A"

lol yeah and you could watch that craptastic rocketeer movie too




also >: at me forgetting the great escape

I LOVE THE ROCKETEER >:<

[Grislygus]

NO

NO OTHER MOVIE NERD IS ALLOWED TO KNOW ABOUT INGLORIOUS BASTARDS

I'D SEEN IT BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT GODDAMNIT, SAME WITH DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK AND ALL THESE FUCKING MOVIE CRITICS TALK ABOUT IT AS IF THEY BOTHERED TO WATCH A DAMN TV MOVIE ON VHS AEONS BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT. BULLSHIT

[Tadao]

Look, I'll put Inglorious Bastards, Valkyrie, and The Debt on a dvd and send it to space to warn aliens that we are egofags and blow us up upon read.

Ok?

[Grislygus]

Bastards or Basterds?

[Tadao]

Wouldn't matter to aliens.

[Grislygus]

One's an Italian film, to send it to aliens as representing us would be an overt crime against humanity

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

My bad, what about the

http://stubbornfacts.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/neuralizer.jpgYOU KNOW ONLY ABOUT THE QUENTIN TARENTINO MOVIE.....WITH AN EEEEEE

[kahljorn]

[Tadao]

And I love it when your mom speaks Dago when I'm ramming her in the ass.




;)

[kahljorn]

i didnt know my mom was from the star wars universe ;/

[Zhukov]

Unfortunately Tadao, most WWII films made by Russians focus more on the suffering of villagers and all that stuff you hate, are documentaries, or are not available outside of an old video store in Moscow.

Still, Come and See is good. In a horrible and depressing kind of way.


Australian WWII films that are good: The Rats of Tobruk, Kokoda
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6_DKFPZxdQ)

Australian WWI movie you should see: Gallipoli (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7thAi2kSyc)

[Tadao]

I bet Putin could produce a bad ass WWII movie.

[Supafly345]

It'd probably be starring him riding a giant wolverine into battle, wielding a broadsword and flaying tanks.

[Pentegarn]

So it would be historically accurate then?
