A truly great film....when it came out in theaters we had WWII vets stand up and address the audience before it started.Quote:

Yeah man, I have a huge interest military history (that's how cool I am :P), in particular WW2. I was 16 or 17 when the movie came out I was it in the theaters with a few friends. I could not fucking believe how gory the opening 20 minutes where, though now I think it could've been even more realistic... Anyways, there's a old vet beside us and after the movie the poor bastards got tears steaming down his cheeks, he must've been 80. That was shocking...Quote:

I also liked...
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Cape Fear (DeNiro Version)
War movies bother me. Too real for me, but I think my favorite is Bat 21.
Well Hostel and Saw bother me...those movies are sickening.Quote:

Do you remember Casualties of War with Micheal J. Fox and Sean Penn? It popped into my head but I cannot recall anything about it.Quote:

Basically MJF plays the good guy Sean Penn and John C. Riley are the underlings of the bad guy, I forget his name....and they kill and rape innocent Vietnamese and MJF basically has a mental breakdown
CC. Thats what I'm talking about! Cape Fear is my favorite movie aside from comedies of all time. Is it so wrong that I root for Max Cady in that movie every time I watch it?Quote:
