With in a little over a week I watched:

Platoon
The Great Raid
Jarhead
The Thin Red Line
Saving Private Ryan
Rescue Dawn

And so far I like them all. Like period dramas, I haven't met a war film I didn't like.

Oh, and Red Dawn.

Tonight I'm gonna watch Windtalkers, which I've heard is poop. But really, anything WWII is instant love for me.

You know, I haven't seen that one. I need to change that.

Don't forget about WWI. Gallipoli is pretty good.

Oh god, how could I forget, I fucking loved Band of Brothers. But I guess to be technical its a mini-series. BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES. It was awesome.

i gotta go with full metal jacket (especially the first half)

What do you mean the Great Escape isn't realistic? It's about an actual bunch of airmen who were captured and tried to escape their prison camp.

My favourite part of Apocalypse Now! is the part where Captain Kilgore brings surf boards to the war, and when Charlie Sheen's crew take off with them, he begs for them back while flying over them in a helicopter, while they hide in the underbrush.

Word of warning, Don't watch Windtalkers.

It's poop.

First war movie I have to put in the poop pile. Shame.

Escape From Sobibor was a really intense WW2 movie.
