[airborneranger]

In the Army Now

I spit my soda out. Well played sir, well played.

[airborneranger]

Platoon

[whitbaby]

Band Of Brothers (technically not a movie, but it's one of the best pieces ever made on WWII)

+++

Castle Keep was a little anti-war-ish, but good action for the most part.

[Dave]

Star Wars! [LS]

[TheGrey]

There's just something about Starship Troopers that is such fun...


Addendum! I cannot believe I forgot 300. *facepalm*

Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon
Blackhawk Down
Tears of the Sun
Act of Valor

[CroiDhubh]

Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Act of Valor
Blackhawk Down
Saving Private Ryan

The last two are harder for me to watch, as it makes me have a few flashbacks and raises my blood pressure. Always thought Apocalypse Now was terrible.

[stevelkinevil]
