Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I had better add a couple too...
Tears of the Sun
Kiss kiss bang bang
Band of Brothers series
As far as remakes that were better than the origionals go, I would vote for the Batmans with christian bale, and I thought the new Bond movies were pretty decent...

I will see this movie but they have made some really bad straight-to-DVD sequels lately. War of the worlds 2... but the first movie was bad too.
I have seen a few good sequels though. The Dark Night, Terminator 2 and 3. Matrix 2...
But I hope they don't screw this up. They will though.

Really? This movie was nearly unwatchable for me. Terrible.

Cant believe it took this long to include Black Hawk Down.
Most of the movies listed are fiction, how about some non fiction real life scenarios.
Im excited about Red Dawn 2, thought about this many times, do you think they have a chance? they not only have to contend with the most advanced military in the world but us also. I think thats the only thing that keeps war off our soil. (other than us fighting ourselves civil fashion)
This should be good. I liked the first one because it was here in Colorado and while east and west coast seemed to welcome their new overlords rednecks here didn't take any shit. We shot back and won. My favorite line was when C Thomas Howell was getting ready to execute the traitors and the POW and the POW said "I will show how a Russian dies." And he said "Seen it before, pal." Great stuff.
I see the new one blaming it on Bush not Obama. Then showing the main character not as a strong American forced into the job of Gorilla fighter with a few weaknesses that he puts aside long enough to pull out a set of nuts needed. But instead it will follow around a POS looser that is half a fag and has no place in uniform and should be living off of others like the liberal coward that he is. Like in Jarhead. They never showed what he was doing after he left the corps in jarhead. I have a feeling that after he made a few interviews condemning his actions out there he turned into a rough trick named Jim.
And this movie will fall into the waste basket with all the other movies that were to wrong for us to see and was to tough for the left to enjoy. (e.g. Generation Kill, Wolf, The Kingdom...)

I'm looking forward to and at the same time dreading this remake. Got to say my favorite scene went:
Jed Eckert: ...Well, who *is* on our side?
Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
Col. Andy Tanner: There *were*.
Of course now China must be bad guys.
It is an important concept for the American people to be confronted with, I'm just not sure that main stream Hollywood is up for the task.

You want a nonfiction, real life scenario? Go find a copy of The Hanoi Hilton. I have a copy on VHS, I've never seen it on DVD. It's a fairly good representation of 'real life' for the guys who got shot down over North Vietnam. I wouldn't recommend it as light entertainment, and especially not for kids, but it's worth watching. Give some folks a bit of perspective.

I haven't seen this one posted yet. Granted, it was very hard to watch but I thought it was pretty well done and very respectful. Yes, it's an HBO movie and that is normally enough to get it banned from my home.
For this one, I'll make an exception:
Taking Chance.
Watch it...but if you're the type of guy who doesn't like others to see you emotional, watch it alone.
What's wrong with HBO? (I don't have it so I don't know).
Okay, so I just finished watching Red Dawn. Was it originally a book? This movie is packed full of serious subplots and character development. It's a shame it had so little dialog and such poor production value. At least it didn't insult the viewer by spelling everything out for them. Makes the viewer think of different aspects on their own.
Also I liked the visual of riding around on horses with AK-47s. Heh. Thanks for the recommendation guys.
