Go Tell the Spartans...about early Vietnam "advisors."

Current movies would include We Were Soldiers and Black Hawk Down.

Pretty much any Vietnam movie and/or book has some merit to it...no matter how goofball or off base.

My two faves are "Heartbreak Ridge" and "Blackhawk Down".

Love this quote from Gunny Highway-

"I been pumping pussy since Christ was a corporal. I can tell you, the best damned poontang I ever paid for was in Da Nang. The girls where checked out daily. And we got ourself laid in a safe, orderly, proficient, military manner. That is until some suckhead writes home mama and says he dipped his wick in the Republic of South Vietnam. Then the **** hits the fan. A committee of congressmen who asshole to asshole who couldn't make a beer fart in a whirlwind, start telling your basic-ass-in-the-grass, Marine " No more shore time ". We responed in true Marine Corps fashion. We salute, do an about face, double time back to the boom-boom garbage dump where we get the clap, and the drip, and the crabs and a generally poor attitude towards the female of the speices. War is hell, boy. That's a fact! "

I'm going to add Behind Enemy Lines II to my list. I just saw a preview for it and it looks AWESOME!!!

EDITED TO ADD: Nevermind, I heard it sucks real bad.

Neomet · 10-22-2006, 06:24 AM

Best: Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, and of course FMJ

Worst: Beyond the Call of Duty I don't know what was more disturbing, Jan Michael Vincent trying to be butch or the fact that all of the rapidly dying VC happened to be Filipino. I guess the fact that they both have kind of yellow skin was enough for the director.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Memphis Belle...a bit hokey, the ending and all, but brought tears to my wife and kid's eyes...if women can get emotional over a war movie, then it has to be good.

WOW ... No one had mentioned Tears of the Sun as a good movie

I didn't care for it that much. I liked the trailor better than the actual movie.

+1 KOL, it was decent, but not in my top list by far...
