Whats the best war movie u have watched?

[Wreckwrx]

The ROME mini-series is really like the ancient history version of "Sex, Lies and Videotape".....

 

I must say it gives a very interesting insight on what actually goes on behind an empire.

 

My fave character in the series is the brutish Titus Pollo. I always remember this line from him, "Wet as October" and he is not referring to the rain.

Yupz....Yupz.... that was the opening battle scene. Think the horses were spooked because the "artilery shells" were bursting too near to them and Russel Crowe had to steady their nerves..... Super Gung Ho man!!

There will probably be a new one in 2008 directed by Peter Jackson for remaking the 1955 DAMBUSTERS. Looking forward for it.

 

Finally , we SGP too have mean WAR machine

 

 

Finally we have our very own 55tonnes Leopard II A4 MBT

Speaking of coming attractions, apart from Dambusters, we can also expect:

 

1. Valkyrie - Starring Tom Cruise as a German Officer that plots to assasinate Hitler

 

2. Pinkville - Oliver Stone is going direct, and Bruce Willis is going to act in the re-telling of the 1968 My Lai massacre (Vietnam War).

Didn't know CASABLANCA is a War Movie????

 

Always thought it was some romance thingy....

[Mlimhs]

Oh yeah, i forgot Tom Cruise as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg.

 

Not sure about the Pinkville.

Oliver Stone is still seeking financing for Pinkville so the movie is not even made yet....

 

Btw, Pinkville is the military code for region where My Lai is located.

 

As for Valkyrie, it will be interesting to see Tom Cruise playing a Nazi Officer and I wonder if he can pull off the characterization.

 

I saw some actual pic of Col. Stauffenberg vs. Tom Cruise and I must say they look quite alike from the side profile.

 

George Lucas is also getting someone to write the script of "Red Tails".

 

The film is about a group of African-American fighter pilots who had to overcome racism and the color barrier to become the Tuskegee Airmen, the legendary first African-American pilots in U.S. military history. (The planes were distinguished by their red-painted tails, hence the title.)

Ehhh.. How come nobody included "flyboy"? That is a nice war movie eh. We got a lot of poll for army movies. Damn stylo milo their flying sia. Can even use pistol to kill enemy. His aiming super zun lor.

 

If u like "Flyboy", then perhaps u should check out the classic movie "Battle of Britain".... got a lot of dog fights also.

Casablanca. Saw that show long ago, though it has WW2 as its setting, I don't recall there's any battle scenes with soldiers shooting each other, throwing grenades, the stuff that most war movies have.

[Mlimhs]

Ar yes...how can i forgot The Tuskegee Airmen by Lawerence Fishburne.

 

Hmmm if Lucasfilm were to come out Red Tails, it would be pretty nice special effects like starwars?

[Mlimhs]

OIC....

[Wreckwrx]

Not sure about the special effects though but I am really keen to watch this one.

The Tuskegee Airmen part 1

 

 

Year: 1943

 

Ops/Theater: Airforce/Mediterranean

 

 

HBO 1995 movie about the Tuskegee Airmen and their fight against both Nazi Germany and prevalent racism of the time.

 

Have not watched but will do so soon

 

 

 

[CKP]

"A Bridge Too Far" 1977 war movie, absolutely the best..

 

 

 

Year: 1944

 

Ops/Theater: Airborne/Holland

 

 

This one has many big stars like Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford etc. Worth watching and RE-watching.

 

Apparently, Montgomery is over rated.
