Favorite Military Movie

[beau]

Last of the Mochians, Das Boot, Battle of Britian, Midway, Hunt for Red October, Gettysburg, Glory, Memphis Belle, Flight scenes from Pearl Harbor ))!!!, ah...Stalingrad, and of course Saving Private Rayn/Band of Brothers. Red Dawn is a good "what if" type of movie with good entertainment value. Top Gun for its entertaiment value and impact on a generation of wantabe Naval Aviators. and its little spoof brother Hot Shots!!

 

[Lawman]

Dr. Strangelove .

"Mr President We must not allow a Mine Shaft Gap!!!"

 

[Grant]

Does Transformers: The Movie Count?

 

[FLYMARINES]

Wake Island and Halls of Montezuma, two really great, hardly seen, WWII Marine grunt movies (Wake Island has a couple F4F Wildcat flying scenes.)

One more - as noted in another thread:

Word. Rolling Rock in a can/russian roulette. What more do you need for a kick arse movie?

 

[Ryoukai]

An Officer and a Gentleman
Flight of the Intruder
Crimson Tide
Tears of The Sun



Just because they were funny:
Down Periscope
Hot Shots!
Sgt. Bilko
In the Army Now

You know that An Officer and a Gentleman was a chick flick, right? I mean, if you're putting it on your list of good movies...have you ever seen it? Flight of the Intruder and those other two are just dick awful.

Sgt. Bilko and In the Army Now are two horribly terrible movies. You need to get your sense of humor checked out. Come on, Pauly Shore?

Back off, man! Richard Gere will probably be in Pensacola Beach this weekend; you should try and get his autograph.

Flight of the Navigator was AWESOME! Oh - wait- my bad...

btw - Doesn't that Stealth flick look an awful lot like Flight of the Navigator?

 

[Fly Navy]

Flight of the Intruder is awesome... what other movies have A-6 Vietnam action

 

[zab1001]

Like 90% of his movies, Willem Dafoe carries Flight of the Intruder (although I have my doubts about his role in the new "XXX" movie with...Ice Cube...as a SEAL...wtfo). All you double anchor types should strive to be as badass as Cole-Virgil-Cole.

The liberty scenes alone make FOTI worthwhile..."SAY IT! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!"

As far as the dude who plays Jake Grafton..."I've seen better actin' in tough-actin' Tinactin". And try to tell me the guy who played the Intel Weenie WASN'T on some kind of amphetamine...he must have scored it from whoever cast him in the role.

Anyone mention "Bat 21" yet? Despite that terrible shoot-down scene in the beginning (looks like some 12 yr old's home movie circa 1978), great acting and a cool story. LOOSELY based on the actual events, worth the rental.

 

[Fly Navy]

Right on Zab. Great movie.

Someone did mention Bat 21. Good flick, though it takes a LOT of liberty with the actual story.

And what is your avatar?

 

[Ryoukai]

Right on Zab..

Minus points.

Man, catch ya later.

Avatar = Slater from "Dazed and Confused". Tell me you've seen it, or just lie to me so I don't feel old.

I'll also use this opportunity to slam "Officer and a Gentleman". SUCKED.

"I GOT NO PLACE LEFT TO GO!" Everytime I see that scene I pray Louis Gosset JR will cold-cock gerbil boy Gere.
