full metal jacket

perfect mixture of comedy and action without some stupid love story unless you count 8-ball trying to get the hooker to take him

I think most war movies are over-rated, spr being a perfect example. Not to mention that it protrayed the germans as mindless drones who like nothing better in life than walking into a very obvious line of sight of a .30 cal browning machine gun. oOo:

I enjoyed the longest day though.

The only things I didn't like about the Longest Day were John Wayne being carted around with a busted ankle and Robert Mitchum waltzing up and down Ohama Beach with no weapon. He had a leather jacket with a fur collar on, a cigar hanging out of his mouth and was taking absolutely NO fire from the Germans. It was just too stupid to even think about.

A Bridge Too Far was a masterpiece.

Well any world war two movie made by americans always protrays everyone wrong for example:

The americans are always protrayed as brave,noble and honorable
The British are always protrayed as not having much involvement in the war
and the germans and Japness are protrayed as mindless and heartless drones

In no particular order,

A Bridge Too Far
Stalingrad
Saving Private Ryan
Das Boot
Bridge Over River Kwai
The Cruel Sea
Band of Brothers
and theres a load more but I can't be bothered to include them.

Someone should make a film of the war in Burma, dramatic backdrops w/ Indian temples etc. That would rock
