ahh just cause platoon was made in the 80s and had crappier special effects i still think platoon is one of the best vietnam film, really it's funny cause there's this part where willem defoe does the weed and he then becomes gay and dances

platoon was like not about the conflict but it was more about the 3 main characters sgt barnes that willem defoe and charlie sheen it was about the tragedie that took place when the 2 guys had a conflict. the movie seem more dramatic

Yeah, that's your opinion.

I thought Platoon was a good Nam' movie, in my opinion.

I'd have to say my favourite movie of this year is Road to Perdition. I think it was flawless. It should have a good running for Best Picture this year.

Signs was also a very good suspense/thriller/sci-fi movie. freaky.

i didnt think it was a bad movie, i thought it was exellent. it involved the audience to feel emotions and showed a much darker side to vietnam, rather than most gun-ho-glory-to-the-americans-in-vietnam-gook-slaughter-fest films.

My fav movie this year has to be shawshank redemption. I saw it for the first time this year. wow. what a film.

Yes, but it doesn't work that way.

You can't take things from the states multiply it by what our dollar is worth and come up with the Canadian value. It doesn't work like that. It works on revenues expenses supply and demand. And 100 other factors. Some things are cheaper in Canada...well everything is cheaper for Americans in Canada since the dollar is so shitty, but comparitivley some things are cheaper in Canada and some things are cheaper in the States. It all has to do with what the consumer wants.

Road to Pendition had to be the best movie this year. also austin powers 3 was my comedy pick, that fountain scene was fucking hilarious. We were soldiers was good ,but a little below my expectations, braveheart with m16's. Blackhawk down and lord of the rings was released last year, so they don't count, but still superb movie nonetheless. They gotta stop making those cutesy poo squeaky clean teen movies FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE!

EDIT: In my town theater (famous players) a general admission ticket costs 6.50cdn biggrin: where they kill you is the food, a regular coke for 4 bucks!
