Hadn't thought of Independence Day, but that was a good flick.
Shoot, Transformers is ALMOST a military movie too! I figure some of these movies (like Doom), the actors go thru a soft boot camp. Anyone who has watched the making of DOOM knows that the guys learned to basic tactics and rifle knowledge. "I need soldiers! I don't need anybody but SOLDIERS!" |
Hmmm,
Black Hawk Down. The Great Raid oh yea Sonn, i love your signature. I was gonna put the exact same one as my Avatar! :rolleyes: |
I forgot about Red Dawn (and I just bought the deluxe edition not two weeks ago) and Bravo 2 Zero. Another GREAT S.A.S. movie; The Final Option!
Quote:
Not Knocking the movie, but what they really need to teach these guys is not as much weapons handling (a Monkey can be taught to load a gun and fire it!) but strategy! In CQB, you never let your partner out of your site and never fight in groups of less than 3! Then again, if they had done everything 100% right, the movie would have had no conflict in it and it would have been boring! |
If we are mentioning series:

C'mon, Tom Clancy has LECTURED to the military!!! |
I HATE most WWII movies, but the first 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan rocks! I also like Pearl Harbor. The Green Berets - please it is rated G! I love Sci-Fi war movies - I am a huge Star Wars fan, I have every single vintage figure + variants except for a Rocket Firing Fett & Double Telescoping Kenobi. So Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back (who dosen't love AT-ATs)& Return of the Jedi are on top of my list. I was suprised by Starship Troopers, it is a excellent movie as well. Colonial Marines put Aliens on my list. It's TV but the new Battlestar Galactica is superb, also with Colonial Marines. Gunny Highway (Clint Eastwood) has some awesome lines in Heartbreak Ridge, as dose the Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket. Of course Platoon, Hunt for Red October, Top Gun, Shooter was good, even Forrest Gump has a great Viet Nam part. Any Rambo Movie! The one movie I never get tired of seeing is Braveheart!
