I LOVED Tour of Duty on tv.

And he insisted HIS movie was NOT a Werewolf movie with Soldiers, but a WAR MOVIE where the enemy just happened to be a pack of werewolves! I guess movies like Aliens, StarShip Troopers and Doom fit in with the Genre!

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I'm with you on most of them Frank, but my particular faves are: Kelly's Heroes Saving Private Ryan The Bridges of Toki Ri Bridge on the River Kwai Gettysburg A Bridge Too Far Predator The Outlaw Josey Wales (maybe a stretch, but such a cool movie) Flight of the Intruder Oops, almost forgot Starship Troopers, and Crimson Tide! __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".
