u seen Tigerland?

Yes, I remember it was pretty good. I watched Midway, this morning before work, awesome stuff.

There are only hideous techinical inaccuracies due to the DoD not allowing Kubrick to actually see the inside of one.

That'd do it. Also, the whole flying low and manoevering like a much smaller aircraft. B-52...even B-29....not exactly a groundhugger.

Ahahah George C Scott acting that part is one of my favorite bits in the movie.

I found my Patton DVD last night...I am so watching that this weekend.

[AnOceanPearl]

George C Scott is frickin' fantastic in that one too.

The Downfall, or "Der Untergang" a nice little German film about the final days of Hitler's power in WWII. I loved it because half of the officers in Hitler's bunker were really depressed that they lost the war to a bunch of god damn Commie's, and the rest were just getting shit faced because they knew they were dead!

 

watch out, it is in German with english sub-titles.

I just watched Das Boot again, awesomeness!!!

[AnOceanPearl]

I know it's not a movie, but I've watched 8 episodes of Band of Brothers in the last 2 days and it is all kinds of awesome.

[bishopx]

Definitely an awesome way to spend a few hours

only 8? why did you go for all 10?

[Some Random]

i wish they'd make another series like that.

[bishopx]

So do I, maybe do it from the Navy perspective. That would rock!!!

[Some Random]

nah, not the navy. pacific theater, or even band of brothers, 'nam would be cool.

 

and thin red line is now my favorite war movie. i found it yesterday. hadn't seen it in forever, but it rocks.

[AnOceanPearl]

only 8? why did you go for all 10?

I had other things to do, like play games and sleep and eat.

 

And I watched the last 2 episodes yesterday.

Chris, Thin red line was awesome...if they stopped the movie after the beach landing...it would still be awesome.
