Tanks are sik ;)

Back on topic...Saving Ryan's Privates, and Full Metal Jacket are great movies. Many though are complete "Hollywood" propoganda films. I would love to know which movies/movie studios are in the pockets of the American Government.

Whoever is responsible for Pearl Harbour should be shot.

I thought it was a great movie too. Aparantly it was a joint effort between two fim studios. One American, one Japanese.

Certainly came across unbiased, and with very little hollywood-style artistic license.

Having watched the movie...way past my bedtime....it seemed to me that it was an American version of our Long Tan albeit he was one smart officer he studied past war history,stayed with his troops against orders from the brass and brought them through.
Short synopsis else would be here for two hours discussing detail.

Ticks for We Were Soldiers. Tora!Tora!Tora! wasn't so much a great movie. but was a good documovie. Didn't get caught up in dramatics. Just told the story of the Pearl Harbour attacks.

Black Hawk Down was also good for the same reason, although was dramatic and patriotic as expected. Didn't really have a character based story rather was a retelling of what happened.
