HTH Posted July 3, 2025 Posted July 3, 2025 Right now I'm debating between Born on the 4th of July and Platoon. Any other Recs? Quote
BeenHereBefore Posted July 3, 2025 Posted July 3, 2025 Go with Platoon it's the best! We Were Soldiers, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan are also good re-watches. Also Uncommon Valor and Southern Comfort are great as well. Quote

Sandy Loam Posted July 4, 2025 Posted July 4, 2025 The new "All Quiet on the Western Front" kicks ass. Two relatively obscure war movies that are great are: "When Trumpets Fade," about the Battle of Hurtgen Forest, which got overshadowed by the Battle of the Bulge. "The Lost Patrol," awesome World War I flick. A Vietnam vet once told me the most realistic movie about that war is "Hamburger Hill." Â Quote

Fnord Posted July 4, 2025 Posted July 4, 2025 The Longest Day. Maybe the greatest war movie ever and rarely gets mentioned as such. Kids and I are gonna watch Miracle later today to get some patriotic juices flowing. Quote

jerryskids Posted July 8, 2025 Posted July 8, 2025 Wife and I watched Maverick over the weekend. It was so perfectly shmalzy and a ripoff of the original movie, so it was a perfect 'Murca! film.  Also, oddly predictive of recent events.  Quote
