Maybe I'm just a war movie buff...

As I seem to migrate to them and some are my favorite movies.

Watched Blackhawk Down again yesterday. Love that movie. Wonderfully done.

Still want to see the 2 Eastwood offerings in Flags of Our Fathers and Letters to Iwo Jima. Any opinions on those?

Black Hawk Down was done pretty well.

I also love war movies. I have both black hawk down and flags of our fathers. I also am HUGE Eastwood fan. Got most of his westerns too. I have to pick up letters from iwo soon....

[detox]

I want to see Flags and Iwo as well.:salut:

[oregonweim]

I have seen Flags and to be honest was a little dissapointed, but that could be because of the truth behind the matter, don't know. It is worth watching, but don't think it is as much about taking the island. As for Letters, have not seen it yet but am looking forward to renting it next time my wife leaves :D

[ebsoria]

Okay. Im in for Flags and Letters. Movie marathon tonight!

[wdkantro2]

I saw flags and enjoyed it immensely. Just be aware that it is less about the actual war action than you would think. I look forward to seeing Letters.:salut:

pearl harbor was probably the biggest movie that micheal bay ruined(until transformers comes out)

i have heard that flags was just a chick flick disguised as a war movie so beware

I'm a huge war movie fan.I thought Flags of our Fathers was a great movie.I still need to see Letters from Iwo Jima.

[GiantFan]

Flags was good but not great. It was hard because I read the book and had so much more than the movie did so I was dissapointed.

Want to see the other one though.

I think my favorite war "movie" of all time is the HBO series Band Of Brothers. It is simply amazing. I enjoyed flags, have not seen letters.

Agreed. Skip "Flags.." and "Letters.." and rent Band of Brothers. This was the show that made me first add HBO about 6 years ago. Then I got hooked on the rest of the HBO Shows: Oz, Sorpanos, The Wire, Curb..., etc. Band of Brothers is basically Private Ryan (just 5 times as long when you add all the episodes).

Also, for anyone looking for a decent ar flick that almost nobody has heard of, check out "Tigerland". It was one of Collin Farrel's first flicks and it is really good. I got it at Target for $5 and was very pleasently surprised.

Flags was terrible .... Iwo is a great movie that really gives you a different perspective



2 1/2 stars on flags


4 stars on Iwo

5 stars on saving private ryan:cheers:

Unfortunatly I didn't really like Blackhawk Down much , I thought it was ok. Flags was so so , too long and pretty much streotypical. Thought Clint went a little off tangent. Also thought maybe it was just the acting that threw me off , kinda bland. Haven't seen Iwo Jima.

Like Micah said Tigerland was a flick that went under the radar and is VERY good and Band Of Brothers was VERY rich with fact. But my all time favorites are still in order..........

Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan
The Deer Hunter
Boys in Company C
