| Milites Gregarius | Post; What is your favorite military movie (Non war movie)?My favorite was a sleeper movie with Robert Redford and James Gandolfini called "The Last Castle". It was about a general who was sentenced to Leavenworth and his conflict with the commandant of that installation. If you have never seen it, rent it. |

| Optio | I really liked K19: The Widowmaker. I know everyone else thinks it is a horrible movie, but for some reason I really like it. I guess it is kind of a war movie because of the Cold War, but I think it fits more into the military category.

| Milites Gregarius | If you want to see a totally non war/ military movie which captures the attitude of the british tommy then watch "Dog Soldiers". Pretty wierd plot but highly enjoyable.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Post; And the whiner is....My Favorite all time military movie? "Operation Petticoat" with Cary Grant ( sort of non-warish..almost). If it totally has to be without any war in it at all..."All hands on deck" Buddy hackett just cracked me up as that sailor from the chikasha indian tribe.

| Milites Gregarius | "Final Countdown" about US aircraft carrier that goes through a time warp and sails into the Pacific right before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They have to make the choice of staying and blowing the Japanese out of the sky or going back through the time warp to the future. I'm not telling!!! You'll have to rent it to find out what happened... |
