Favourite Movies

[StevenPreece]

Over the years I've watched many films. Some that have really appealed to me were:

Heart Break Ridge, Apocolypse Now, A Few Good Men and Platoon.

I guess these stick out because they remind me of stuff that I experienced during my military career.

I suppose the same goes for music. Certain songs remind you of where you were serving when they were popular in the charts.

My Favourites groups then were:

The Clash, U2, Thin Lizzy and Queen.

After I left the forces I tended to watch these films and listen to this music from time to time. It helps to raise my spirit.

I just watched Heartbreak Ridge for the first time, and i loved it.

But personally, my favorite military related film is Forrest Gump, just because of that one line:

"I was Lt. Dan Taylor"

"You still are"

Forrest Gump and Good Morning Vietnam, Kelly's Hero's. Loved the sound tracks too.

An old classic, South Pacific.

 

[Fox]

Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, Downfall, and We were Soldiers.

-The Last Samurai (great one!)

-Braveheart (excellent!)

-The Patriot (outstanding!)

-Kingdom Of Heaven (Magnificent!)

-Last of the Mohicans (worth it!)

-Troy, Gladiator etc etc etc, many more, unfortunately, I dont remember them 8)

Whoops sorry guys if this has been done before. My fault. It was just to see if a number of us had the same tastes and it appears we have.

I enjoyed all the movies listed.

Another classic was A FEW GOOD MEN.

I relate quite closely to this because my first Biography Amongst The Marines has a number of similarities. Thankfully, though, I was acquited at Court Martial.
