I like a lot of the older flicks too. Someone should add a "Favorite POW flick" thread. I'm just too lazy. :lol:
 
I change my pick for army from a great movie about Nam and it's effects (The Deer Hunter) to BlackHawk Down because I like the 160th SOAR parts also and not only the Ranger + Delta parts.
 
Favorite Movies:

Army- Pork Chop Hill

Navy- The Bridges at Toko-ri

Air Force- Strategic Air Command / Flying Tigers

Marines- Sands of Iwo Jima or The Halls of Montezuma

Spec Forces -Force 10 from Navarone

I agree with you on this but Navy I'd go for U-571..............Hunt for red october was full of mistakes left right and centre and half the stuff could never happen any way. Mind you if I wasn't navy I most probably enjoy it more lol

Yep, I'm not Navy so I can still enjoy it. ;)
 
i don't know

its a film why hate it? Just actors on a camera reading lines and getting paid loads of money. Why hate it?

Just history and films are only like 60% true anyway.

Still enjoyed it
 
Air Force: Memphis Belle

Navy: Behind Enemy Lines

Army: Renaissance Man

Marines: Full Metal Jacket

Special Forces: Heartbreak Ridge
 
"Renaissance Man" :lol:

I'm surprised somebody hasn't picked "Stripes" if that one gets in.


"Heartbreak Ridge" was a Marine movie not SF.

"But Marine Recon is SF!" Argument :shock:
