Good Movies

[kazaaliterock]

what do u guys recommend for my dad who like war and action movies. somtin that isnt older tahn 1995.

Band of Brothers has to be the best war story ever put to film.
It's the true story of the 101st Air Born Screaming Eagles. It start in Georgia and goes right through to the end of WWII. The character are all real people and the whole thing is based on thier accounts of the battles. Also it's done by Stephen Spielburg so the acting is top notch and it looks completely real.

[kazaaliterock]

is that like a series of movies sort of like a show

[TIBZ]

umm i think this is like 96 or 97 but great movie saving private ryan

[THE DUDE]

Yeah it's an HBO mini series (10 parts) but you can rent and rip.
You can buy in Canada for about $100 give or take.
It's probably on Kazaa but I think it's a must have on DVD so I forked out the $100 and never bothered to look for it. If your dad likes war movie he'll love this.

Band Of Brothers is $80.93 (S&H included) on Canadian site North American DVD (http://204.168.156.26/northamericandvd/)

(in the US that's what it costs)

[THE DUDE]

Did you ever see 3 Kings thats good for a laugh it's a War/Heist flick.

It's kind of like Kelly's Heros.

Just an opinion, but I thought the Thin Red Line had more of a drama feel to it. But there were some great battle scenes and Nick Nolte's character was totally loathesome ( great performance, though ). It was a bit on the long side too...I think it broke the 3 hour mark. For my money, Saviour, starring Dennis Quaid was a hell of a movie. The Serbo-Croatian conflict and the government " cleansing " made for a very powerful story.

Agreed. The Thin Red Line was an awesome picture, but I skip through all those dream sequences though they are a bit to lengthy.

As for new war shows try: Black Hawk Down,We Were Soldiers, Windtalkers,Enemy At the Gates,Behind Enemy Lines,and Hart&#39;s War.

War is my favorite genre of movies and all the above are great. I hope this helps.

DeathWatch great War / Horror movie... sum great entertainment

[NeoTheOne]

TEars of the suns is good but not good as band of brothers

[kazaaliterock]

was tears of the sun more drama than action? btw, thanks all of u for replying.

[maddytherenegade]

ENEMY AT THE GATES is my favourite..
check out the first 15 minutes for the real Battle FOR stalingrad where the russians pour 100s and 100s of kids into the front only to be ploughed out by german machine gun fire....
The Russians paid a heavy price to keep up stalingrad man...
