Savin Private Ryan/War movies

On HBO tonight was Saving Private Ryan. IMO the best god damn war movie ever made. Who else loves to watch our history of war and terror? Not to put it in a good way though.

I loved watchin Band of Brothers, behind enemy lines, that sort of shit. Who else likes to watch these? Even though I get heart broken and yes, ill admit ill shed a tear here and there it just amazes me how shit like that has happened. And how I would always react in a situation like that.

I dunno I just hada share and wondered what your thoughts/comments were. Thanks-
Oh, and Tom Hanks is my hero. Id really like to meet him in real life about any movie he's done. This movie, Band of Brothers, Forrest Gump, Catch me if You Can. Etc.

Wow, I was watching Saving Private Ryan a few nights ago on HBO while blazed. Intense shit.

i like some of the old black and white world war 2 movies like Sahara and Snipers Ridge. but saving private ryan and behind enemy lines are great too.

Not particulary big into war movies, but Band of Brothers just draws you in. Very moving, especially the episode when Easy Company was in Bastoine.

Love Saving Private Ryan, one of my favs. You gotta check out Black Hawk Down, The one that got away (bravo two zero), Full Metal Jacket. Just a few of the top of my head!

Peace

''Our history of war and terror'' LMFAO, you do realise a film is a FILM, and in this case completely fucking fabricated. There is nothing accurate about the film you mention except the uniforms. I know that you didn't intentionally go out of your way to make such an inaccurate statement so its really no biggie I'd just thought I'd catch you out on that.

Fabricated? I think not ive seen more shows on the history channel than is good for me and seen hours and hours of this shit about WW2 that you say is 'Fabricated'. There is a shitload that is accurate about this film. Down to the guns, language, placements, cities and the bloodshed that did occur on D-Day. So go fuck yourself.
Yea the 'Mission' finding the Private Ryan was fabricated but it kept its historic value on what really happened.

If you liked Enemey at the gate, check out The Pianist. Such a moving story it reduced me to tears!

No need for the vulgarity. Obviously the guns would have to be accurate, the cities/location and laungage for it to be branded as having historical value. Besides that it is completely sensationalised, have I burst your bubble? :dance:

what about that movie from the metallica video "one"
i think irs called
johnny got a gun

yeah, war movies are sick, although i do not agree with war. i was watching black hawk down a few nights ago and it is so intense

..Platoon...is the best movie..about the Nam....

The Pianist was an awesome flick. Maybe a bit too deep for watchin when you're baked but still great.

Saving Private Ryan is good, one of the best, but my all time favorite war movie is Apocalypse Now. Pretty intense but trippy too. Like Coppola was making a war movie for stoners.

^^ I agree about Apocalypse Now. I have always been fascinated with WW2 and past conflicts but none has caught my attention like the second world war, I began investigating it thoroughly since I was like 9 years old.
-A Bridge Too Far is a classic about Operation Market Garden you see very good actors in that movie.
-Enemy at the Gates is another A+ movie whose storyline is in Stalingrad.
-The Thin Red Line.
-Schindlers List (A work of art)
Thats all I can recall at this moment...

Ohhh, how could I forget 'We Were Soldiers'
