i have always been extremely interested in war stuff ever since i was little, when my family was making a trip to Cooperstown, and we stopped off in Gettysburg and Fredericksburg on the way up. hell, the first date my girlfriend and I went on nearly five years ago was to Fort Pulaski, a fort here used during the Civil War.
i have also always been into war movies. just saw American Sniper last night, and LOVED the movie. i already have movies like Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, and Gettysburg, but wondering if there is something out there i should see. i dont mind movies at all that arent based on a true story, kind of like Enemy at the Gates (which is loosely based on a true story), but i LOVE ones that are based on a true story. i want to start a collection of war movies, kind of like what i got going with sport movies. my collection of movies mostly contain sports and comedies. then i have my TV series of all Friday Night Lights, Scrubs, and a few Boy Meets World, and seasons 1-13 of Survivor lol

All modern war films are garbage compared to The Deer Hunter. That's what i call the a true masterpiece.

You better be.
Also, don't expect some stupid explosions, bad guys flying all over the place or dummy like Brad Pitt killing 150 nazis in 2 minutes or any other moronization like that.
This is what war REALLY does to human lives.

just watched the movie, huxley, and it was good. i wouldnt say it was GREAT, but a good movie. did seem to drag a little bit, though. but Meryl Streep was hot as hell in this movie

I think you're too young to appreciate a movie like that.
