Not a movie, per se, but anyone who has seen the "Band of Brothers" series and didn't then feel the urge to visit their grandfather's gravesite and join the Airborne needs to pack up and move to Russia.





Agreed, Band of Brothers is awesome, but not a movie....All the other ones mentioned here have a place in my heart too. Memphis Belle was a close call for me, if someone other than Matthew Modine had been the captain I might have chose it too. But the movie accurately portrayed the Air War over Germany during World War II ... Both sides, American and German showed melon-size balls in what they did. Flying a B-17, straight and level on bomb runs into 88mm Flak and with ME-109 and FW-190 fighters spitting 20mm canon shells barreling in took nerves of steel, while at the same time, charging into a formation of B-17s like the German fighters did, after the B-17s adopted Curtis Lemay's "Box" tactics, with each boat bristling with machine guns, was literally flying into a virtual hot lead festival.

A Bridge Too Far, telling the tragic story of the Arnhem campaign is good too but with too much bullshit mixed in...remember the James Caan character??? "Would you look at him please sir....right NOW....or I will Blow YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF."

Of course I once overeached myself too after a pretty heady deal back in 2000...I ordered in for pussy and asked for 3 (THREE) top notch whores. I took the first one, the hottest of the three and spent an hour and change banging her in my wheelchair over a desk...the second one I only titty fucked because I was pooped and I was drinking heavily as well. By the time I called the third one in, I poured her a glass of wine, popped another beer for myself, and fell asleep. I went a BIMBO too far....
