Had Thin Red Line but didnt like it and it became a present to one of my friends who didnlt like it either and is now seeking the opportunity to return me the present.

My dad is the war movie buff, and I don't know his collection well enough to list it all. I know, though, that he's looking for The Cruel Sea.

I have:
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Platoon

Yeah I'm a big Vietnam War fan. Can you guess why?

I've been looking for Henry V on DVD. Nothing yet.

And I forgot about Waterloo. I'll look for that too.

Henry V is great its one of those films i thought i wasn't going to enjoy but i really got into it (i was a kid when i first was it) FOR HARRY ENGLAND AND ST GEORGE!!!

Dull Fact for the day = the 2 sticking up of 2 fingers originates form the 100 years war. When the french captured Englishmen they cut of their bow fingers out of fear for the English Longbows, therefor to taunt the French the English would wave their bow fingers at them.

i have none, but have seen them all

Hmm,

Difficult to remember them all while sat in the office diligently work avoiding

Das Boot
Ice Cold in Alex
The Dambusters
The Cruel Sea
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy at the Gates
Colditz
Gladiator
Last Samurai
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket

BTW I think Channel 4 (or 5?) in the UK are showing 100 Greatest war films this weekend
