tuskegee airman was not a good film. Should have been better. From what I hear, (from the granddaugther of a tuskegee trainer), the film was a disappointment to them.

I personally felt that it should have been better. From reading and eatching documentaries, there's more subject matter that the film could have used to make it better.

Watch it anyways.

let me know what you think afterwards.

empire of the sun. (was reminded of it by lazs list)

it's not a battle film, its a POW film, but it is brilliant IMHO.

hamburger hill is a great one too.

When Trumpets Fade

When trumpets fade blows goats. Worst movie in my collection. I only paid 5 or 7.50 for it, but ****, its the biggest piece of war movie crap I have ever seen. Makes pearl harbor look great.

Tae guk gi, like lazs said, is a good one if you haven't already seen it. Great battle scenes and a good story.

Flight of the Intruder is worth seeing.

Bronk · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2007, 11:50:38 AM »

The Great Raid

If you haven't seen it.

Thought it was a good film, except for the love interest bs.
