Looking for films
« on: March 08, 2013, 03:23:05 AM »
Hi me and a friend want to do a war film night . Concentrating on Vietnam mostly . We got the regulars there Apocalypse Now, Full metal Jacket , Platoon . I was wondering if there are other films we should look out for . I know of Green Byres with John Wayne but come on that's one forgettable film  .   

Maybe Bat 21  , just remembered that one .  Any help would be appreciated .

This one isn't Vietnam, it is WW2.  But, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it for any war movie night.

Rambo First Blood Part II is really best avoided at all costs, though the first film has some saving graces

 :aok

Fixed that for you :aok

  Apocalypse Now    :rock  One freaky movie with some good scenes.

It is the height of the war in Vietnam, and U.S. Army Captain Willard is sent by Colonel Lucas and a General to carry out a mission that, officially, 'does not exist - nor will it ever exist'. The mission: To seek out a mysterious Green Beret Colonel, Walter Kurtz, whose army has crossed the border into Cambodia and is conducting hit-and-run missions against the Viet Cong and NVA.
