The first starship troopers was great you got boobs and violent death, give the man some credit.
For boobs and violent death I recommend Rise of the Footsoldier.
Lot of good lists here, but I have to give a nod to Ink for The Patriot, the Mel Gibson one, not the Steven Segal one. Haven't seen that movie in years, gonna have to find a copy.
-
Of the newer movies my choices would be Taken and Gran Torino.
-
Gran Torino.
Gran Torino? How do you figure? I found the acting lacking by nearly everyone... and the plot could have been handled better. But the story line was good. Shame, really, it had great potential.
-
Welcome to woop woop.
-
A lot of great movies to pick from. Some that I feel are classics.....
Star Wars (the original 3)
The Longest Day
Battle of Britian....... "Repeat please."
Blazing Saddles....... "Excuse me while I whip this out" and "Hey! Where are all the white women at?"
Monty Python (Holy Grail)
The Great Escape (Steve McQueen of course)
Gone in 60 seconds (The original.)
The Blues Brothers......."It's 102 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, a half a pack of butts, it's dark out and we're wearing sunglasses."
And this is the short list.

what about the first "Jurassic park", another great one.

Because every time they tried to keep it anywhere close to accurate, His Holiness Mel I overruled them, and he changed the original script so much that it was almost unrecognizable. His character is a conglomeration of at least 2 real people, "Tavington" is a poorly disguised version of Col. Banastre Tarleton, and the big battle is a combination of two real ones- Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse. The character Tavington was based on didn't die in the war, he lived will into the 19th century and ended up being knighted and joining parliament. They make it seem like the war ended as soon as Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, when it actually went on for almost 3 more years. About the only thing close to accurate is the drill the soldiers use, and even then they just perpetuate that annoying myth about the soldiers closing their eyes or looking away when they shoot.

Couple problems my dad has is that Gibson played a farmer in South Carolina, yet didn't own slaves. Also the fact that the war in the Southern Colonies was much more brutal than the film depicted. Most of the sorts of atrocities committed by the British in the movie were actually carried out by the Colonists on BOTH sides. Gibson's character was a heavily white-washed caricature of Marion, who was a real cut-throat bastard.

He also had a lot of elements of Thomas Sumter (or Sumpter), the Carolina Gamecock. Who is less well known than "Swampfox" Marion, but equally brutal. The only reason we remember those guys as heroes is that they were on our side.
Tarleton is seen as a brutal monster in the US but was, and is, a hero in the UK.
-

Then comes
Saving Private Ryan
All John Wayne movies
Black Hawk Down
Heck, just look at Stodd list, I would add all of his also
Ohhhh, and "Revenge Of the Nerds" (Talk about BOOBS!!! :O)
-
Forrest Gump - Don't know why, but it never gets old. (even though, the book is a HELL of a lot more different than the movie.)
We Were Soldiers
Flags of our Fathers - With the book, even though there wasn't much action as most people expected, it really gave the viewpoint of the book for the guys themselves IMHO.
The Alamo (New one)
-
Band of Brothers is a minseries, not a movie. Unless you consider about 14 hours to be a movie, in which case I rename you "ironass" :salute

I here by call myself, IronAss :rofl :rock

I read somewhere that the fighting in the south was a continuation of the religious wars and jacobie wars in the UK, fought by local colonist out to settle scores left over from those wars. Is that true?

Not so much, there were recent Scots immigrants on both sides, and first and second generation "English" on both sides as well. But the southern war was a lot closer to a civil war than what we usually think of as the Revolution- more use of guerrillas and partisans, and a lot of loyalist and rebel mobs attacking and retaliating (the movie got that part of it right at least). It wasn't so much a religious or national thing as a "how much do you hate your neighbors" thing.

Facinating, shame you live in the other side of the pond. I wouldn't mind going over a bottle of "scotch" while picking your brains on the subject.

Considering I reenact the War in three different units (2nd Continental Light Dragoons, 2nd Continental Artillery, and 3rd New York Infantry) I do a lot of reading and researching on it- its a much harder and more confusing war to get into than our Civil War (which I also reenact, 8th New York Cavalry), but its a fascinating one.
Though if I'm ever "over there", the scotch sounds good. :)

You should try keeping the Civil War in Missouri straight, that will get your head spinning.

About as bad as Rev War in the Mohawk Valley of upstate NY- German immigrants who joined the Rebels (most of the Palatines) fighting German Mercenaries in the employ of the British (the so called "Hessians"), Rebel militias (locally, the Tryon County Militia) fighting Loyalist units (like the Royal Greens and Butlers Rangers, who were American colonists fighting tooth and nail for the British), two tribes of Iroquois (Oneida and Tuscarora) fighting alongside the Rebels against the other four tribes (Mohawk, Onondaga, Seneca, and Cayuga) allied with the British...
You almost need a who's-who program to sort it all out, and I have to try and explain all this to people at Fort Stanwix and the Oriskany Battlefield every weekend. :uhoh
