I love <i> The Great Escape</i>, <i>Glory</i>, <i>Life Is Beautiful</i>, and spoofs based on war movies. <br /><br />War movies I do want to see include <i>Apocalypse Now</i>, <i>Schindler's List</i>, and <i>Lawrence of Arabia</i>.<br /><br />Crappiest war movie that I have seen: <i>Pearl Harbor</i>. I still can't believe I saw it TWICE in the theater.

I would have included the Cold War and then you could have reviewed two Kubrick films.<br /><br />Personally after watching The Hurt Locker I kind of wish more films on the subject were not so one-sided because it was very refreshing to not be spoon-fed the message of the film. And as much as I love Paths of Glory, the script is too obvious. There was more to that war than carnage.<br /><br />You really love your adverbs.Wendy McMillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861987347657276616noreply@blogger.com
