Favorite War Movies

Recommended Posts

RobertELee....I saw that one a month or two ago. I enjoyed it.

My fav's....

First and foremost has to be Band of Brothers. Simply awesome. Interviews with the actual people is priceless too. Ya gotta give a lot of love and respect for those guys (and for anyone who has been in war).

Tora Tora Tora is another good one.

Really like Midway. Turning point on the war in the Pacific!

We Were Soldiers is powerful too.

Oh yeah...can't forget about Saving Private Ryan either!

I really enjoy the WWII movies. My grandpa was in Europe and I ALWAYS enjoy hearing his stories.

I don't know if it was a big screen movie or a tv movie but I really liked Gettysburg. Martin Sheen was kind of hard to believe as General Lee but he wasn't too bad. The whole idea of friends and family knowing they were shooting at eachother is hard to get my mind around.

wow I must be really bored this morning, although I do have some stuff to do outside this morning I'm trying to put it off till later anyway,,, I went and counted the war movies I have 27 in all I wish I had more.

The favorites and some oddities

Dirty Dozen--- when I was a kid I seen the movie at the show hall and my mom told me I was standing up in bed shooting a machine gun in my sleep ha ha ha

Zulu--- awesome long drawn out British movie with exteme end

oddities

Dr. Strangelove. by far but the music? huh and when George Scott describes a B-52 flying low and puts his arms out like wings "frying chickens in the barnyard"

Father Goose--- a good family movie

Sea Chase--- John Wayne is the captain of a German tramp steamer

Gallipoli--- reminds me of why there really is no such thing as a good war movie

Ace of Aces

All Quiet on the Western Front

African Queen, War movie or adventure or love story

Battle Ground

Bridge on the River Kwai

Dirty Dozen

darnation Alley, maybe not a real movie

Devil's Brigade

Dr. Strangelove or how I quit worrying and came to love the Bomb

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
