LOL, I remember seeing Alexander in theatres with some buddies and like one minute in Anthony Hopkin’s narration starts “they say the only thing that could ever conquer Alexander was Hephaestion’s thighs” and I whispered to my buddy “I sure hope he’s talking about that guy’s grappling skills”.

I watched this the other day and it was very good. Sad what happened to these interpreters. I was good friends with one at one of my tech jobs. He sat next to me and would tell me crazy stories. He was Kurdish, from Iraq and would interview the guys that the American's would bring in for questioning. Eventually his life was in danger and some American's helped him move out here to Cali.

Not surprised with numero Uno

1917 was a low key masterpiece.

On a similar note, I was underwhelmed with the new All Quiet on the Western Front. It was fantastic cinematography, with mediocre storytelling.

It was good. Dar Salim deserves some consideration for best supporting actor.

probably too real for the joes

IIRC, one of the advisors on set had a flashback after they shot final battle scene. It reminded him so much of the war.

Saving Private Ryan at #10? Outrageous.

No love for Black Hawk Down?

My dad fought in Malaya. My grandfather was in WWII, as a Gunner(Artillery).

My Top 3

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Platoon
3. Saving Private Ryan

Honorable Mention: Glory

I served in the Marines(0311) and I thought Jarhead sucked.

My father served in Vietnam. He told me Full Metal Jacket got it right.
