Movies What's your favorite 80s War/History Flick? 😬

[Captain Tenneal]

OMG have you sherbrothers seen Excalibur?

If you haven't I highly heckin' recommend it!




Also my 2nd favorite is Quest for Fire!

(Apologies if hairy butts offend u )

Ron Pearlman plays one of these furry bastards, I didn't even know that before. Or perhaps one of these furry bastards is playing Ron Pearlman, idk





What's sad is that we don't get as many films like these anymore . The studios don't take as many chances unless ridley scott wants to make it, aside from world war 1 or 2 (which has already been done to death imo)


Anyways, what are some of your favorites

Dith Pran came to speak at my high school. I shouldn't be surprised but he very expertly explained one girl that he wasn't Dr Haing S Ngor and didn't have to do some of things that were depicted in the movie but rather that Dr Ngor played him. It took two tries but she got it (or at least sat back down, knowing her truth.)

 

[Spounman]

Full Metal Jacket

 

[TheChance]

Heartbreak Ridge is a fucking masterpiece

 

[Swiftie]

Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

Why terrible and what Soviet films would you say have good acting and a good story? Never heard this take on Come and See. I'm genuinely interested.

I've watched zero Soviet films. The story was all over the place, the acting was bad, the dialogue was weird. Its s strange movie like the scene where the girl and boy are walking though the water so over the top with how theyre acting. Or the kid starts crying because he was asked to stay back and stumbles across the girl. The movie was all over the place.

 

[Bacco]

The story of how America won Cold War 1

 

[Osculater]

First Blood
Rambo series
Apocalypse Now

 

[Boomb]

Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

You got my "like" for these two alone. Some great war movies were made in the 80s. I also liked Rambo quite a lot as a kid.
