I still watch Heartbreak Ridge just for the many funny throw away lines. It is close to Jaws in that category.
As war film it is laughable, Grenada?

The Gallant hours - Cagney must have had some deal where he was to be in every scene and only filmed from the left.

And one would think it would be difficult to get from New York to England by train. I thought that the US was the nation that built the Intercontinental Railroad.

The saving grace for Battle of the Bulge was Robert “You’re Going to Need a Bigger Tank” Shaw. Any movie he is in is worth watching in short bursts. He was also in that Navarone turkey.

The problem with “The Alamo” was not only Frankie Avalon, but also because ti was another John Wayne flick. Wayne was very proud of making the movie, and he couldn’t understand why the critics didn’t like it. As soon as I saw Frankie Avalon, I knew it couldn’t be very good. Some decent parts, but overall not very good. I don’t know if there ever has been a good flick made about the Alamo.

Force Five From Navarone Hey now. Barbara Bach was highly believable as a Russian Army Babe. They were *everywhere*!

I loved how he deduced that the Americans were weak because they sent over Chocolate Cake to their troops.

If you hadn't remembered Wind Talkers I was going to remind you. Excruciatingly bad portrayal of a fascinating real life story. They must have been trying to set a record for the number of cliches they could pack in per foot of film. And while he's too quirky for many I usually enjoy Nicholas Cage's work quite a lot.

Apocalypse Now
Definitely the most over rated, OK the Napalm in the morning scene was memorable but the rest pure trash
Sorry but a marine colonel who forms a cult which the members do nothing but dance around all day and kill people and for no reason just gives up and let’s Martin Sheen kill him is just plain silly
Oh and the Deer Hunter sucked also

Even more laughable was how Henry Fonda as the detective had the scout plane pilot turn off his engine and was able to hear panzers through the thick fog below.

Thin Red Line
Wife and I were going to walk out but so many in the audience were laughing we stayed because it became a Rocky Horror type joke. People were chanting “Lizard-Lizard” or “Girl on swing!” We stayed only to see how bad it could get.
If you have not seen it:
Wind sweeps thru tree, soldiers attack, girl on porch swings, lizard sticks out tongue, little boys swim as camera (obviously operated by Gerry Sandusky) takes shots from inappropriate angles. More lizard tongues, more palm trees in wind, a quick shooting and a few more girls on swings.

Heartbreak Ridge is one of those movies that seem watchable the first time but just get worse with repeated viewings.
To: LiveFree99
But it’s worth it just for the cluster-you-know-what scene.

Can't remember the name but Kirk Douglass, piloting a bomber, attacks a German Navy Aircraft Carrier in WWII. LOL!
