Matt Damon, not Brad Pitt, and I refuse to watch it. I’ll watch the Bourne movies, but that’s it for my Matt Damon intake.

To add to the list—”The Hurt Locker.” Garbage.

Oh, and if anyone thought “Starship Troopers” was bad (and it was, but it was enjoyable), check out the (direct-to-video) sequels.

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.

It was, I learned it from President Obama.

Yes. You can see all the good scenes/lines in a few minutes on YouTube.

In Harms Way

From that movie I learned that Japanese ships had no sailors aboard them.

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

At least in the Ukraine there are plenty of army babes everywhere

But a least Barbara Bach is more believable than 85lb Keira Knightley taking multiple 300lb+ Saxon warriors in King Arthur

Hart’s War was pretty much unwatchable.

That does it!! In Harms Way was/is one of the five greatest movies of all time.

It is full of cliches, improbable characters, cheesy action scenes, with a love story mixed in.

In short, it was pure John Wayne. The box office and history disagrees with the critics who tell us what movies to like and dislike.

Bruce Willis plays the worst American Army officer in history.

Okay. The scene at the beginning of Where Eagles Dare when the German officer arrives at the mountain fortress in a helicopter (Bell model 47) just ruins what was a pretty good flick.

Your post prompted me to do a Wiki search and there was one Allied air raid targeting the Graf Zeppelin.

How come ever WWII Navy movie has the Japs dressed in their best uniforms in the middle of the ocean in the middle of a war. NOBODY wears their dress uniforms in the middle of the ocean, ESPECIALLY in wartime.

Um - Pretty much any war movie ever made, as far as I am concerned (Vietnam 1966-67).

Particularly garbage like the Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon and other such cartoons.

Just watched an idiotic WW I movie called The Somme in which nobody gets dirty, gunfire is somewhat rare and at the end of an interminable hour and a half of chattered gibberish, the launch a charge across a pretty green field and one by one, they fall gracefully and bloodlessly to apparently one machinegun. No budget, apparently.

I hate war movies because they are never produced or directed by actual veterans (Oliver Stone is as much a veteran as John Kerry). The usual technical adviser for such tripe is Dale Dye, a former Marine PAO who wouldn't have the slightest idea what combat is like but he has still wangled his way into "advising" scores of war films... Sheesh.
