Thrash me good, Mike! I completely forgot about Mel Gibson's most excellent We Were Soldiers. It showed, like no current films I know of, that a very religious man can make an excellent warrior.
Besides the very effectively presented combat scenes, the segment when the wives were delivering the telegrams worked on my emotions like few films have ever done.
I know it.
We went as a group from my work. There was one guy named Tom. He was an older guy, was wounded twice in Vietnam.
He didn't make it through the movie. It was hard to watch.
yes to adding we were soldiers to the list.
P.S
too some it may not belong but i count the recent flight 93 as a war film. very few films make me cry but when i watched it i sobbed with pain and anger at least on 10 different scenes.
