(Off-topic; but this was brought to mind when I found your post in my ping-list):

Except for ‘White Christmas’, which my husband and I watch every year, I haven’t watched any war-related movie since ‘Forrest Gump’ (which I like very much, but find sort of depressing.)

When I was a kid, my WWII vet father liked to watch the ‘Combat’ series on TV, and I watched with him.

One night, I became violently sick with a very high fever, and hallucinated that enemy soldiers were surrounding my bed, pointing rifles at me, and threatening to kill my family.

This won’t be interesting to many, but I’m an inveterate ‘twitcher’, and my husband and I watched a movie recently that I found fun, gentle and thoughtful:

‘The Big Year’:

Yeah, that happens to me too. I had the stomach bug over the weekend. I've read a lot about the Korean War and watched The Hunger Games Movies. I had a weird dream where we came from the past and ended up in the Hunger Games Civil War and I was leading a strike to take out President Snow and the capitol (this was before I saw the last Mockingjay movie) using several squadrons of F-84 Thunderjets. Before that, we took to the skies and made mince meat out of the Panem air force.
