M*A*S*H was more realistic than most war movies, particularly those asinine films that were made DURING WWII or Korea.
I actually liked A Few Good Men, although it was about as realistic as an episode of Ally McBeal. I thought that with the exception of Col. Jessup, all the Navy and Marine personnel were portrayed honorably. It was something of a rip off of the Caine Mutiny, however.

You missed it that we were planted here by them kind of like a farmer planting a field of corn. We were food or fertilizer on this planet.

If there was ever a movie that demonstrated that Hollywood knows nothing about the military, its A Few Good Men.
But wasn't Jack great?

My favorite war movie has to be Patton. I could watch it over and over.
If you have ever seen Pork Chop Hill with Gregory Peck (not to be confused with Hamburger Hill) it's good too.
To: Sensei Ern
As Boring...err, Good As It Gets With the exception of the scene where he sits down at the piano and starts singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from Monty Python's "Life of Brian". I was busting a gut at that one, although nobody else in the theater seemed to understand it!

LOVE Patton. Have watched it at least 40 times. Pork Chop hill was an excellent flick.
My favorite war film of all time is Apocalypse Now, written largely by NRA board member John Milius, btw.

I have old no frills disks with no extras for those two. I need to get the collector's edition copies.

That would be "Enough" which starred J-Ho and Jesus, er, Jim Caviezel.

From Volcano (and I looked it up to make sure I didn't make bad writing worse):
Kelly Roark: Paper beats rock, but scissors beat paper.
Tommy: I'm not paper; I'm lava... what beats lava?
Kelly Roark: My dad... I hope!

Speaking of Academy Award stinkers, how about The English Patient?
To: Sensei Ern
Wow, I sure did miss that part of the story line. Guess that is why I prefer the 1950's version of the story.

My favorite line: "all right. listen up, you primitive screwheads!...." I put this movie on my list of all time faves.

That line was well delivered. Premise of the movie was ridiculous and it had the usual leftwing nonsense (they bankrupted the RNC at the end) but I thought it was fairly harmless and decently acted.

From my experience in the Marine Corps, which was decades ago, I know that officers at O-6 level simply do not get involved in the training and discipline of junior enlisted men. Training junior enlisted personnel is a job for NCO's, not officers.
A more likely scenario would be for a regimental commander to turn the job over to the Regimental Sgt Major, who would contact the company First Sgt, who would detail the matter to the E-7 or E-6 platoon sgt.
To: PigRigger
That movie was called, "ENOUGH!"
I enjoyed that movie because we watched it with our daughter's fiance, and my granddaughter's sperm donor.
He was an abuser, we knew it but my wife and my daughter were not allowing me to rip out his nuts and feed them to him.
But, he got the message after seeing the movie. He moved out the next day.

Expecting realism from Hollywood is like expecting sobriety from a Kennedy.

Jim Caviesel played the bad guy? I never made the connection.

Doesn't the term 'Hollyweird' ever get tired? Anyway it was an intelligent and genuninely romantic film that was actually popular with a mass audience. There's no reason why it didn't deserve its success both in and out of the industry.
