I think “Patton” was probably the best war movie I have ever seen. I had read a couple of books about him and the movie was surprisingly reliable.

It was also good entertainment.

The first time I saw “Tora Tora Tora” it was really disappointing. Seeing it a couple of more times it got better. Same for “Midway”.

A real disappointment was “MacArthur”.

It’s been years since I’ve gone to the movies but we went to see Courageous last week. They had the trailer for Act of Valor. I’m going to make a point to see this.

Not a bad movie...but “Patton” is still the best in my opinion

Glory is hands down the best Civil War movie, although I still like Gone with the Wind.

Another good one was “Sgt. York”. Absolutely loved Walter Brennan as Pastor Pyle.

No one else could have jumped and danced around singing “Give me that old time Religion” without looking weird. Brennan simply made me want to do the same thing.

. All Obama needs to do is finance ten or twenty thousand superhero blockbusters and we’re out of the fiscal hole.

Hell, All Commando Baracko has to do is star in one more blockbuster like this and he can retire the national debt all by himself...

Another vote for Kelly’s Heroes. When I worked at a video store, it was one of the first movies I purchased. I’d love a “director’s cut” but I know it’s probably impossible.

Not surprisingly, I know a 90-something, WWII tank-driving vet who simply hates war movies. He loves vintage comedies and animated stuff: Miyazaki and Pixar movies. Boggled.
