My War Collection (What am I missing?)
This is my first post so let me introduce myself.
My name is aust10n. I like movies. A few months ago I enlisted into the United States Marine Corps, and ever since I have been motivated to make my war collection bigger and better. Tell me what other films I should add. Here is my list. All Quiet on the Western Front Band of Brothers Battle Cry Battle Ground Blue Max, The Boy in Company C Combat Diary: The Marines of Lima Company Dirty Dozen, The Ears Open. Eyeballs Click. Flying Leathernecks Flags of Our Fathers Full Metal Jacket Guadalcanal Diary Gung Ho Halls of Montezuma Hamburger Hill Harts War Heart Break Ridge Hell's Angels Hell is for Heros Hell to Eternity Letters from Iwo Jima Longest Day Lost Battalion, The Men of Honor Objective Burma Paths of Glory Patton Patriot, The Platoon Pork Chop Hill Saints and Soldiers Sands of Iwo Jima Saving Private Ryan Sergeant York The Thin Red Line To Hell and Back Uncommon Valor Wake Island We Were Soldiers Windtalkers Are there any must haves that I don't have in my collection? Also are there any movies based around the Marines that I don't have? I really want to get The D.I. and Tribes but they aren't on DVD. Thanks, aust10n |

What do you mean you don't have all these in your collection? What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? While you're at it, get these too! At ease! Here's hoping you make it through Hell Week and enjoy that Warrior's Breakfast! Nothing quite like getting the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor in your hand! Semper Fi! HOOOAA!!! Run Silent, Run Deep Bridge At Remagen Biloxi Blues Memphis Belle Empire of the Sun Hell Is For Heroes M*A*S*H (both the film and the TV series) |

(Okay, maybe not that one.) Since you asked for movies about the Marines, do you have A Few Good Men? |
Here's the ones from my collection you don't have...
Bat 21 Bravo Two Zero Bridge Too Far Dam Busters Das Boot (two version of this) Desert Fox Desert Rats Enemy Below Hell in the Pacific Midway Overlord Sink the Bismark Stalag 17 To End All Wars U571 Von Ryan's Express |
Gallipoli
Bridge on the River Kwai |
First of all, thank you for entering military service.
Now, the movies: Downfall A Midnight Clear Joyeux Noel When Trumpets Fade Jacob's Ladder First Blood (?) ...all incredible movies. Courage Under Fire Basic The Generals Daughter ...all not so incredible, but worth watching. |
My favorite war film hasn't been mentioned yet: The Red and the White. Andrzej Wajda may also be worth checking out. He's been making war films since the '50's including this year's Academy Award nominated Katyn.

I didn't see ..
The Sand Pebbles Master and Commander Battle of Algiers Some very good Japanese films to consider .. Battle of Okinawa Japan's Longest Day The Burmese Harp Fires on the Plain |
Semper Fi devildog. And good luck in the Corps.
I would recommend : 55 Days At Peking Braveheart And feel free to check out my collection. I am sure there are many more listed in my owned or wishlist under war. |

E. Honda that post had my laughing.
Last night I added Tae Guk Gi and The Great Raid. I saw 55 Days At Peking the other day. It was at GameStop, I guess they didn't have it in there computer so it was marked as a USED DVD for only 1.99. I'll have to grab that one. They have a decent deal by the way, buy 2 get 2 free, GameStop. No I don't have A Few Good Men, yet. I need to pick that one for sure though. You all gave me a lot of movies to look into. Thanks A LOT! This will keep me busy and time flying until arriving at Parris Island. -aust10n |
