War movie...do you like them?

[Rosebud]

Yep same thing with my grandfather as well Tone. And yes actually my grandpa told me about that (the saving private ryan deal because it was too real) he actually introduced me to the movie and got real emotional every time it came on.


It's true though.. there's a lot of people that can't even sleep without having night terrors about all that stuff.

[Tone]

I can only imagine...

What these men went through.. it's just crazy.

[Rosebud]

Yea.. I never paid attention in History class ( passed but slept most of the time). But since I have been dating my bf he has explained a lot to me about that stuff considering he is an ex marine and loved history. And he makes me watch those old war movies and documentaries.. it's crazy stuff I tell ya!

[Tone]

Have you guys watched 'Enemy at the Gates' yet?

[Rosebud]

yep... one of my favorites as well.

[RSK]

I absolutely LOVE war movies.

Saving Private Ryan
The last bullet (A made for t.v. movie that I will NEVER forget)
Full metal jacket
Three Kings - (a chillingly EXCELLENT movie)

[Tone]

I loved how real it was.

The whole thing with the Soviet army sendin their troops out, and when the troops tried to retreat cause they were so badly outnumbered, they were shot by their own men.

Also the very end. (I'll try not to give too much away for anyone who hasn't seen it) but I loved how real it was... you know where like most movies would have made some big elaborate fight scene / action sequence. Nope - not here. Straight to the point. LoL

[Rosebud]

LOL... yes very good movie! I own that movie and watch it from time to time still.

Have you guys seen "band of Brothers"? that's a good series as well. It has Ross from friends in it as a drill instructor/Lieutenant...that made me laugh!

[Tone]

UGH! No I don't have HBO.

I get so excited every time I see them advertise the first season on DVD - cause I think it's a new show comin out I can see on cable TV!!!

I really wanna see it though.

[Rosebud]

They have the box set on dvd. I bought it for my bf last year fro christmas.. It hink it comes around christmas time but it's like $80 for all of them.

I got rid of HBO as well but it's very good Tone, you would really like it.

[Tone]

I'm sure I would.. I gonna have to look for it when I finally ever maybe someday get my Wonder Years on DVD seaons sets!!!!!

[FrenchMaid]

I loved Glory and Platoon. Those were my favorites.

Glory...? hum.. I don't remember seen this!

[FrenchMaid]

I'm sure this is common knowledge by now, but did you guys know that a lot of WWII vets had to leave the theatre during the opening scene of Omaha beach on D-Day in Saving Private Ryan, cause they said it was just too realistic and took them back to that time...

War is so ****ing crazy.

It's amazing what it does to the people who survive it.

My grandfather passed away a few years ago, but he was in the army and he was in WWII and I always wanted to, but never got a chance to talk to him about any stories he has. I would always wonder while I was in the basement at their house lookin at all his badges and awards.

Incase you guys missed it, interesting story:

My friends dad was in the War... he did not want to talk about it at all...
All he said that they use to go and take the guns (steel them) it think from the enemy, because he a soldier got his gun stolen he got shoot...

He just said that it was so bad that he doesn't want to remember!

Have you ever seen the video they made about Rememberance Day?

Sorry about you Grandfather! Yep that too bad Tone that you could not talk to him... hey the story that they keep inside them...I can't even imagine...

[Rosebud]

I'm sure I would.. I gonna have to look for it when I finally ever maybe someday get my Wonder Years on DVD seaons sets!!!!!

[FrenchMaid]
