this one really sticks out against the others as a film that makes war look like a boys own adventure and not actually that bad.
Good film, but not sure I’m comfortable with it in this company.
I’m tempted to replace it with First Blood, which is really an ‘action’ film and has dual leads of Stallone and Dennehy!
Has 100% zero war scenes.
Pretty much the film version of Born in the USA and equally as misunderstood.
There’s one film others rate that I just can’t be having with. It’s basically U(S) 571 with really good battle scenes.
No votes for Schindler’s.
Interesting.
I think Paths of Glory is the only Kubrick film I haven’t seen, despite owning it for the last two decades in a box set.
Just having a bit of fun… He said POG and AQOTWF we’re top 2 in any list… then said Schindlers was best ever. Obviously after the aforementioned top two in any list…
