Gulf Wars / Iraq / War on Terror etc
Jarhead
Just watched Fury
The final scene was like watching someone play COD on the easiest setting.
5 Yanks in a crippled tank against 300 elite SS troops.
Say no more.
I’m truly amazed they haven’t made a Call Of Duty movie yet. with all the remakes and reboots etc that Hollywood has turned to,you would think they would of cranked out about 5 by now. Not to mention the massive built in fan base
The last scene of Fury if pretty much COD.
Not many films have annoyed me as much as fury. The marketing and prerelease interviews were all about the pains they’d taken to make it authentic and historically accurate, and I got my hopes up and went to see it in the cinema and … that happened. Urgh, what a turd.
It was frustrating. They clearly went to a lot of effort to get the equipment historically accurate, but then went full Hollywood on the battle sequences.
Can we accept World War Z?
Pretty good movie.
No dice unfortunately HNF.
Good film but definitely of the zombie genre.
Watch the Alamo yesterday ( the John wayne one), i enjoyed it.
No idea if it was historically accurate or not, but a pretty good film. The battle scenes and the scale of it was very impressive considering how old the film is, a lot of it stands up.
Not often you see John Wayne die in a film either
John was one of a kind. He fought the entire second world war without taking a dump. That’s tough.
Either that or he had extreme blockage issues
Very nearly put that in.
It’s a genuinely good, modern film.
There’s conflict between the protagonists, the hero dies, they Don’t show the antagonists as monsters…
Makes you wonder what Wayne would have been like as a director if he were twenty years younger.
Downfall
l saw that when it first came out. Wayne was pretty good and so was Richard Widmark. War movie or western? It can fit in either or both, l would probably put it in with the westerns, since Wayne was such a cowboy.
Having just finished watching Black Hawk Down It’s just made my top ten list.
Is there one of these for sports films?
With lots of sports taking a break I’m after some recommendations
That’s a great idea for a thread
Any given Sunday is probably my favourite sports film
From Here to Eternity has to be in there.
