What are some military movies you like, as well as the ones you didn't like?

Yes. I watched it a month or two back for about the third time.

Where Eagles Dare, Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood

Alice's Restaurant

I walked in, I sat down, they gave me a piece of paper that said: "Kid,
See the psychiatrist in room 604."

I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I want to kill! I want to see
Blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth! Eat dead, burnt bodies! I
Mean: Kill. Kill!"

And I started jumpin' up and down, yellin' "KILL! KILL!" and he started
Jumpin' up and down with me, and we was both jumpin' up and down, yellin',
"KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!" and the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me,
Sent me down the hall, said "You're our boy". Didn't feel too good about it.

Proceeded down the hall, gettin' more injections, inspections, detections,
Neglections, and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me at the thing
There, and I was there for two hours... three hours... four hours... I was
There for a long time goin' through all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly things,
And I was just havin' a tough time there, and they was inspectin',
Injectin', every single part of me, and they was leavin' no part untouched!

Proceeded through, and I finally came to see the very last man. I walked in,
Sat down, after a whole big thing there. I walked up, and I said, "What do
You want?" He said, "Kid, we only got one question: Have you ever been
Arrested?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of Alice's Restaurant Massacree with
Full orchestration and five-part harmony and stuff like that, and other
Phenomenon.

He stopped me right there and said, "Kid, have you ever been to court?" And
I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy
Pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one
. . .

He stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want you to go over and sit down
On that bench that says 'Group W'."

"An Officer and A Gentleman" is a good movie.

"Iron Eagle" is a terrible movie.

Edgar, every time I think about Alice's Restaurant I think about Arlo Guthrie jumping up and down in his underwear with the psychiatrist screaming kill, Kill, kill, kill.......love that scene.

Yes!

Harold in "Harold and Maude" did the same thing, acted like
crazy fanatic to get out of military service.

Didn't see Harold and Maude.

WHAT??!

One of my real favorites is The Americanization of Emily, with James Garner, James Coburn and Julie Andrews

It wasn't a good enough movie to warrant that response.

I spent many years being essentially movie deprived. I am still catching up.

I've had PT 109 on the TV more than once, but didn't sit down and pay attention.

WHAT??!!

Why for were you movie deprived, pray tell?

Oh my gosh, I almost forgot 'Lawrence of Arabia'. 1962

Inglourious Basterds (2009). I like most

I forgot about an oldie but goodie- Zulu (1964).
It was a supposedly true story about when 150 British soldiers repelled an attack by 4000 Zulu warriors in the battle of Rorke's Drift, South Africa in 1879. I remember me and my sister loving this movie as kids. Cheered like hell as the Brits mowed down wave after wave of Zulus.

Didn't have cable and my life style did not include going to many movies. The last movies I attended I saw Jurassic Park and Titanic.

That was made in S Africa during apartheid where the government applied lots of rules to ensure black actors only received a fraction of their white counterparts, essentially placing a cap on what could be paid. The film makers used various strategies used to get round this, noticeably the herd of cattle used in some scenes, this was not included in the pay schedules so after filming the cattle were given to the community that provided the actors.
