They Were Expendable
The Train
The Bridge on the River Kwai

River Kwai and Apocalpyse Now both bubbling just under my top 5

The scale of River Kwai is insane. David Lean was a genius

Since it’s Veteran’s Day, what are your top 5 war movies?

Imma go:
Apocalypse Now
Paths of Glory
The Deer Hunter
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Kinda generic but I know Fuller, Peckinpah, De Palma got some joints. I always digged The Hurt Locker too

Seeing all these different movies named really puts into perspective how great the genre can be.

definitely. might do a Zhivago rewatch cause I didn't know s*** about the Soviet Union last time I saw it decades ago.

havent seen Deer Hunter in decades either but remember thinking I didnt wanna experience but ever again lol. it was good but brutal.

I actually still need to see that one. A Passage to India is his only post-Lawrence of Arabia movie I’ve seen and I thought it was a snoozefest, but he was a geezer at that point and made the movie following a long hiatus.

The new PTA feels like David Lean mixed with Altman

Yeah I didn't make it through that one tbh. Zhivago still has some sauce to it. Pusha referenced it on Nosetalgia because it has so much snow

Platoon

Platoon got such an awesome cast, my man Keith David :datass:

Bro did you like Jacob's Ladder ? I know you dig some Adrian Lyne films and he's got an eye for visuals too, that soft light on some of his shots. And I think this joint got some genuine creepy moments especially for 90's horror.
But something keeps it from reaching that top tier for me, idk I wish they kept those deleted scenes and let Lyne go all out.

I remember digging it when I saw it back in high school. I wouldn’t mind giving it a rewatch cause I think I’d appreciate it more now. Might do an unconventional Lyne double feature with that and Flashdance :datass:

The man lowkey got some bangers, p much any of those sexually-charged flicks took note from his works.
Hey Woody Harrelson is my dude but he aint competing with Robert Redford
