I like some of the old war movies for the nostalgia feeling. I watched them as a kid. I prefer movies to be historically accurate, but that's rare. The more pyrotechnics they use the less I like the movie.
Favorites in no particular order:
Master and Commander
Longest day
The Alamo (with Billy Bob Thornton)
Blackhawk Down
Zulu
Zulu Dawn
Waterloo (cool battle scenes, historically blah)
Tora, Tora, Tora
When I was in the Air Force, the base command was a member of the Confederate Air Force. He had acquired an old ME109 Messerschmidt and was restoring it. It was fascinating to see that. The pilots for those things had to be under 5' 6" and thin. He was about 6' so it was a tight fit for him. I do know it flew cause that's how he got it to the base.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
