Platoon and Saving Private Ryan, kinda like the blood and guts.

I'm no pacifist, but A Farewell to Arms, Johnny Got His Gun, and again, All Quiet on the Western Front, for the reality of alienation from ones own society while at the same time killing and dying for it (sound familiar?)

All great choices, are movies like 'Duck Soup', 'Dr Strangelove' and 'The Great Dictator', considered war movies?

Just watched a two-tape rental entitled Gods and Generals,
a civil-war film centered on the Virginian front.

Powerfull stuff for P.G.13

Greetings, Mr. Benny the Blade-

I like the one where H.R. Puff'n'stuff storms the beach head with that little talking flute head guy.

Your ol' pal,
