Of the last few, I’ve only seen The Great Dictator. It’s okay but I’m not much for Chaplin and it was never in consideration for my vote.

I saw Braveheart once many years ago and didn’t like it at all. I’ve never bothered to revisit it. I haven’t seen Deer Hunter or anything from the last few days.

It’s really simple.

The video Keyser posted was the song “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie and The Waltz is a type of dance.

Waltz With Bashir is a unique, haunting, and absolutely gorgeous film that I rank among my very favorites. Somehow I severely screwed up and forgot it when it came time to vote in the Documentary...

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I haven't seen either of today's movies. Despite my general dislike for all things Kubrick, I was interested in seeing Barry Lyndon and had intended to watch it for this countdown. Then I saw the...

I've seen and like Gone With the Wind but it was never a contender for my ballot. I haven't seen any of the Human Condition movies.

I've been a big fan of Russell Crowe since his appearance in Gladiator, so of course I eagerly went to the theater to see Master and Commander upon its release. I was treated to a really spectacular...

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I saw Black Hawk Down one time like 20 years ago. I didn't like it and that's all I remember about it. I haven't seen Ivan's Childhood.

I've watched Jojo Rabbit a few times and I think it offers a really great balance of hilarity and heavy emotion. It earned itself a spot at #7 on my ballot.

Here's what I wrote about it when I...

I don’t know if I’ve ever actually seen all of a Rambo movie, nor do I want to. I prefer my Stallone thawed out, eating rat burgers, and having virtual sex with Sandra Bullock.

I’ve definitely...

The General was one of the few silents that made much of an impression on me. I didn't find it funny at all but the stunts were really impressive and memorable. Enough to earn it a spot on my ballot...

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I haven't seen any part of War and Peace. I watched Fail-Safe for a HOF. I respected it but it's not my kind of movie.

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I haven’t seen any of today’s movies or yesterday’s. I have to say though, a war movie starring George Clooney and Marky Mark, directed by David O. Russell sounds like my own personal nightmare.

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I vaguely remember seeing Kingdom of Heaven at the theater and being pretty underwhelmed by it. My aversion to Orlando Bloom doesn’t help any. I haven’t seen The Train or Red Angel. No votes.

I was really surprised by it, too. At first I was confused by the poster but then I saw the release date and realized it’s a remake.

IIRC, the rules stated that it had to be listed as War on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, or Letterboxd. Tropic Thunder is listed as war on 2 out or 3 of those sites.

Despite having several of its cast being people whose movies I usually avoid, I have loved Tropic Thunder from the start and there was never any doubt that it would get my vote. I had it at #6.

Re: The Movieforums Top 100 War Movies Countdown

I've seen Shame, along with quite a few of Bergman's other films, and I recall liking it but didn't remember it well enough to be able to rank it. No vote from me. I haven't seen Twelve O'Clock High.
