I joined the forces after watching Charlie Sheen in Platoon and ive never been happier

Six.................What unit are you in and where have you served?

Are you taking the piss?

Now if I had seen Alan Ladd in Shane after the his film the Paratrooper i think I would have been a cowboy instead a bloody Para.

Tab, I always thought that paras and cowboys were one of the same.

Aye - Andy.

Andy mate you could well be right.

I thought Bravo Two Zero was a decent gulf war 1 movie, Sean Bean is one of my favorite actors. I always thought a movie should be made about the Falklands the only one i have seen was a doc.

The BBC made a film/play called "An ungentmanly act" a fair few years ago. All about the invasion. Very good it was to stared Bob Peck as the OC.

It might be on video but dont quote me on that.

I have to say that Top Gun did briefly inspire me to become a naval aviator but then having seen Hot Shots 1 and 2 the penalty of not having 20-20 vision is all to clear. (excuse the pun).

Strips, it was on last night on channel 5 at 10.45 its was a comedy though. Just thought I would drop that in.

I know this film is not realy a military film but every1 should go down to your nearest pictures and watch The Last Samurai. 1 of the best films i've seen in a while and well worth the fiver you pay to get into the UCI...

This ought to be good I'm getting the popcorn. :microwave:

What was everyone’s opinion of apocalypse now??? I personally really liked it, maybe for the sound track more than anything, and the colonel

I also thought the thin red line was a good film, but then again so was we were soldiers, and wind talkers...

Apocalypse now was brilliant, maybe not as a serious war film but a good flick none the less. I could never get into We Were Soldiers, too much emphasice on the religious side of it, not being religious I can't empathize (word a day dictionary lol ) with it.

Has anyone heard the rumours about them making a new Band of Brothers set in the pacific?

if being in the recaps was like the series on tv at the moment with tamsin authwaite id never have bloody left..........ive yet to see her investigate a theft of a pedal cycle or loss of mod(f)90, or id card to the unknown....
