A very strange film and non linear but a film called "The Paraclete" about seals in Bosnia/ Hertzgavina, some of the best combat footage I've ever seen. Another little known film Charlie mo pic....Viet name LRRPS.

WWII is a favorite subject of mine. So many parts of world history were changed with that war.
How did the failure at Malta by fdr and Churchill to adequately account for Stalin’s ambitions play into the final end of the war. Did it lengthen it or shorten it?

LRRPS were the green face troops that brought terror on the enemy.

During this pandemic, being out of work, I’ve had a lot of spare time. One thing I’ve been doing is re-watching war movies. Thought I’d see what others have for their top 5 favorites. Here’s my list, what’s yours?
1) Saving Private Ryan
2) Band of Brothers (a series but I count it as a movie)
3) The Pacific (another great series)
4) Enemy at the Gates
5) For me is a very close tie - Hacksaw Ridge vs. Fury
I know I listed 6, but the last 2 are too close to call for me, but I could easily list 5 more with a lot of ties.
I like John Wick, not a war story. I like the survival concept of the movie, a movie that typically portray the phrase ''Find aa purpose to live and die for''
