      War Films

      I'm surprised there wasn't already a thread about this. Every once in awhile I go into a phase where I want to watch a bunch of war movies. In this thread list off your favorite War Films or ones that you think a lot of people might not know about.

      I'll start things off with a couple of classics

      Full Metal Jacket
      Platoon
      Apocalypse Now
      Casualties of War
      Hamburger Hill

      Schindler's List
      300
      Troy
      Grave Of The Fireflies (I only kinda like this one)
      Lawrence Of Arabia (I don't remember if this is really a war one or not)

      No... foresay was accidental. Per se is proper. But just because I say "point in action" instead of "case in point" doesn't mean anything.

      Just because "case in point" is a commonly used phrase, doesn't invalidate "point in action". They mean the same thing.

      And you say "It's something I"ve seen AmazeO do before" makes it kind of seem like you think you're better. Which would be false. It's not my fault you are un-original and can't think of anything besides the most "common" thing to say.

      woah lighten up man, you take things way too serious. This wasn't a post meant to belittle or offend you. It was meant to be taken in a jokingly way. I thought people, including yourself, would be able to see that. But apparently you are so uptight about anything anybody says about you that you blew it way out of proportion.

      Oh and yeah you are totally right, saying that I've seen someone do something before means I think I am better than them. NO, it means that it is unusual and out of the ordinary. which I personally like. For instance I liked the whole point in action thing after I knew what you meant.

      And as for being un-original, well maybe I am or maybe i'm not. I'm not gonna try to defend how original I am on a forum.

      I've mentioned this in another thread, but I liked Humphery Bogart in Sahara. I've yet to see Casablanca in full.
