Where Eagles Dare

Great movie, another one of my favorites.

Can't believe I forgot that one.

Has anyone seen Redux? How different is it from the theatrical version? Is it better or worse?

It's longer. I don't know. There's a really long French plantation scene that is all dialogue about the war and stuff I lost interest in that. Is the airplane sex from Redux? I like both versions, but nothing is really absolutely needed from Redux to make AN better.

I don't know if I'd say either. It's certainly "different." If you like the original, I'd definitely recommend watching it.

BTW, check out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078788/alternateversions

It goes through all the differences.

A Bridge Too Far is pretty good.

Duh, how did I forget that? I love that movie -- especially the music.

Full Metal Jacket: Most realistic Vietnam movie
A Bridge Too Far: About operation Market Garden WWII
Glory: Great Civil War Movie about Mass 54th Black Regiment
Saving Private Ryan & Schindler's List: The two most realistic WWII Movies...
(Band of Brothers done by lots of the same people as SPR)
Hamburger Hill, Platoon, Apocalypse Now
(all really great Vietnam Movies)
M*A*S*H-Korean War Hospital

Worst war movie of all time was probably "The Green Berets" with John Wayne in Vietnam. That movie was made during the Vietnam era and was god awful.

There was a story in the KC star today about the Gunny Sarge in Full Metal Jacket. His name is R Lee Ermey, and he's from down around Stanley, KS. He also stars in "Mail Call" on the History Channel. Check it out here YOU GRABASTIC MAGGOTS!!! http://tinyurl.com/49bm7
