Hi, I'm looking for a movie, I don't remember the name, but there is a scene where a group of soldiers are getting ready to be deployed and one of the is complaining about all the gear that he needs to carry and how much it weights, do you guys know what movie is this?
Warfare is an incredibly technical endeavor — especially since armies ballooned in the early 19th Century. Does anyone have movie recommendations that portray the skill and craft that goes into being a proficient soldier or Marine? (I’m leaving out naval and Air Force movies since the technology involved makes pretty much ensures technical skills will be showcased.)
Edited to add: After I posted, I thought of a better way to say it. There’s a genre of movies called “competency porn”. The Martian is a good example. What is some good military competency porn that isn’t just trigger pulling?
Tropic thunder
Kelly’s heroes
What else?
I think most people would pick Robert Lee Ermey. He’s definitely my favorite. Dale Dye has done some amazing work , but his association with Steven Seagal loses points for him.
Does anyone know what movie this is? It was the first photo of a Bing article (best war movies of all time) but this still doesn’t seem to be from the ones on the list.
This movie has got to be one of the most sad and war accurate movies ever made, I'd say it's the greatest east asian War Movie out there and with the interesting accuracy to the 88th Division's support in being trained by Nazi Germany with Imperial German equipment it is both interesting and satisfying. The plot is the last stand of the Sihang warehouse that is being invaded by a Japanese force of over 20,000 soldiers, it is estimated that 400 of those 20,000 were killed by 800 Chinese soldiers over the course of 4-5 days which during that time period with inferior weaponry is quite spectacular. It's incredibly graphic but it is regarded even today as the "Chinese Thermopylae". It also shows how terrified some soldiers were of fighting and the others who pressured them into fighting for their home. Have watched it 4 times now and still love it. Crazy good movie.
Put watching this movie off for yrs , but sat at work with a few hours to pass. There is no way they could have taken on that SS company. It started off great.....but. That's why I gave this a pass, Hollywood at its finest (sarcasm )
looking for old war movie with masked girl
does anyone know of any old world war 1 or 2 movies with a group of kids hiding away from the war one of the girls wears a mask the entire movie and at the end it shows a painting of her or some other girl as she takes off her mask and shows her face to a boy, im looking for this movie i have no other memories of it but very curious to find out what its called
So I’m looking for a movie where a group of soldiers, whom If I remember I think might be French, but I am not positive. I do remember, they wear black uniforms if that helps at all. They are in a tropical place where the Japanese were during the war, and are forced to occupy the area, and begin to carry out shooting executions on local village people who they believed were working with the Japanese. The main character of the film gets tired of carrying out these brutal killings and expresses to the commander this, and the commander offers him a chance to run away,(I believe to a beach) and is given a head start with the soldiers following behind him, with the intent to kill him if he is caught.
THANK YOU, I watched this movie a few years ago, so my memory of some of the details are unfortunately a bit fuzzy, but please let me know if somebody has any idea what movie I’m thinking of!!
So I used to watch this movie as an early teen in the very beginning there's a sniper whose watching a trade of some type go on at a house in the middle of no where. You know a sniper can't move or the cover will be blown the camera pans to the sniper and he's letting a ant bite his face that's all I remember from the beginning. There's then another seen in the movie where him and another sniper are having a battle they're using night vision or at least the enemy sniper had it they were talking to one another on coms well the friendly sniper shoots a explosive tank and at the said time he sneaks around the enemy sniper and kills him it's a really good movie but yet I can only remember then two scenes please help me out.
I'm trying to identify a WWII movie I watched years ago. The story involves an orchestra taken prisoner by the Germans, who show some respect for the musicians. A couple of U.S. Army soldiers disguise themselves as members of the orchestra.
