War fillums.

Reet. Arguing in the kip with the shortly to be be ex Mrs. Boots who doesn't like war films. I'm trying to explain that she's missing out.
My argument consists of, so far,
Come and See
The thin red line
Verdun
Cross of Iron.
For the love of our Lord Jesus Christ she's not f***ing having it.

Get her watching the Band of Brothers boxset Muggy and she will change her tune. Outstanding television that.

 

[MackemBob]

Need to start her off on something a bit lighter weight. You've gone too heavy with your opening salvo.

Try Kelly's Heroes as an opening gambit. Or maybe a Dirty Dozen.

even better. Or go the girly route and try War Hoss or summat

 

[nelford_safc]

Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Enemy at the Gates
Hacksaw Ridge
Saving Private Ryan
Bridge too Far

On a separate note, I’m well into Vietnam War documentaries at the minutes. What are decent Vietnam War moves with plenty action? FMJ is a bit pants after the training period.

Artillery barrage her knicker drawer.

That is a good shout, tremendous viewing. It's not a film though so fuck off.

 

[Dagzd1973]

Nobody's missus wants to watch a 1960's war film. Maybe start her on something more recent. Full Metal Jacket?

That might be a canny approach actually.

Oooh, I forgot about that.

FMJ is overrated imo. It’s shite after the basic training.

 

[rapscallion]

Full Metal Jacket for all the subtext in the second half

Platoon, Apocalypse Now but the f***ing killer is The Killing Fields. Not Vietnam particularly but all wrapped up together.

 

[ighty seven]

Inglorious Basterds

Hacksaw Ridge then you colossally turgid ape.

It's quite poignant at the end so ticks the emotional box for the lasses.

Cross of Iron is my personal pick but many others with a lot to offer

Apocalypse Now
Das Boot
Bridge on the River Kwai
Black Hawk Down
Patton
Platoon
The Hurt Locker
Lawrence of Arabia
Paths of Glory
A Bridge Too Far
M*A*S*H

Hamburger Hill isnt a bad fillum

 

[zwartekat]

Mrs Boots is correct. Little boy films.

 

[riffraff]

Hamburger Hill isnt a bad fillum

Went to see that in Florida when it came out. After when the lights came on there were solitary punters dotted around the place. Loads of them had legs and arms and hands missing and looked old enuff to have been Viet vets. Weird feeling walking out amongst them.
