TaeGukGi is about the Korean war, that's my shiet right there. After that movie tho, the girl from the movie killed herself, sad shiet i guess.

Westerns, shieet Fallen koo as fuck. Pretty much all them westerns based off of Louis L'Amour books is koo fa sho.

Anybody hook up a link for this movie?...Been lookin for it and cant seem to find it anywhere.

It's not a movie, but best movie/series about war ever..... Band Of Brothers that was on HBO in 2001

The Proposition - just saw that last night and it's the best movie I've seen in a loooooong time. Very good. And it's Rated R for "strong grisly violence", which is a plus.

Yep, that's a good one...

^I watched that movie in the theatre and didn't think much of it.

2-0-Sixx & Nuttkase, Thank You for mentioning The Assassination of Jesse James. I thought that movie got the shit end of the industry. Bad reviews and the length of the movie landed it on DVD only. Every time I talk to someone about it I hear the same shit, "No action, he only robbed one train"... The thing people don't understand is that this movie is about his death, not his life. Dope ass movie.

Western: Young Guns I & II are my favorites. Unforgiven right behind. Also Tombstone and, has no one mentioned Wyatt Earp?

War: Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan & Blackhawk Down. I never got to finish the thin red line but it was pretty good.

Yeah, it got a 75% on Rottentomatoes so it got decent reviews overall. It was a limited release in theaters, we had it at mine for like 2 months which is unusual for a lengthy indie flick. But like you said it wasn't a action packed western it was more of a story of life and death. I love the end scene...

Ed O'Kelley: "Hello, Bob."

Both Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt are great in the movie too. The score is done by Nick Cave which is just bonus points from me lol.

it wuld have been good if they didnt include that love story bs...u kno?

if they just would have focused on the sniper "duel" and the battle of stalingrad i think it would have been better
