Sgt Richard Williams - I think what Patton did show was that he was an egomaniac.

Sgt (Join to see) The firefight in Platoon with the RPGs reminded me of the day I was wounded. Patton, unlike George C. Scott, had a high, squeaky voice.

There's a lot of bad ones out there, but the worst "popular" one is gonna have to be "The Hurt Locker." They should have hired a real veteran to advise them on that flick. Terrible.

Favorite? Wow. Too many.
Fury
Letters from Iwo Jima
Come and See
Lone Survivor
Zero Dark Thirty
Don't forget Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket
The one I always watch when I see it on is "Paths of Glory." Great film. Kirk Douglas is the best.

GySgt Jack Wallace - In the AC vent? WTF? Well, at least it was inventive. Commandant wants thinking Marines.

Good list. I totally agree with you on Paths of Glory.

I hated Apocalypse Now. Too over the top and antimilitary. I would add these:

Saving Private Ryan

Hacksaw Ridge

We Were Soldiers

Brotherhood of War

The Pacific

Finally, three great miniseries of the '70s:

Once an Eagle

The Winds of War

War and Remembrance

I'm realty looking forward to the new miniseries coming out about the War in Europe.
