Bill: Great question. Hard to answer. People who work on bad movies work just as hard as people who work on good movies. But bad movies can always be traced to a bad script. So, start with a good...

Franny: Yup, that’s the movie Karen could not sit through. To this day when I sit down to watch The Seven Samurai, Karen beats a hasty retreat. How I Married Karen is, at this moment, being readied as...

“Gettysburg” is amazing. Try reading the novel on which it’s based: astounding. (I think Longstreet was the genius tragically ignored by the ill Lee. What drama in that aspect alone.) Like or Dislike:...

“Once an Eagle,” from the novel of the same name, traces two American officers through WWI and WWII. Outstanding; the movie is IMO better than the book. “The Caine Mutiny,” while not quite up to the...

My husband and I love Gettysburg and watch it several times a year. I just visited the battlefield last month, and stood on the summit of Little Round Top. Incredibly moving experience. Like or...

Well, if she feels that way about TSS, it’s obvious your relationship is doomed to failure. I give you two another 50 years, 60 years tops, before she realizes just what kind of man she married. On...

I certainly agree with Patton, Zulu and Gettysburg. I further agree that Seven Samuri is one of the great movies of all time, but I don’t know that I would classify it as a “war movie.” The rest on...

I liked Black Hawk Down a lot. Zulu was okay but I didn’t love it. Maybe a little too old timey for me. Like or Dislike: 1 0

I do have a love for “The Wild Geese” – which, while perhaps not about war per se, is about warriors. “We Were Soldiers” is also a favorite… But I thank you for offering several that I haven’t seen to...

“Duck, You Sucker” has always been one of my favorite movies (even after they changed the name to “A Fist Full of Dynamite” for TV). I was beginning to think that I was the only person who had ever...

“Patton was a bully, an anti-Semite and a braggart, but he was a great field commander. ” I think that his opinion of Jews was based on what he saw – mainly in the camps. I’m sure that his opinion...

I think “Saving Private Ryan” is ruined by the anti-war message Spielberg includes. The Hanks character says that saving the private is “the only good thing to come out of this whole war.” How about...
