why someone would pay to see such a "cheesey" movie about Pearl Harbor when there is such a great movie in Tora Tora Tora available on DVD! Also, if you want a "love" movie about Pearl Harbor try watching "From Here to Eternity". In the meantime, I will smoke my Padron 3000 and enjoy the full, rich flavor! Charlie

Hey Charlie, did you see the movie? My wife want's to go see it next week and I am trying to talk her out of it after reading some reviews. A "girly" war movie? Not for me. Also, if you enjoyed "Tora Tora Tara" on DVD definately check out "Bridge on the River Kwai" and "Guns of Navarone".

I have the DVD of The Bride on the River Kwai, and no I have not seen the movie, only lots of word of mouth from people I respect! So, I guess I should not be too critical of this flick without seeing the thing, but really have no desire to see it! Just curious for other input! Charlie

when a person's wife actually wants to go and see a war film, that should send up the red flag immediately. What is it lately with these war movies and these damn love interests, the Stalingrad movie, Enemy At the Gates, should have dropped the love business, and focused more on what it was really like in Stalingrad. If you liked that movie, which it wasn't bad, see the Stalingrad film by the same director that did Das Boot, I liked it much better. Though Richard Harris kicked ass in Enemy at the Gates, and he didn't have any tart around to distract him either.

Das Boot,directed by Wolfgang Peterson, is one of the very best war movies of all time, and yes, I agree if your wife wants to go see a war flick..whoops, something wrong here! Saving Private Ryan was a great war flick and I enjoyed Ed Harris in Enemy at the Gate!
A great love\war movie would be "Casablanca".......one of the very best of all time! Charlie

The Deer Hunter even w/ the romantic aspect was a good one to me.

"F**kin' A!"

Oh yea...a big red flag went up! But I figured since we don't get out much, I would give her the choice of the movie. Maybe the special effects will at least make it a decent "popcorn" movie. I also agree, Das Boot is one of the best war movies I've seen.

Charlie,you sure you don't want to see it?Your favorite actor Alec Baldwin is in it,he plays Jimmy Doolittle.LOL.I myself was planning on seeing it but now I'm having second thoughts.

Jim, while I do not like his politics, I enjoy him on the screen. Have a rough time with Babs Striesand though and will not go see her movies. Among other great war movies "The Enemy Below", "Longest Day", "Tweleve O'Clock High", "Patton" and "The Blue Max".

I am telling all of you, see the Stalingrad movie made by the same director as Das Boot, not as good as Das Boot, but better in my mind to Enemy at the Gates. The Winter War is also a decent movie about the Russo-Finnish War. I still can't get over how we were allies with those communist creatures. Russia invades Finland, nobody gives a hoot, Russia invades Poland a few weeks after the Germans, nobody givse a hoot, Stalin murdered at least 10 million before the war even started, nobody gave a hoot, in fact Stalin had Roosevelt in his hip pocket.

kwai, great on dvd, also yellow submarine,goodfellows, apocalypse, and of course, casablanca. citizen kane is available in europe on dvd, but not in the usa. try netflix.com for dvd rental be mail. [email protected].

charlie it's bridge, not bride and watch it. one of the best.

if you can find it, "the boys in company c" is still one of the best about vietnam. if you can't find it, send me a blank tape and i'll send you a dup. also dalton trumbo's "johny's got his gun", but better to read the book than see the movie. it is the classic anti-war book. "pharlap" a horse racing movie at its best. [email protected] for address if you want a dup of one of these.

Smoking a Padron 3000 and wondering about ... what this thread has to do with cigars ... LOL!

I started it by refering to cigars, and have been waiting for someone to pop off about the subject, where would you suggest we post this oh and I am smoking a La Gloria Cubana Wavell as I enter this! That is a damn great cigar last I checked! Charlie

Hey guys saw it. Chick Flick. It's about 2 hours too
long.

Note to self: No longer open any threads by Charlie ... he uses deception to get people to read his 'non-cigar and related' topics ...

I agree with Charlie...Even though this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with cigars and the heading IS somewhat misleading, where else would he talk about a current movie?....The Political board?...I wouldn't think so...Then, the bastards that lurk over there would put his ****s in a sling like we do for posting in the wrong board...LOL
