Great thread Gunny.as already mentioned "movies are produced for one reason to "entertain" you there are no rules to say they have to be politically correct.we as history buffs and collectors alike judge these films because of our knowledge and so we become very critical of them.Many of my friends who have no interest in history or collecting historical items can sit and throughly enjoy a classic war movie,for me no films will ever draw me in more so than "schindlers list" and "downfall",Sean Penn was awesome in the "thin red line".when talking about over shadowing movies remember "Hamburger Hill"completely out done by "platoon"simply because of the all star cast.the true story of the 101ST AIRBORNE in the ASHU valley was by far the better Vietnam film,regards Dave.
