A chain reaction
I have been absent from this forum for a few days and I can see how this thread has evolve from mini scale airplanes to World War II films to what you might consider modern wars.
Well here's a kicker for u gentlemen of fine taste: When I was a little kid about 3-4 years perhaps even as young as I can remember my first film and also my first war film was that of Rambo Second Blood. How about that, you would think what kind of parent let a 3 year old watch a war movie with gore and violence, you may also think I might grow up to be a war maniac. Well, my parents were not bad, actually I think they are the best, and as of the Psycological impacts that movie might have had on me are unotizable, I use to love war up until my great grandma died when i was 5. Then I came to understand that war was evil and people died, people you love just like my great grandma. Anyways this is not the point, the point is Since this discussion is head with Russia and Middle East I might as well through in Korea and Vietnam. John Rambo was my war hero as a child, I even pretend I was him and used sticks or rocks pretending they were a machine gun and granades. Also I got in love with planes, The Huey Gunship Helicopter was and is my favorite war aircraft. So to make this thread even more interesting lets hear what were your favorite war movies and ur childhood heroes.  PS I now have mixed feeling about Vietnam [good/bad] so confused, specially after I took a history class entirely on the Vietnam War. Though, one thing is clear John Rambo the character is awesome. "I'm coming for u mordok". I don't like the last movie on Rambo, that one does suck big time. Last edited by Luftwaffe_Rommel; 04-26-2010 at 04:23 AM.

OK got the old movie i was looking for. it is called "Die Bruecke" or The Bridge. it was from 1959 from Germany..a B&W ( with sub titles ). a powerful anti-war statement, where youth are willing
to "faithfully" and "blindly" follow a Nazi command to defend a bridge against the Allies...to the death! Also says much about the debilitating forces of indoctrination of the German youth during the Nazi Regime. its a good flick from what i remember...but that was over 30 years ago. now these are flicks i remember as a kid...not necessarily good pics or accurate ...just ones i liked as a child. and maybe should look at again. God is my co-pilot ..... flying tigers movie fighter squadron ..... about 47 group tora, tora, tora ..... pearl flying leathernecks .... marines in the pacific the longest day ..... d-day sink the bismark .... the sinking of the hood really got to me..rip gents sands of iwo jima the great escape battle of the bulge
