        decent movie, I thought the same thing, I like him & Luke. They were good together in Wendell Baker Story. That is a kick ass soundtrack also

                Gallipoli is a 1981 Australian film, directed by Peter Weir and starring a young Mel Gibson and Mark Lee, about several young men from rural Western Australia who enlist in the Australian Army during the First World War. They are sent to Turkey, where they take part in the Gallipoli Campaign. During the course of the movie, the young men slowly lose their innocence about the purpose of war. The climax of the movie occurs on the Anzac battlefield at Gallipoli and depicts the futile attack at the Battle of the Nek on 7 August 1915.
                Gallipoli provides a faithful portrayal of life in Australia in the 1910s — reminiscent of Weir's 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock set in 1900 — and captures the ideals and character of the Australians who joined up to fight, and the conditions they endured on the battlefield. It does, however, modify events for dramatic purposes and contains a number of significant historical inaccuracies. In particular, the officers responsible for Entente command of the attack are depicted in the film as being British, when in fact, most historians agree that the blame for the failure falls at the feet of the two Australian Commanding Officers.

                  Black Hawk Down, gives a pretty good idea what it was like in Africa at that moment in time. I spent time in the service in Africa so I can relate to that movie.

                    I too am a civil war buff....

                    Lived in Vicksburg for awhile and lived one block away from the 16 mile
                    Vicksburg National Park/Cemetery....

                    I remember on Halloween nite...I went up to the house that Vicksburg
                    was surrendered to Grant after the Seige.....was looking for a ghost..
                    didnt see any....

                    But going thru the park and seeing the Shirley House and the long line of trenches still so visible..

                    you can still see cannonball imprints in the wrought iron fences and bullet holes
                    in the Old Courthouse....

                    When I was there ....they had recently recovered the wreck of a Union gunboat and I went around the tour guide and got to the place where parts of the wreck was stored...and inspected close up....quite an experience....

                      Oh man, I've read as much as I can about the real story behind that movie, told myself not to go because Hollywood would fcuk it up...and I was right for once in my life. No offense, powder, but that was the last time I ever paid to see Nicholas Cage in a movie.

                      I remember being in complete awe when my parents took me to see The Longest Day when it first came out. After that it was Patton, The Big Red One and watching reruns of The Bridge Over the River Kwai. But if you told me I could only take two war movies to a desert island, it'd be Band of Brothers and Kelly's Heroes.

                        Really hated the Patriot. Lots of nonsense in that movie.

                        North and South was great.

                          I thought the Patriot was good, Andy. I like when theyy can tie alot of things in a movie to make it enjoyable for a vast audience without taking away from the basic message

You're part of a brotherhood. From now on until the day you die, wherever you are, every Marine is your brother. Most of you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.

If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill.

                                  Private Cowboy: Tough break for Hand Job. He was all set to get shipped out on a medical.
                                  Private Joker: What was the matter with him?
                                  Private Cowboy: He was jerkin' off ten times a day.
                                  Private Eightball: No shit. At least ten times a day.
                                  Private Cowboy: Last week he was sent down to Da Nang to see the Navy head shrinker, and the crazy ****er starts jerking off in the waiting room. Instant Section Eight. He was just waiting for his papers to clear division.

You know, I mean... they sort of took away our freedom and gave it to the, to the gookers, you know. But they don't want it. They'd rather be alive than free, I guess. Poor dumb bastards.

                                  Lt. Lockhart: Charlie has hit every major military target in Vietnam, and hit 'em hard. In Saigon, the United States Embassy has been overrun by suicide squads. Khe Sahn is standing by to be overrun. We also have reports that a division of N.V.A. has occupied all of the city of Hue south of the Perfume River. In strategic terms, Charlie's cut the country in half... the civilian press are about to wet their pants and we've heard even Cronkite's going to say the war is now unwinnable. In other words, it's a huge shit sandwich, and we're all gonna have to take a bite.
                                  Private Joker: Sir... does this mean that Ann-Margret's not coming?

                                  Lt. Lockhart: And Joker, you will take off that damn button. How's it gonna look if you get killed wearing a peace symbol?

                                  Lt. Lockhart: You still here? Vanish, Joker, most ricky-tick, and take Rafterman with you. You're responsible for him.

                                            Overrated as is I see it as a slightly below average movie when its rated 35# overall at IMBD (3rd best war movie). Just not a Brando fan and Sheen terribly over dramatic. I do like Coppola but Hopper was bad too. Not even in the top 3 movies for Vietnam, Full Metal Jacket, We Were Soldiers, Hamburger Hill, Platoon.

                                                catch it venkman, its a great series, you'll love it.

                                                can't go wrong with spielberg and hanks producing a WWII miniseries

                                                its also available on most providers on-demand features, so it can be watched anytime at one's own leisure.
