Ummmmm....... I think Black Hawk Down is the bestest movie ever. Even when the F.O. throws the IR strobe to mark the target. THAT WAS COOL!

The Best:
Saving Pvt Ryan
Band of Brothers (Episodes 2, 5, 7, 9, and 'We Stand Alone Together')
Full Metal Jacket

WWIII (You've probably never seen it. Don't)
