Real Level

Saving pirate Ryan is good! It is a film directed by Steven Spielberg

Criticism is the key to being proud but empathy is the key to being successful.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost

Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have. John C. Maxwell

My vote also goes to Saving Private Ryan. It has a realistic portrayal of the violence of war. All of the characters are regular soldiers, who react and suffer to the drama of battle.

I LOVE Midway The Movie!

Patton. Midway.

Flag of Our Fathers and Saving Private Ryan and also Letters from Iwo Jima.

Flag of Our Fathers and Letters Iwo Jima are both from the same battle, but with different perspectives/side.

A Bridge Too Far. Cover Operation Market Garden from many different perspectives, from a grunt to a field Marshall. It’s pretty spot on from an accuracy standpoint also. Also captures the immense scale of the battle. Highly recommended

Has anyone seen Greyhound? The trailer looked awesome.

I come and go. Yeah it wasn't what I expected but still a good movie. I don't think a lot of people would like it but for the people on this forum? Probably well worth the watch.

Just like how the Captain is the boss of everything and basically, the rest of the crew has absolute no power. :)

Blackhawk Down.

No romance, no oscarbait scenes, no politics, just lots of action and enjoyable characters.
