Wasn’t that Arachnid’s schtick?

He left me his schtick in his will.

Just after shoving his will up your ass

Where there's a will there's a way.

Just did the 2 season marathon of Barry. Awesome show!

World Juniors.

Did the Watchmen marathon of season 1. It was good in parts but got real goofy towards the end. I can’t stand most DC and Marvel shows but this one is low key enough to stomach. Actually didn’t mind Jessica Jones either.

I’m watching Apocalypse Now. It’s always been a C+ movie for me. I think it’s pretty good but highly overrated.

To me Platoon is a better movie. So is Papillion, The Great Escape and Blackhawk Down.
Platoon
The Great Escape
Papillion


Blackhawk Down


Apocalypse Now




Thoughts Reefer..,. Anyone?

Apocalypse Now is too long, too slow and too overrated. It's aight.

More recent 'Nam movies for me:

Full Metal Jacket <- fukin' awesome
Platoon
Hamburger Hill <- underrated

I like Papillon, but damn it was hopeless and depressing right up until the end. I'm talking about the Steve McQueen version, not the 2017 remake.

I'm going Platoon as my favorite and FMJ a close 2nd.

If its war movies i love the 70s greats like Bridge Too Far and Gund of Navarone. Anything with Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood even

If the Dirty Dozen counts as a war movie -then it's in my top 3.

Absolutely it does.

Ther were a half dozen or so made around this time and that was one of them

Dunkirk was pretty decent

I’m a big fan of Malik’s Thin Red Line. It’s a slow burner

Trying this Absentia on Amazon Prime

That’s a great movie. As was mentioned earlier Eastwood, Marvin, just great actors. I’d lump Bronson and Macqueen in there too.

Anyone seen The Big Red One with Lee Marvin? An underrated film as well.

It wasn’t originally a real “top 5 list”. I was just picking a handful of good films to compare Apocalypse Now against, which by the way is a decent film, wicked cinematography, but as Hank says too fucking long. Similar to the Deer Hunter. But yeah The Dirty Dozen is a damn classic on any list.
