2.Revolution (1985) starring: Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland, Nastassja Kinski, Joan Plowright, Dave King directed by: Hugh Hudson June 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.62
I think its easily the best movie about the American Revolution. The A&E videos of TV pressentations of "The Crossing" and "Benedict Arnold" are also very good. While how good it is is a matter of opinion, anyone who thinks that Gibson's silly movie is better doesn't know much about American history. This movie has the feeling of the 1770s and the criticism of Pacino's and Kinsky's accents is amusing. The residents of the americas came from every corner of the earth and regional accents were numerous. Who knows how anyone sounded? The real disappointment is that the available Portuguese region one dvd has very disappointing video quality. But at least it IS widescreen. But I am looking forward to a decent U.S. release. I suspect the dvd import is pirated. But its great ... Read More

3.Men in War starring: Robert Ryan, Aldo Ray, Robert Keith, Phillip Pine, Nehemiah Persoff directed by: Anthony Mann June 15, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.27
Dealing with a topic the war movie and western genres have often covered, the lost patrol/squad/unit, Men in War doesn't do anything spectacular but does everything really solid as director Anthony Mann delivers a hard-hitting, tense war movie. Following a disastrous North Korean attack that produces hundreds of American casualties, the sun rises on the remnant of Lt. Benson's platoon. Not knowing where battalion is or if headquarters has been wiped out or even where the lines are, the platoon begins the 17-mile march to their original objective, Hill 465. Along the way, they come across a sergeant transporting his shell-shocked colonel to an aide station, something A Bridge Too Far would do 20 years later. On the march, the platoon tangles with snipers, minefields, hidden artillery posts, all leading ... Read More

4.Wings starring: Richard Arlen, Clara Bow, El Brendel, Thomas Carrigan, Margery Chapin October 22, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.39
A film that hits just about every human emotion in the repertoire and does so surprisingly well, although there is some overeagerness amongst the callow youth. The biggest surprise of all, however, is just how enchanting Clara Bow is as the very sexy girl next door. While obviously men's tastes in women differ, it is still rather difficult to believe that Charles Rogers wasn't at least infatuated with his next door neighbor. Clara's personality is just as attractive as her looks. Watching her is by far the most pleasant part of the film. If only women were around like her these days...

5.Double Crossed starring: Dennis Hopper, Robert Carradine, Richard Jenkins, Adrienne Barbeau, Don Hood directed by: Roger Young January 13, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $35.24
I saw this movie a long time ago on HBO and remembered it as being a good movie and very interesting. I took it out the other day and put it in and watched it again. I must say that it seems dated now. I would like to see them remake Barry Seals story now. Hopper is ok but he pretty much is 'Dennis Hopper' with a fake accent. The movie is still good and informative but it just seems like and early 80's movie. The characters are kind of cartoonish and the acting is kind of second rate and that takes away from the realism.

6.April Morning starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Urich, Chad Lowe, Susan Blakely, Meredith Salenger directed by: Delbert Mann November 28, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.99
This is a decent film that deserves to be re-issued on DVD. While not a big budget opus like infamous Mel Gibson's THE PATRIOT, this is a much higher quality film overall. While a bit slow in the beginning with family relationships in Lexington, the film picks up when the British at last appear on the screen! There is a nice shot of the British columm deploying impressively into line to face Captain Parker's company. The only problem here is that the British force at this point consisited of six companies of Light Infantry who jogged into town at a fast clip before forming line opposite the militia. This would have been less impressive to show, plus i guess the available re-enactors could not all be shown in Light Infantry garb. So we get the usual mix of line companies, Grenadiers and Lights all in group together! ... Read More

7.The Walking Dead starring: Allen Payne, Eddie Griffin, Joe Morton, Vonte Sweet, Roger Floyd directed by: Preston A. Whitmore II September 09, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
I always have to debunk those negative remarks when it comes to military movies. First of all, the U.S. government is not going to allow a true movie to come about any mission. Secondly, the director got the idea from someone who was obviously involved in this situation so don't blame them, blame the person who told it. Black Hawk Down contained fallacies itself. Don't believe me? The next time you watch a "military" movie, watch it with a servicemember: They will find something wrong. ACTUAL REPRESENTATION IS NOT ALLOWED. I enjoyed this movie immensely: The actors work well together and it imparts the idea that everyone has a reason for joining the military. It is interesting and I am happy to have it as part of my movie collection.

8.Braveheart starring: Alun Armstrong, Stephen Billington, Mhairi Calvey, James Cosmo, Brian Cox August 27, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Notwithstanding historical inaccuracies (and there are many), this was great entertainment. I usually watch a DVD at home over the course of 2-3 nights, but I could not turn this one off, and watched the whole thing (nearly 3 hours) in one sitting. Such a great story and wonderful acting, scenery, etc.

9.WarGames starring: Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, John Wood, Dabney Coleman, Barry Corbin directed by: John Badham August 13, 1996

An older movie starring a young Matthew Broderick. A boy decides to get into a hidden spot on the computer and taps into the military computers. When he starts to play this game, the computer thinks it is real.
