Platoon was the last antiAmerican movie to be a big hit at the box office. And that was in part because it was not promoted as antiwar movie but as a realistic view of VietNam. And the cinemotography was excellent and the acting was quite good. But Hollywood keeps trotting out this antiAmerican slop and expects the great unwashed out there to keep running. Casualties of War was a DePalma flop, Rendition was a flop, Lams for Lions has flopped, The Valley of Elah has flopped and so many others. The Spielberg moral equivalency movie “Munich” flopped. The George Clooney leftist movie “Syriana” flopped.Yet the Hollywood screenwriters and directors keep thinking that you
can make movies depicting the US army or the armies of countries allied with the US as barbaric and the masses will learn to like it.

In the same vein, Das Boot was a very good flick. As a former “bubblehead,” it did give me some chills.

Statistically, the worst terrorism attacks in the world to occur since 9/11 have been committed by Islamists. So, how is it now considered unreasonable that art might actually reflect reality, regarding islamist terrorism?

Easy to answer in an abbreviation: C.A.I.R.

Hollyweird is very afraid to accurately depict what religion supports such hatred. If they did that, the “rop” could come after them.

It's one thing for Hollywood execs and libtard actors (read: Film Actors Guild a la Team America) to presume that most Americans are so stupid they can't comprehend reality without help from a pack of overpaid cocaine freaks. It's quite another thing for them to suppose that we are so stupid that we would willingly pay $10 to feel ashamed of ourselves and our country. These latest box office bombs aren't merely an expression to which I take exception, they're an insult of the most vile kind.

I can’t watch movies made by someone who hates my world. Having been burned a few times I refuse to be force fed by a bunch of rich pampered self loathing wimps.

Some great movies worth paying to see that show up on cable for free:
Pork Chop Hill (Gregory Peck)
Tora, Tora, Tora
Midway
The Bridge at Toko-Ri
Retreat, Hell
Dawn Patrol (Errol Flynn)

Anything by John Wayne including his Indian wars movies like Fort Apache and The Alamo

Drums Along the Mohawk (Indian wars)

Fantasy war movie Red Dawn feeds my soul

You know, if half the hollywooders who threatened to leave if GWB was elected actually moved out… it would make me happy.

These movies are a great reminder that a fanatic is not only someone who never changes their mind and never changes the subject, but is horribly confused when everyone else *stays* *away*.

The poor returns do not augur well for more war films due for release in North America later this month.

What war films?

Let’s be clear on this, they are anti-war films.

sounds like Hollywood went “a bridge too far” good movie but a warning that was unheeded by the left.

Another great movie was Iron Cross showed from the german side of things.

Note to Hollywood. You can make great movies that has an antiwar message but is not in your face anti-american.

The two I mentioned are great examples, saving private ryan was also an okay example.

Now I’m dying to watch war flicks. It’s no surprise that the movies are flops, but it’s still a relief to see it happen. The way the Left has incrementally brought us this far down has me worried about these things. Nice to see that most people (however slight that majority) see right through it.

Why Hollywood War Movies Are KIA…

These anti-war movies don’t bomb because the Iraq war is unpopular, but because most Americans can spot enemy propaganda. Most Americans are patriotic. Movies that do nothing to inspire but instead demoralize, tarnish the reputations of soldiers and ….

I want Patton then give me the guy he kicked. Go figure. I want John Wayne they give me mister feelings. Go figure.
I want movies that say My country is good, does good, and frees people they give me movies that say My country sucks, does bad things and I’m a puppet of the evil Empire. Go figure

They want my money, I don’t give it to them anymore. Go figure.

I beg to differ with the reader who thinks movies like 300 are only for men.

Maybe most women don’t like these movies, but I assure there are plenty of us out there who love them. Count on at least three – my daughters and me – who do not like “girly” movies and much prefer movies with action, honor, duty and true love.

[...] In fact, I don’t think many people are going to see it if the reviews, even from lefty publications, are right about it. The Village Voice’s reviewer says: “What can I tell you? The movie is awful.” Which makes it the best of all the recent anti-war flicks. [...]

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Limerick,

Your courage humbles me. If there is a God in heaven, any young man raised by you two will come through just fine. Thanks.
