![]() | To Hell and Back
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.93 This movie is based on the book of the same name. As with many movies based on books, the writers had to compilate events and characters. Stars the most decorated soldier of WW2, Audie Murphy.
Murphy did not want the role originally, but carries it off very well, considering it is his story.

![]() | In the Face of Evil - Reagan's War in Word and Deed
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $15.73 Great documentary about a great man. Ronald Reagan was focused in his life and his words and deeds reflected it.
Great documentary and great historically footage, includes speeches section.
|
![]() | The Green Berets
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $3.68 John Wayne went to Viet Nam. He learned about the Special Forces before he starred in this movie.
I have seen the word "hokey" used in a review. I would beg to differ. the time it was filmed and the accuracy of the message and situation are most important and it should be viewed from said perspective.

![]() | Biography - Audie Murphy: Great American Hero
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $4.37 A wonderful companion to the book and movie "To Hell and Back".
|
![]() | The Wild Geese (30th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.95 Not the best movie, but it gives an interesting glimpse of the world of covert diplomacy in Africa. Would not consider historically significant, but has an outstanding cast.
|
![]() | Ffolkes
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $10.20 Just a good Roger Moore film. Strangely deals with terrorists interested in money, not world domination. Times have changed.
Great takedown scene at the end.
|
![]() | Who Dares Wins (The Final Option) [Region 2]
Buy used from: $49.98 Wish I could find a copy for this region. The underlying story is sometimes lost to the action, but it shows the truth behind the 'anti-nuke / peace movements' of the eighties.
The influence of foriegn/ soviet money. The movie runs dry at times, but the last 15 minutes is worth the wait.
|
![]() | Billy Jack 35th Anniversary Ultimate Collection (Born Losers/Billy Jack/ Trial of Billy Jack/ Billy Jack Goes to Washington)
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $33.60 Billy Jack is an interesting choice I guess for me. The story intertwines thru the whole series of films and has the whole hippies versus the establishment slant, but there is a message of the need for defending with force sometimes even the rights of pacifists.
The producers may or may not have intended this, bu it is an interesting view point.
|
![]() | The Siege of Firebase Gloria
If you can still get this film you will enjoy it. The film stars R. Lee Ermey and is centered around a firebase during the tet offensive. Violent and does not pull punches on some aspects left out of many films about Viet Nam.
|
![]() | Rules of Engagement [Region 2]
Great film. Depicts politicians and diplomats throwing American service men under the bus to save their own hides or appease foriegn governments.
The story is strangely familiar, but supposedly ficticious. The real thing is continuing today with troops in the war in Iraq.
|
![]() | Black Hawk Down [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $10.54 Tough to watch sometimes. The movie is true and is violent. The story of what happened in Mogadishu should be told over and over, because the enemy gets stronger the more we ignore our history and theirs.
There were two Medals of Honor awarded on that mission and it makes me proud to know we still produce the men brave enoungh to wear the unifoms and fight for this country.
|
![]() | Arlington Road
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.86 Hitchcock in nature, but hauntingly realistic. The movie is loosely based on the Oklahoma City bombing, but it gets an interesting twist.
|
![]() | Uncommon Valor
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $3.08 Great film for the time it was made. The story of a father searching for his POW son.
|
![]() | Enemy at the Gates
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.19 Great film about a Soviet Sniper. Based on real events. Their are other stories of Soviet Snipers you may never see in film, but to research them would be worth your time.
|
![]() | Dogfights: The Complete Series
Buy new: $62.99 / Used from: $53.95 Great CGI and historically accurate. Great for history buffs and airplane fanatics alike.
The shows also include some crucial sea battles and contain interviews with actual participants.
|
![]() | Midway (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $6.23 True story of battle that proved America was up to the challenge in the pacific. Great cast and historical footage.
|
![]() | Breaker Morant
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $13.86 Like "Rules of Engagement", this film covers a period of time in British history in Africa when three men were put on trial for following orders.
Very blatant in accusing the British government of sidestepping justice.
|
![]() | The Final Countdown (2-Disc Limited Special Edition)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $12.98 This is a fantasy film of the 'what if' genre. I love i because I am not a sci-fi fan, but the twist of history and the masterful arguements written into it are amazing.
Their should be a director's cut released, because some missing scenes add to the movies intensity.
The Nimitz goes back in time to December 6, 1941 and has to decide what to do about the Japanese approaching Pearl Harbor.
