    Full Metal Jacket for me as well...followed closely by Saving private Ryan maybe...I'm not a huge fan of the genre.

      THREE KINGS. One of the most successful (and politically relevant) genre-benders I've seen.

                Apocalypse Now

                The beach scene in Private Ryan was excellent. I think that Zulu takes the biscuit, though. Zulu Dawn was pretty good, too.

                  You know I watch APOCALYPSE NOW - twice a year in surround sound.
                  my second choice.

                  Cheers.

                      A good friend of mine, sadly now deceased, was an officer in the regiment on which the Zulu film was based. He watched the film in Wales, with members of his regiment and in the original 2.20:1 aspect ratio.

                      You can imagine the singing.

                              Okay, a flawed masterpiece. Close to a masterpiece.

                              I have to watch it again.
