The Last Boy Scout
Can stand shoulder to shoulder with the original Die Hard, as Bruce Willis's best action movie. Very voilent, foul mouthed and very funny.

The Thin Red Line
This has to be the most beautiful war film ever made. The film is slow in places, but gives the film a hypnotic feel. But the battle scenes are a stark contrast, as all hell breaks loose. This movie has always been over shadowed by the classic Saving Private Ryan, but in many ways is equaly as good.
The film might not suit every bodies taste, but still deserves watching, and maybe one day they might release the intended 4 hour version.

The Boys In Company C
This is a forgotten Vietnam war film, made when America was still licking it's wounds from the conflict. Not the greatest Nam film ever made, but if you like Mash, Catch 22, Three Kings and Jarhead, then you will love this. As usual R.Lee Ermey steals the show as the Drill sgt, a dummy run he would perfect ten years later in Full Metal Jacket.
Well worth watching.
