worst war filum

[not-bono-ever]

fuckin hell, Navy Seals is on at the minute - has there ever been a worst war type filum ?

It really is a criminal act that Navy Seals. and the sound rack is shit also.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Aces:Iron Eagle III kind of let down the previous two masterpieces.

 

[DexterTCN]

Black Hawk Down, Green Berets...

The list never ends

 

[rekil]

The Spike Lee one or the new Stalingrad one. Trash.

 

[Corax]

I know it's alien war, but it's still war - Independence Day. Saw it in the cinema with a gf and was bored to fucking tears. A product of that period where directors had just discovered CGI and thought that's all they needed.

 

[Casually Red]

The Green Berets, such a depressing load of old shite . Annoys me too that John Wayne was in it. Because I loved him in true grit, the searchers and the like . But he was a bit of a wanker, to be fair .

I know it's alien war, but it's still war -.

If alien war counts, I'd say Starship Troopers 2

 

[Dr_Herbz]

Age of Heroes... another of Danny Dyer's underwhelming roles.

 

[Ming]

Who Dares Wins. Violent CND supporters neutralised by our heroes in black.

though Starship troopers 3 is good.

though Starship troopers 3 is good.

Don't think I've ever seen it.

"For Whom The Bells Tolls" (Paolo Solvay/"Luigi Batzella", 1970) - utterly incoherent and nigh-on unbearable war effort from the "famed" Italo hack director himself. You'd think that a "Nazis vs Partisans" film would be top-notch partisans-booting-the-fash-all-over-the-shop affair? Wrong! Your viewing experience on this one will have you screaming at the TV "Why don't both sides just sod off!" in due course, and wishing that the Red Army would turn up and end the agonisingly dull nonsense contained within (and at least show the "partisans" in this idiot-fest how to really kick Nazi bottom).

Huge chunks of footage from this one were shoehorned into a later Solvay film, the utterly despicable "The Beast In Heat"...

Don't think I've ever seen it.

If you saw the humor in the first one you might like it. The bloke singing the song is the sky Marshall the
boss of the federation it's that mad.

It is a terrible film on all levels

Who Dares Wins. Violent CND supporters neutralised by our heroes in black.

A glorious movie

rambo 3

Which is now almost a comedy

 

[ruffneck23]

I remember going to the cinema to see it and commenting on how fucking shit it was even then

 

[likesfish]

The thin red line


The fucking hurt locker

I liked it when i was younger. Very exciting. But when you look at its message it's well dodgy.

They made navy seals 2 and 3

Heard a critisism of GI jame from an anarchist "that if it had been a proper feminist film demi moore would have been allowed to slit the throat of the sentry rather than the sentry being killed by her sgt who was as sniper"
I think claiming who dares wins had a message is pushing it frankly

 

[Ming]

It's a film of its time. The enemy within, mad dangerous lefties and the comforting order of the people who know best. And shooting the afore mentioned (while fast roping from helicopters in gas masks).

 

[eatmorecheese]

This has to be the worst. Truly terrible and thus hilarious...

Lewis Collins pouting "I want to take you to behhhhhd"

 

[MikeMcc]

Just about any war film is awful, but then I'm a nit-picky bastard... 'they didn't have that kit then... yadda yadda'. One of the best was Cross of Iron with James Coburn. It was a bit OTT, but at least the kit and clothing was remotely accurate.

 

[dylanredefined]

The thin red line


The fucking hurt locker

The thin red line is very good and very very long.

The hurt locker has a great opening and then gets progressively madder.

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Thin Red Line.

The thin red line

yeah my impression of both is that they were full of whiny cunts. Like most Vietnam films come to think of it. I watch war films for the killing, not the handwringing.

 

[Gromit]

Another vote for Thin Red Line.

Basically a load of Oscar hungry actors got together with a Oscar hungry director and created a film that begs 'please please please pwleeeeease give us an Oscar' for 18 hours (or however long it was, seemed like an eternity).

Look I'm a shallow Hollywood but I can do profound hoooonest! Throw a shit load on contrived clichéd shit at the screen.

The Thin Red Line is in Oscar terms that guy in the pub with no friends as his desperate over-friendliness / wanting to be liked is nauseating.

The Foot Locker however was stone cold brilliant. Loved it.

 

[zoooo]

I must admit, I love GI Jane.

 

[Bakunin]

The Wild Geese is about as un-PC as it gets. It also has the most delightful Regimental Sergeant Major in cinematic history:
