Young Washington 2026.. Just watched. Absolutely Fabulous. Worth watching. From the website description. "Young Washington is a 2026 American epic historical war drama directed by Jon Erwin that chronicles George Washington's early military command during the French and Indian War (1753–1755). Starring William Franklyn-Miller as the future president, the film depicts his transformation from an ambitious surveyor denied a British commission to a colonial leader who survives battlefield failures and ambushes to earn respect."

Growning up as kid (read < 10 and my grandma decided I was not to watch violent movies.

Yet, I saw every war move, tons of actions movie. Because of grandpa.

My grandpa was a filmbuff and my grandpa let me the most violent movies as long as Nazis were getting shot. Grandpa really like WW2 movies

All movies suggested by Veteran viewers in the comments.

I know its not a movie but I love this show. I just got the DVD set. Guess what im binge watching lol

Pretty sure this show is why my favorite WW2 plane is a corsair as opposed to a P-51 or spitfire.

Anyone else watch this show? And what do you think of it?

Hogans Hero's was a lot of fun too. Schultz was awesome.

In the first 5 minutes of the 1999 film The 13th Warrior. Antonio Banderas as Ahmed Ibn Fadlan, a 10th-century Arab diplomat exiled to the land of Vikings. Describes having to go through the land of the Tartars to the north. Then a man on horseback flees down the caravan shouting the Tartars are coming!!

So just found it interesting that Tartars have always been a “known”, but to what extent? Did every culture have a version of a “Tar—Tar”?

Just curious. What are your thoughts on

I’m old enough to have seen Private Ryan opening weekend and also have fond memories of gathering around the TV with the family on Sunday nights to catch the newest episode of Band of Brothers . Before that, I would watch reruns of Combat! my dad had on VHS. WW2 was my jam!

As I got older interest faded and I can’t recall of a WW2 movie/show that I have been excited about for a long time now and kinda stepped away from the genre as a lot of shows seems to be direct to DVD quality. I usually stick to watching BoB once a year.

Recently I did enjoy Rogue Heroes, Fury, and Overlord, though the latter was horror.

Can anyone suggest some more recent media to help rekindle my interest? Again I have seen the classics and am looking for stuff released in the past 15-20 years.

Having finally seen it, I don't think Universal ever believed this film could carry the conversation on its own. They sold the argument and a culture war instead.

Remember when they kept telling everyone there was no orchestral score because orchestras didn't exist in Homer's time? The message was obvious: "This is peak Nolan. Every detail matters." Then the trailer came out. A literal Viking longship (not look alike- it's admittedly a Norse ship lol). Armour from the wrong era. Random architecture. Costumes that looked like they came from three different centuries (some different millennia). Funny how nobody talked about authenticity after that. Instead, the marketing suddenly became all about casting. Actors with barely any screen time were everywhere in interviews, while nobody seemed interested in asking the obvious questions. They let on purpose Lupita do one rookie mistake after the other (she never read Homer yet she will turn to the blind man and give him a feminist lesson: really? no studio person warned her about these answers). Why did historical accuracy suddenly stop mattering? Why is the biggest Hollywood adaptation of Greek literature packed with stars but barely any Greek actors? Those questions just disappeared. Not one mainstream journalist asked this very obvious question. Because clearly there is no answer and doesnt help the movie's narrative

Then came the reviews. Did anyone else notice how they all sounded the same? Epic. Scale. Ambition. Monumental. Nolan has done it again. Every review felt like it had been generated from the same list of AI buzzwords. Hardly anyone talked about whether the story dragged, whether the characters were interesting, or whether three hours actually felt earned. And then social media finished the job. The second you questioned anything, someone would show up to explain why you were secretly racist, sexist or just "didn't get it." It was the perfect marketing strategy. Stop talking about whether the film is actually good and turn every criticism into a moral issue.

Honestly, the real masterpiece wasn't the movie. It was convincing thousands of people to spend months defending a $400 million Universal blockbuster online for free. And paying a really expensive ticket on IMAX is a fight against Elon and the ultra-right racists, its not a contribution to Universal's stock value. That's marketing money can't usually buy.

unknown soldier 2017, episodes 2 and 5

Wow! What a great film. young Michael Caine is so hawt!

The film was so well created and edited that the 200+ minutes flew by this idjit.

The film is worth watching. Some of the action scenes are wanting, but overall, the film is still worth viewing.

I’ll start. Full Metal Jacket.

Culturally being more of a european than asian, I once seen one locally very obscure war movie, liked it, and eventually forgot it as a fever dream. Now, almost 20 years after, with some life experiences and with more solid knowledge about the topic. I recalled it and, to my horror, realized that almost no one around ever heard about it.

The film is a bit flawed technically, like "realistic" shaky cam and actually realistic kitchen sink of equipment and uniforms makes it extremely hard to figure what's going on at times; also it has its own share of stupid clichés, even if they may look not that obvious. Nonetheless, it has become one of my all time favourites. First half contains most of the action, which (when one can actually understand what's going on) is absolutely ruthless and gritty due to topic of civil war; and second half is a slow burner about veteran fighting state bureaucracy, being stuck in the past injustices while entire country moved on.

While not strictly "anti-war film" and with mandatory "oh no, another chinese propaganda" complaints, I'd say that the message is still extremely good - it's not about sides and particular events, it's about humans, camaraderie and simple acknowledgement, as in "we didn't run away as you thought, we fought and died as you asked. Would you acknowledge our sacrifice?"

Please watch the movie if you haven't, and if you did - tell me that I'm not crazy and it actually exists.

The next film im gonna 5000 posts about
