Really? I shall check it out

The great raid

saving private ryan the best...

How did Full Metal Jacket 1987 was not listed as war film?

Lightning deal now (Beware is DVD version NOT Blu-ray) :

Save on Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series $109.99 (61% off)

Anyone interested?

Full Metal Jacket is fantastic. You read my mind.

Well, if you are limited to Bluray version only, then you are missing A LOT. Most WW2 Movies and Documentaries are in DVD format (some very old ones are even VHS only)
Try google around for WWII movies then you understand. But dun think all classic movies are goldies..some are not so good or average only.
But if you are a hardcore fan...why not?
But of course, Bluray is the way to go...but no harm watching old war movies with an upscaled DVD.
