| Favorite Other/Alternate War Movie Ok, so we did, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc. But how about those other movies that show another war or engagment? Some favorites there. I put what ones I could remember but if anybody has some I missed, I'll add. No Civil War - we'll save that for another polll!

| I chose the movie Patriot because I'm interested in the Revolutionary War...and I chose Zulu because I'm interested in all things Africa. I can't wait for the Civil war movie poll!

| Voted for Southern Comfort. Interesting movie. Almost has sorta an Apocalypse Now feel to it, kinda dark and foreboding.

| Didn't know anybody else had even seen "Southern Comfort" - love everything about that movie, classic Walter Hill.

| Sand Pebbles, simply because Steve McQueen is friggin awesome. Period. Rob Roy, because who doesn't love a cynical, honor-bound highlander? The Patriot....not very historically accurate (Gibson's character is a mix of like five different generals, I read somewhere), but still a good flick.

| Sand Pebbles,55 Days of Peking both because they are of a period not well known in this continent and Dr Strangelove is an absolute gas of a movie with classic lines like "gentlemen no fighting in the war room" |

 | Zulu, Zulu Dawn for me, Black Hawk Down is also very good. I can never take Mel Gobson's films too seriously, any historical interest they might hold is usually erased by his attempts to make the English look as evil as possible. That's a shame, because as films in the technical sense, they are great
