Hell in the Pacific? LOL
That was the fuckin weirdest movie in the world. It was hard to really comprehend the meaning behind the film when I first saw it, but it's definitely a lot deeper than originally thought. Plus, Lee Marvin...
Dust to Glory is a great film. I love that guy and his extreme sport documentaries. Isn't he the guy who did the Endless Summer films too?

This post of mine is incredibly overdue, but I've been mentally compiling this list since the subject was brought up, so here goes:
Saving Private Ryan Band of Brothers (I'll count it as a film because I once watched all episodes back to back when I had mono) Goodfellas The Departed Snatch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels There Will Be Blood Apocalypse Now Superbad 28 Days Later Dawn of the Dead ('04 version, sorry Duke) Tears of the Sun Office Space In Bruges Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Spaceballs Robin Hood: Men in Tights Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay Hot Fuzz Shawn of the Dead Jarhead The Matrix (#1, not the opera-tinged, overly-deep but not entertaining second and third movies) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Star Wars (Ep. 4-6, not the shit new ones) Black Hawk Down The Hunted Collateral (Made me actually like Tom Cruise) Mission Impossibles 1 + 2 (Before I hated Tom Cruise) Tropic Thunder (Made me think Tom Cruise is actually capable of humor) Hot Shots Hot Shots, Part Deux Scary Movie (the first one) American Pie (the first and second ones, American Wedding not so much) We Were Soldiers Hamburger Hill Full Metal Jacket Jurassic Park The Lost World Kung Fu Hustle Legend of the Drunken Master Jackie Chan's First Strike Operation Condor Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon The Last Samurai (Another Tom Cruise movie I don't hate) Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen Fight Club The Bank Job Generation Kill (The Miniseries, basically a movie split into 7 parts)
I'm going to stop there because this list is getting ridiculous and I need to go to class, but that gives you a basic cross section of my taste in movies. Look them up if you haven't seen them, they're all pretty good!

Was browsing for a few quotes from this movie (Dr. Strangelove), and couldn't help but chuckle a few times at the hilarity of that movie.
A must see as one of the if not the greatest satire comedy film of all time.
In this scene, the President is discussing his options with his advisors after an insane, rogue general sent a bomber force to nuke Russia in a preimptive attack.
Linebacker40 playing as George C. Scott.
