(USMC Lance) Vietnam War and Modern films for sure. Just appeal to me. I've seen Platoon, Casualties of War, some of Apocalypse Now, Hamburger Hill, Forrest Gump (Where he is in Vietnam), FMJ, We Were Soldiers, and Tigerland. I want to see The Deer Hunter though.

For modern films: The Hurt Locker, Stop-Loss, Home of the Brave (was garbage), Jarhead, Dear John (too much romantic shit), Battle for Haditha, The Messenger and that's pretty much it. I might have seen more but can't think of any more.

I never really got into WWII stuff. Just never appealed to me like the more modern ones. Didn't seem interested and moved on to the next genre. I've only seen Saving Private Ryan and a little Band of Brothers but that's it.
