Two of my favorite Non-Corps Movies are Tora,Tora,Tora and Gettysburg.

When it comes to the Corps Heartbreak Ridge and although it precede current events how about Death Before Dishonor?

How how can anyone in the Corps forget Flying Leathernecks?

[RLeon]

You know everyone scoffs at "Heartbreak Ridge" and rightly so, but dang it, every Jarhead wishes they were Gunnery Sargeant Thomas Highway.

"Be advised, I'm mean nasty and tired. I eat concertina wire and **** napalm and I could put a round through a fleas ass at 300 meters. So why don't you hump somebody else's leg mutt-face before I push yours in."

THE OSCAR WINNER~THAT'S PLAYING IN MY HEAD~AS WE SPEAK RIGHT NOW!!!THE BATTLE OF MEADE RIVER '68 FROM A POINT MAN'S FIELD OF VISION.I/3/26 KILL-ZONE WILL BE COMING TO YOU'R THEATER SOON?

Read down from the top of thread, I was gona put, "The one playing between my ears since 1968" So FF68, all I can do is agree with ya. The brain is indeed a terrible thing, isn't it?

FMJ, hands down!

[kevref]

Shooter was good, but not exactly a war movie

[SkilletsUSMC]

FMJ was the most similar to my personal combat experiences. I actually really like the second half of that movie.

[SlingerDun]

'The 317th Platoon' (1965) French, Indochina. subtitled.

I have not seen 'Field of Fire' (1991) but a couple years ago i heard James Webb was on sight overseas working to turn his novel 'Field(s) of Fire' reccomended Marine Corps, library of congress reading into a movie. I dont know that it ever panned out?

[DWG]

For a study of regiments (of that era) moving from column of march to line of battle, along with great technical attention to detail; "Gunga Din" was a fantastic movie!

Maybe not a super realistic movie like "Kellys' Heroes" though!
