consider grease as the reason for the existence of John Travolta as an actor. he made stupid songs before that…





well i wanna bring up another aspect of “top ten” lists.

my question is:

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ANTI-WAR MOVIES?

anti-war, that means, no action movies, no comedies, no guys-on-a-mission stuff, no “behind enemy lines” or “rambo”.



mine are (no particular order):


  • The Thin Red Line (Malick’s great epic)


  • We Were Soldiers (the best anti-war movie out of the recent years.)


  • Dead Presidents (the only movie that REALLY puts the misery of Blacks in the Vietnam war into focus. A great movie by the Hughes Brothers).


  • Apocalypse Now (Redux) (Coppola’s masterpiece. it’s message: war is WEIRD)


  • Platoon (because Stone’s trip to Vietnam shows us the simple GI’s point of view, starting with ants under the clothes up till ferocity and murder)


  • Stalingrad (simply the BEST anti-war movie EVER. No movie is so realistic. Besides, it’s german, and made by germans and russians, realistic as hell, cruel, exact, historically correct, no heroes, nothing. just the horror that was WW2. watch that and fucking forget Saving Private Ryan)


  • several more… Full Metal Jacket is not on that list due to personal dislike of stanley kubrick’s intention of not giving us widescreen on dvd.


  • Saving Private Ryan (for some really good arguments, but it’s on the end of my list, because it’s too much Hollywood for me)

Travolta had his biggest hit in 1977 with Saturday Night Fever. Grease came out in 1978.



I really dont think theres such a thing as “ANTI-WAR” movies. All war films show the excitement and adventure of being in war, regardless of the overall “anti-war” message.



For some, Saving Private Ryan might be an exciting turn on that makes them want to go into the Army, Navy or Marines.

18

I think Born on the Fourth of July is definitely one of the best ones. I like it much better than Platoon.

19
