They are going to be making a hell of a lot of war movies now that technology can create large scale battles realistically.  I think the best are yet to come.  BlackHawk down will be one of them along with Saving Private Ryan. But if Vietnam is the setting. Then FMJ and Platoon, and PLATOON Leader.

HI,

I agree with Kuiper 100% on the documentary 'Dear America- Letters home from Vietnam'.

I taped it in 1989 and watched it numerous times. This documentary grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go! The accurate choice of music makes it even more impressive. Especially the part with 'Gimme Shelter' by the Stones (one of the best rocksongs ever, imho) gave me chills.

BTW, this film/docu won the Golden Palm in Cannes in 1988 or 1989 for best film. I recommend everyone to watch it!

I think I'l dig up the tape (I hope thay ever release it on DVD) and watch it again tonight. But the tape is not what it used to be after 12 odd years (crappy analog tape, that's what I hate about video)

And Kuiper, how are you doing these days? I read about your relationship here and want to say I'm sorry about that man. I hope you hang in there.

Cheers,

Hanging in there allright RG, thing are getting back on track again.

Agree on Dear Americ to be released on DVD, it would be a musthave.
