In reverse preference...
Can't watch anything abut WWII. My dad had it bad in those years and he came back with a humongous case of what would now be called PTSD.
He was obsessed with anything related to that.
In general, I don't like warmovies unless they are comedies.
The Green Mile is always good. Pulp fiction, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels and erm... blush... lately I watch a lot of chickflicks. going all feminine at my old age whahahaha. It's an escapism and a good one at that.

Das Boot
All spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Taking Chase
War movies are what they are. I will watch most once then move on. I know Anthony Swafford from Jarhead. (He wrote the book) My unit was camped about 1 mile from his. His book was spot on for what a lot of Marines did during shield/storm. I was lucky, I got to go on active patrols a lot and that reduced the time I spent sitting in a camp.
There is always a lack of info and just figuring things out as they happen. The movie was maybe 50% accurate. Still, a good story overall.
Documentaries are my big thing. I like to learn and I like to hear different views from my own. It helps me shape how I see things. It can even change my mind on some politics.

I watch films all the time, superman man of steel and monuments men have been pretty good for me this year. There's so many I have to watch and catch up with.
Das boot is brilliant, I still can't even imagine living it, and I too watch allot of documentaries. Genghis Kahn is a recent one, what a bloke.

Interesting. Never figured I wasn't the only one who had a hard time watching war movies.
Since my dad was OTT obsessed with anything WWII and we sat through tons of movies and were made to read books.
The man was opening that wound day by day and numbing himself at the same time with other means.
Thought it to be deviant a bit to avoid them as they are major triggers.
Oh yes, romcoms. Kinda embarrassing really but it's nice to see funny stuff where people are also nice to eachother.

Its kind of sick but I watch them to remember things. Not the combat as most movies don't come close to what combat is like. Its more the brotherhood. The feeling of being badassed. vicarious movie watching.

I got my first pedicure in the USMC! With a bunch of the recon boys. I figured it was a prank... But nope. "You ever want anyone sucking on your toes ever again? Do this shit. Besides it feels good."
Standing weekly apt.
