While I thought all of these were good (except for Apocolypse Now) I think Platoon was brilliant and one of the BEST War Movies out there ever.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Yes, Hamburger Hill was not a bad movie. Based on a true story I think as well....I forgot about that one.Ricky said:Not saying it was the best, but also Hamburger Hill was a Vietnam movie.
I liked platoon. Funny you posted this I read about Apocalypse Now on wiki yesterday. Martin Sheen almost had a heart attack during it, and he was really struggling with alcohol at the time.

Jariel said:Platoon is not just the best Vietnam move, but one of the best movies I've seen. Really sobering stuff.
Casualties of War was also incredible too, and equally disturbing and objective.
They really put heroic all-American propaganda movies like Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbour into perspective.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Born on the 4th of July was a good movie (I read the book) but the majority of the story DOES NOT take place in Vietnam, so it does not count.KneghtRyder said:you left out the best one i think : born on the fourth of july with tom cruise ..
it won like 10 oscars.
KontrollerX said:Platoon out of that list but I'd say its tied with Born on the Fourth of July.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I saw Apocalypse now once and I thought it was way too wierd and not realistic. However, maybe cult like stuff really did go on like that.Skel said:Most movie critics agree that Apocalypse Now is the best wartime movie ever. I'm not saying I agree with them. I personally love platoon and full metal jacket the most.
Tigerland was such a letdown... I was fiending for a war movie at the time, and saw the cover. I didn't expect to get a chick-like drama flick.e-lie said:See the movie tigerland it was a bomb ih the early 90's but it is an awesome flick check it out:0
Best DVD buy ever though. I paid $5.99 for Tigerland at Target and the movie is pretty good.BluEyes said:Tigerland was such a letdown... I was fiending for a war movie at the time, and saw the cover. I didn't expect to get a chick-like drama flick.
