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.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
