Cold Mountain and Jarhead are both really good, too. How am I agreeing with Burt so much in a movie thread?

I like all of these movies, too. Assuming, of course, that by "Rambo" you mean "First Blood." If you don't, then I probably don't like whatever Rambo movie you're talking about.

If I'd meant First Blood, I'd have said First Blood. But since First Blood is not a war movie, I didn't mean First Blood.
