At first, I was renting less and less videos because the quality of contemporary movies stinks. But over the past 4 years, I just decided "screw 'em", they're not getting any more of my money.

We are at war, and if Hollywood can't make a few movies that cater to the majority of Americans who think that Islamic extremism poses a grave threat to our security, then I'm not interested in anything else these liberal writers, directors and actors have to offer.

There were tons of patriotic WWII movies. So if today's Hollywood moguls think that those old war movies were something that we should either laugh at or be ashamed of, and that the only credible war movies are the ones that are directed by the likes of Oliver Stone or Steven Spielberg, which trash our military, they need to have Middle America give them the middle finger.

Let the big city pseudo intellectuals keep them in business.

Most of which s-cked and WERE laughable! The same can be said of many more recent war films however (Born on the Fourth of July comes to mind).

The best war films are either not directly about war (ie Apocalypse Now) or those that don't hide the grittier aspects of war while not making knee jerk statements either way (We Were Soldiers comes to mind). Those WWII movies with the Andrews Sisters or John Wayne had laughable scripts and were as believable as the Wizard of Oz.
