pearle harbor was pretty bad. So was "the thin red line". I never cared for "apocalypse now" either. Even though I like john wayne, I'd have to say "green berets" wasn't very good either.

I gotta vote for The Green Berets too, if for no other reason than the closing moments, when the sun sets in the east. (I am not making this up.)

The kid annoys me too.

"Pearl Harbor" was pretty bad but at least it had interesting scenes of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Off the top of my head, I would say that "The Naked And The Dead" was the worst although I should be able to come up with a war flick worse than that.

What? Are you serious? Ignoring Martin Sheen's politics (which is difficult, but not impossible), I love Apocalypse Now. So many cool characters. Duval is great... nothing like the smell of Napalm in the morning. Dennis Hopper as the wacked out reporter. And of course, Brando.

Except for the fact that the sun set in the east at the end of the film, it wasn't all that bad.
