Letters from Iwo Jima

This was the better of the two, but both Letters and Flags of Our Fathers were truly good movies. If y'all watch one, watch the other too.

MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Hoosiers & Full Metal Jacket.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I completley failed to mention the musical in my previous post, here are a couple of numbers from what I believe to be one of the best examples of this underused medium of song and dance.

A History of Violence and Eastern Promises are both very good movies and worth a look.

Also Black Hawk Down i think is one of the better war movies to come out over the last few years.

I'm sorry, but the inclusion of Die Hard 2 here means you fail, that film was l-a-c-k-i-n-g.

easily the worst of the four.

In terms of crazy Thai action films,
I'd also add:

Chocolate (autistic girl learns to fight from watching Ong-Bak. No, Really)
Born to Fight (sports stars adapt their skills to fight off a drug lords army of henchmen. Again, no, Really)
meh. Link was dead :(

to be honest I was disappointed by Flags of our Fathers. I'll risk the statement that probably if you're not american, the movie won't do anything for you... I was really expecting a lot since it's directed by Clint Eastwood, and he's the GO TO man for good films really, both as actor and director... such a shame there.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

In no particular order...

Aliens. "It's a bug hunt"

Predator. "If it bleeds...we can kill it!"

Die Hard. "Now I have a machine gun too, ho ho ho."

Shawshank Redemption. "Do you trust your wife?"

Pulp Fiction. "...when I lay my vengeance down on thee!"

I agree. I liked that one, but then I saw the Japanese one, and I was stunned. The first one was still gritty and hard, but the second one was just astonishing!
