Third man

The list goes on and on to be honest. So many films that are good over the years form Powell and Pressburger films upto recent war films. Its just to hard to make a list.

Red Dawn or Aliens.
Ya I loved Red Dawn even though it was so innacurate. Like, why would paratroopers jump onto a school football field? Why not an airfield or military base. Why would you use a RPG on a bunch of teenagers in a truck. Why did they murder the teacher? Was he a conspirator or something. It still was a fun movie though.

First place is easy; Ben Hur. Runner ups would be about a dozen ties, and third place? Forget about it.

I think they shot the teacher (In the beginning) because he was gcausing a distraction?

They landed in the football field to sneek in, and I think they had already begun to drop on the Military targets. (Not sure)

Using my desire to watch a movie over and over again, and the test of "non-clickthrough" (something that will stop me channel-surfing immediately upon recognition to watch, no matter what else is on), I would have to say that only 3 movies currently fit this criteria:

The Hunt For Red October
A Few Good Men
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade


Thanks for asking!
