>>>To add to the list. Tailor of Panama is not bad if you like intrigue and are interested in Panana. Otherwise it is a touch slow.

>>Another one to add. Tigerland is a great war movie. Done in 16mm with hand-held cameras. Set is a military basis training camping during the Vietnam war. Cool to look at and facinating interaction between the characters. The movie, though release in 2000, didn't make into wide release and even many critics missed it. It was just released on video this week to much fanfare. Fans of "84 Charlie Mopic" will like this.

>Pearl Harbor is a competent entertaining movie, despite being panned by the critics. It would have been a better movie if it had ended as a tragedy. Special effects were very good, worth seeing the movie for. Pearl Harbor is not in the league of Saving Private Ryan.

Thank goodness it's not! I did not breath for the first 20 min of PR.
I agree Pearl was good, my wife would say it did end as a tragedy. XF were very good. The movie gave me the sense of confusion and arrogance the US had without making anyone person look responsible. It carried the enormous loss of life with out the slow motion 50 cals ripping thur bodies.

From what I've read the knock on the movie is the love story is too Hollywood and the buddy thing is just to far fetched. Well I'm sorry, but if you want just a documentory, those are already around by the can full. It is Hollywood and it is to far fetched, but I did not think they were making a Doc and did not beleive everything I saw was a fact of history.

Might go see it again.
