The Men Who Stare at Goats
The Patriot came out the summer between high school and college for me. Went to see it with a bunch of my buddies. There’s one part where a white guy asks the black slave who’s fighting for his freedom, “and just what do you plan to do with all this freedom?”
My buddy, doing his best impression of Nate Dogg, shouted out “SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY!”
People in the theater laughed.
Here’s my Top 25
1) Inglorious Bastards
2) Fury
3) Last of the Mohicans
4) Saving Private Ryan
5) 1917

The Deer Hunter is probably my favorite, disturbing as it can be to watch. Not so much about the war itself but the toll it takes on those impacted by it.
Rest of the top 5 would probably include Apocalypse Now, Glory, Bridge on the River Kwai, and Saving Private Ryan.
