Im a big Dean Martin fan, so "The Young Lions" has always been one of my favorites. To my surprise, i found an original one sheet of the movie poster at a local Flea Market right before Christmas. Its a great looking poster.

The Young Lions is pretty good. Im a Dean Martin fan too. My middle name is Dean and I got it thanks to my parents being big Martin fans.

 

PS a great and fairly priced source for original posters, lobby cards, stills and such is: www.movieposters.com

I always liked the movie APOCALYPSE NOW just for the cool music and cinimatogphapy

 

the PBR scenes are very well done when they travel up the river looking for Col Kurtz

 

not many Vietnam movies with Brown Water navy scenes

 

I wish they would make more Vietnam movies about the Game Wardens of VN with more PBR's and some Monitor gun boats

I agree, a most popular topic to talk about, it gets restarted from the top every now again, here one that I remember, 7 pages 122 posts.

I agree with so many of these already mentioned, so I won't be redundant. I would, however, like to add three to the list that I haven't seen listed:

 

The Steel Helmet, Fixed Bayonets (both written and directed by WWII 1st Inf. Div. veteran Sam Fuller) and Go For Broke.

 

Best to all -
