I have no idea why I have this obsession with war movies. Can I add a sixth?

6. Gallipoli. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gallipoli


Why are all these American war movies and not anything from Kangarooasscountry??


number 6, merc?

by the way, the Pogues "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilida" is my favorite Gallipoli work.

Because most movies are made in Hollywood, or by Hollywood. Gallipoli is about the ANZAC story. Are you trying to put down my country? Do you ever have anything positive to say, about anyone, anywhere, anytime? Then you wonder why "little old Mercury" is so attacked, and universally disliked. Like I said to you before - grow up.

Gallipolli was a really good movie. Back when I liked Mel as an actor.
