War movies

(they are weird.)
Last weekend I was awake sort of early so I went downstairs and looked to see what was on television. I looked through the channel guide and it turned out that on some channel there was a movie about the Vietnam War that I had not seen. Mind you, I have only seen two aside from that one that I only managed to catch the last half hour of. Unsurprisingly, this last half hour part was weird. This movie was called The Deer Hunter and it was from the 70s. I had to go look up what had happened in the earlier parts of the movie since only seeing the last half hour didn't make much sense. The movie had a number of scenes with Russian roulette which was... different. It also contributed to me thinking that it was a strange movie. If someone can show me a movie about the Vietnam War that I don't think is weird, they deserve a prize. Full Metal Jacket was weird. Apocalypse Now was even weirder and it didn't even have the virtue of having (a fat and unsightly) Vincent D'Onofrio in it. Neither did The Deer Hunter for that matter. This may be a futile effort, but I would give the movie Saving Private Ryan a chance even though it is also a war movie. But maybe it isn't weird. I wouldn't know because I haven't watched it yet. It has Tom Hanks in it. 

I decided that I wouldn't watch anymore war movies after I wasted 3 hours watching Apocalypse Now, but it seems that I did not keep that resolution. At least this time it was only a half hour of my time that I spent watching part of a war movie. If/when I watch Saving Private Ryan or perhaps some other war movie, I will be sure to post a review of it.
