re: What are your favorite war movies?

The Patriot is a clear guilty pleasure of mine. Sure it's absolutely ridiculous and over-the-top, but when viewed as a comedy, it's pretty incredible.

Take the funniest scene in the film, when a white Sout Carolina plantation owner says he's proud to fight alongside a black slave. You know, South Carolina, the first state to secede from the union. Just about brought me to tears.
