I think they even used to show it on the TNT channel (remember TNT?) Ditto with TGON. The Pacific - I don't watch TV, so I guess I'll have to download the thing.<br />Zombie flicks... ugghh... ka thaw ti ipik thei ras mai ka en ve chuan. I'd rather watch vampire flicks, although I'm sick and tired of the Twilight series and Team this and Team that,because of which I haven't even read the books. It's a good read, so they say. <br /><br /><br />Kuku - Thanks for the songs. I haven't seen Tour of Duty, again because I don't watch TV much. It looks interesting.<br /><br /><br />Mos-a - The movie you're talking about is In Love and War, again I haven't seen it, haven't read the book either. My list of movies-not-seen and books-not-read grows longer. Thanks for the songs.<br />Nia Doctor Doris-i hi maw keipawh a blog ah hian min sawm bik lo.<br /><br /><br />Varte - Kan inang vel nih chu, ka en chhun hi chu hmuhnawm ka ti fu zel keipawh.

It is semi autobiographical. It was also made into a movie starring Sandra Bullock and I was the only one (I think) who watched it when it came to a theater in Madras back in 97 :D. However it was only loosely based on the novel. Great Novel. Decent Movie (which usually is the case). <br /><br />Good war songs? <br />Springsteen's Born in the Usa (anti war song but still..)<br /><br />CCR's Fortunate Son (Anti Vietnam song)<br /><br />Ka hre mai lo a dang chu.Mos-ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894774918769116994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003789140418467794.post-75767798140115914132010-06-09T18:48:02.730+05:302010-06-09T18:48:02.730+05:30War songs, ihhh..

How could you not watch Bridge on the river Kwai yet? It was a RAVE in Mizoram back in the 80s. Saw it so many times with my cousins and uncles. :) <br /><br />The guns of Navarone is another classic you should definitely include in your list of war movies to watch :) A classic non-WWII movie I used to love is North and South, about the American Civil war. Its actually a TV mini series, and we used to rent them from "Video Link" in the early 90s. :D<br /><br />Also, don't miss "The Pacific", made by the same people who gave us "Band of Brothers". Its a limited series and currently running on TV (AXN I think)<br /><br />Yes there is something romantic about war. Havent read Gone with the Wind but saw the video many times. Its beautiful. Tolstoy would be another great example of a War based love story writer.<br /><br />Speaking of Greenday, you must watch the music video of "Wake me up, when September ends", not the music channel version, but the entire original version, with all the dialogues etc. Very touching indeed.<br /><br />ok I dont think I am going to stop, now that you have touched my favorite movie genre (this and zombie flicks). So I will force myself to stop writing now :)Mizohicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644240783333879705noreply@blogger.com
