What are some good war movie ideas which you guys reckon could've been made thruout the last decade or so, but weren't or haven't been yet ?
I reckon, for starters:
173rd Airborne Bde in Vietnam from 1965
Delta Force from inception onwards (possibly based on INSIDE DELTA FORCE)
[these 1st 2 are probably better as series a la BAND OF BROTHERS]
8th TFW 'Wolfpack' in VN + biographical story of Col Chappie James (similar to Carl Brashear's story portrayed in MEN OF HONOUR)
B52 crews' story during VW- esp during Op LINEBACKER (good current book to base movie on- THE 11 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS)
369th Inf Regt 'Harlem Hellfighters' on Western Front as outstanding African-American regt of WWI
92nd Div in Italy during WWII- a good movie to be made on this particular context is MIRACLE AT ST ANNA by James McBride
761st Tank Bn 'Black Panthers'- story of fighting their way thru France into Germany 1944-45 as part of Patton's 3rd Army
1st Marine Div's fighting retreat from Chosin reservoir Christmas 1950 (anybody read MARCH TO GLORY by Robert Leckie ?)
Op ACID GAMBIT Dec 1989 Panama by SOCOM to rescue captured American spy Kurt Muse from Modelo Prison
US Marines deployed as MNF peacekeepers to Beirut 1983 (based on Dale Dye's OUTRAGE)
What would you guys reckon would've been the impact of such war movies had they been made within the last 10 yrs ?
