Pauly Shore, In The Army Now!

"I shall be adressed as First Sergeant."
"But you're not my first sergeant."

Classic.

 

[grayman]

Not so much a movie, but any Monty Python skit poking fun at the brit army is always good for a smile.

Along the same lines the Zulu War sketch always cracks me up

 

[17thRecceSgt]

yes yes all good choices but what about the other ones, not quite so comical but have absolutely gut-busting parts in them?  Like...the first 20 minutes of Full Metal Jacket with Gny Hartman?  "You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece" or "Did you parents have any children that lived?!?!" when he was tearin' ol Pte Pile a new one?

Or...the lines Clint Eastwood had in Heartbreak Ridge...like when he told the Maj "sir, you're really beginning to bore the hell outta me" after the assault on the hill?

Now those ones killed me...

I am surprised no one mentioned Dr. Strangelove yet.

For those who have not seen it, stop reading this thread and go get it now.

I LOVE that flick!  Peter Sellars as Dr Strangelove, as Mandrake (the RAF exchange officer) and of course the President: did he get an Oscar for that?  I don't know if it would qualify as a political movie or military movie.  Still, I love that line "Gentlemen, please!  There's no fighting in here: this is the war room!"

 

[Danjanou]

Seller is great in it but Slim Pickens as Major Kong the rogue B-52 pilot steals the movie with some of the best lines especially his survival checklist:

[Centurian1985]

"A fellow could have a pretty good time in vegas with this stuff!"

Ha! Another I notice that nobody mentioned is the horrible Delta Force with Charlie Sheen; many unintentional farcical moments!

Nice reminder about the SHARP training videos; it was surprising to see that so many 'soldiers' were still using brylcream!  They hated it when we showed up.  We had people on three different sessions and when they talked about how we shouldnt be prejudiced one of our guys would always start asking questions about people from communist and rogue nation countries.

"What about Russia? is it okay to be prejudiced against them? I mean, this is NORAD, we're here to prevent Russian inbound aircraft attacks..."

Kelly Hero’s is the all time Classic, Just saw some pictures of a diorama someone made of a Sherman with Oddball in it  although I did also enjoy the “Black Adder goes to war” plus a special mention of the Monty python skits on the “First rule of Camouflage”

I can't believe nobody has mentioned any of the blockbuster jems that the world's toughest badass good guy in black has put to film.
I'm talking about Mr Norris in Missining in action Part I and II, not to mention Invasion USA were our hero takes not one, but two shots with the same M-72!
Damn thats cool.
Navy Seals another classic.

Hey Colin you remember acting out those Python skits ad nauseum back at CG when we were teenagers?

 

[Scott]

No, I agree.  The SHARP video on homosexuality with the engineers was an instant classic.  We were about 20 NCO'S and officers, started out giggling like school girls, then when the classic line "Hey, I'm the **British cigarette term**" and the follow up "He can't be a **British cigarette term**, he's an Indian", it was all over.  The civy chick that was giving the class didn't seem too impressed.
Unintended humour is always the best.

20 hungover Highlanders roared at that one too.

My favorite: McHale's Navy.

"We've been up since the crack of noon, sir."

I fart in your general direction and is there actually any cheese in your shop?

Your trip down memory lanes shows that you are pining for the Norwegian fjords  ;D
