Platoon was the first movie to help me understand some of the atrocities committed, on both sides, that sort of, "oh yeah,? well were gonna do this!" that sort of worsening escalation of wartime behavior, and the Vietnamese people, unsure of who exactly were there to help them, amazing film!

lady and the tramp is a wonderful movie, right next to robin hood, the rescuers movies, and the lion king, and zootopia, where it has rather cute moments, especially the adorable spaghetti scene between tramp and lady and all by itself, the spaghteti scene is one of the greatest love scenes in childrens animated movies

4:13 Rambo is about a former soldier with PTSD becoming a drifter, being harassed by police, having torture flashbacks, getting manhunted and breaking down in tears about his friend getting killed right in front of him during the war at the end. There is no "war is fun" about it. He needs to rewatch Rambo.

Platoon is such an incredible film that tackles the rawness and unpleasantries of war that, in some cases, is stomach-wrenching and hard to sit through. We need more war movies that are honest with their audiences. War is not a joy ride. War is hell. And in any war, everyone's a casualty.

1986 was the year Siskel & Ebert started working for Disney. There was concern at the time about conflict of interest. That doesn't mean that their comments on "Lady and the Tramp" aren't sincere. But, if they hadn't been working for Disney, they might not even have commented at all on a re-release of a film that was over 30 years old at the time.

The 'Siskel & Ebert' program was basically a MASTERWORK of evening TV. The other hosts just were NOT as good- by the time Richard Roeper replaced Siskel- it was going downhill. Roeper sort of was a good replacement- but NOBODY was as great as Gene Siskel. Both of the original hosts did eventually die of different types of Cancer. RIP to both of them.

Ebert is wrong about one thing. It didn't take Oliver Stone so long to finally write Platoon. He wrote ten years prior to it being made. So really, it took Hollywood so long to finally make it.
