ON the off chance that I was not counter, I am voting for Glory, of course.

I will vote Agallipoli over GMV, even though I have never seen it, since GMV is not a war movie.

That reminds me to watch Khartoum again. Heston chewing up the scenery as Chinese Gordon? AWESOME.

Not sure Gallipoli will stay on the list (too drawn-out at the start) but sure that GMV doesn't belong, so +1 for Gallipoli.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I vote Gallipoli.  G 3, GM 0.

In future the nomination counts as one vote for the challenger.

Not a war movie.
:lol:

A couple problematic scenes but overall pretty good.

Last of the Mohicans is probably on my top-10 overall, actually. I love that movie.
No kidding.  When Chingachgook slaughters Magua, that's solid gold.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
