Should there be more films about the gulf war?
The whole thing seems like it has incredible cinematic potential that hasn't been tapped into yet. Imagine a scene like pic related with Pearl Jam blasting in the background

I'd rather see something about the seven day war. Like from an Egyptian or Syrian soldier's perspective at the start and then how it just collapses so fast.

1.3/10 You tried.

>tfw no movie about the Battle of Medina Ridge from the Iraqi perspective
>>63552734
>Montage of conflicts throughout the 90's leading up to the Gulf war set to "The Day I tried to Live" as the opening credits.
Watch the rolling heads/10 would fund it.
Jarhead is about the gulf war, and it's really the only film they needed to make about it, really.
It was an incredibly overhyped and overstocked conflict that was short and uneventful and fought by a bunch of frustrated Gen X dropouts who were looking for their own Vietnam experience. Jarhead conveyed those sentiments perfectly.
The flaming oil wells and their absurd amount of smoke are cool to look at but that subject already has two very good documentaries, one by Herzog and one shot exlusively on IMAX. There really isn't much more to see

If overthrowing a weak government that holds a weak at best association with your enemy and in the process making your enemy 1000x stronger, is a victory then sure. murrika won.
If eternal war is the victory, then yeah the industrial military complex won.
If defeating "du terrerosts" was the goal, murrika lost hard. and it looks like the French are your only allies in this so ... I don't know, tuck your murrikan tail between your legs and run.

It's like you don't even want Outer Heaven, Anon. I'm going to have to let the boss know.

I would watch 90 minutes of the Highway of Death getting bombed alone...

Three Kings was decent
>>63552699
It was an air war, mainly. And unfortunately the odds of Hollywood making a decent aviation movie is about zero. It would end up being all shitty CGI with retardedly fast editing, and pilots shouting memes at each other.
>>63552699
I bet there's a lot of iraqis making them right now.
>>63552699
Iraq Iran war would more exciting for a desert warfare film. I heard that conflict was treated alot more similarly to the First World War, with lots of trenches and human wave attacks.
