Mansions of the Lord - PoorOldSpike - 04-13-2007 I heard this on TV being played at Reagans funeral and it blew my socks off - (speakers on) http://compuball.com/av/mansionsofthelord.htm RE: Mansions of the Lord - Copper - 04-13-2007 Nice find Spike... I havent actually watched We Were Soldiers yet although it is lying in my collection. RE: Mansions of the Lord - PoorOldSpike - 04-13-2007 I watched the fim on TV a year ago but can't remember anything about it so it can't have made much of an impression on me, just another Nam movie with nothing special about it apart from the theme tune.. RE: Mansions of the Lord - DevilThomas - 04-13-2007 Just another Nam movie? Lets see....historical, first major battle of American soildiers versus NVA. First use of airmobile forces in combat. 400 American troops against 2 to 4 thousand Viet. troops. 2 CMOH awarded. Just another Nam movie?...not really....excellent combat film!

Yes but all undone by the most hyper cheesy Hollywood ending ever. RE: Mansions of the Lord - Copper - 04-13-2007 LMAO... isnt that always the way though. RE: Mansions of the Lord - RedDevil - 04-13-2007 Would have liked to had them continue on with the story of LZ Albany rather than Hollywooded the ending like they did.. It was a good movie tho RE: Mansions of the Lord - Schwerpunkt - 04-13-2007 Movie was fine. The book was awesome! The first major US Air Assault operation against NVA (as stated above). Great idea and tactics, poor intell...hard fought battle. The story has all the elements of a classic Western Movie a la John Wayne! I was fortunate enough as a young Infantry Lt in the US Army to have one of the last active duty NCO's, who was a veteran of that battle, as an instructor. RE: Mansions of the Lord - DevilThomas - 04-13-2007 yes, the ending was pure fiction...thats Hollywood. RE: Mansions of the Lord - PoorOldSpike - 04-13-2007 |
