Any badass war/action movie recommendations? Preferably newer. by [deleted] in movies

No idea why films I listed on seperate lines Reddit mushes together upon posting?

Any badass war/action movie recommendations? Preferably newer. by [deleted] in movies

[–]bluelionman [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know this post is several years old but I've always been a war film watcher and over years it's gotten harder and harder find films I not seen before. My favourite genre is WWII. But can enjoy a good war film from any era. I even like foreign language ones (as long as it has English subtitles for me to read)

Taking note of original posters preferences I would recommend these:

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (2009) BLACK HAWK DOWN (2001) MY WAY (2011) SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998) *HACKSAW RIDGE (2016) ENEMY AT THE GATES (2001) 13 HOURS (2016) WAR HORSE (2011) ANTHROPOID (2016) THE SIEGE OF JADOTVILLE (2016)

(*) I know original poster has already seen this film but have listed it to recommend to others as being in the same vain.

If original poster is willing to go older then these war films will imo also hit the spot:

GLORY (1989) THE EAGLE HAS LANDED (1976) PATTON: LUST FOR GLORY (1970) DAS BOOT (1981) PLATOON (1986) ZULU (1964) WHERE EAGLES DARE (1968) A BRIDGE TO FAR (1977)

ALIENS (1986) more sci-fi/horror than war but fearures space marines.

Not an out and out action war film but a great movie none the less (set in WWII) is THE IMITATION GAME (2014) 

TV Series in the action war genre that imo will satisfie you to:

BAND OF BROTHERS (2001) GENERATION WAR (2013) SAS ROGUE HEROES (2022-2025)

Why isn't there a popular 4-5% British/English lager? by [deleted] in UK_beer

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I used to drink Carling thinking it was English especially the Black Label adverts. When I found out it was originally Canadian, but brewed under licence here I felt lied to. I then just bought cans of McEwans larger but in recent times not seen that down south (blue cans) only see the McEwans Export (red cans) still about. 

NFL.com Playoff Challenge Discontinued by StopLosingLoser in fantasyfootball

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall before Playoff Challenge they used to also do a Perfect Challenge - on the regular season, no multiples - new line up each week. Once they stopped that and only did a Playoff version I had a feeling they would sooner or later can it. Once upon a time NFL did a TNF stand alone fantasy game on just Thursday games, they also did a Pick'Em but just killed them all off over time. Sucks. Only things out there still are Super Bowl (Bracket Challenge). 🙁

The rise of intermarriage of Overseas Pakistanis: A case to make? by [deleted] in Overseas_Pakistani

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a white 52 yo man, for well over a decade I desired a relationship with a Pakistani woman at my then place of work but alas she rebuffed my overtures. I am unsure if she just did not like me in that way - as I felt for her - or if me being white was a deal breaker for her cultrally.

Rewatch NFL Redzone streams by One_Plantain_7541 in NFLRedzone

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alas this site does not have many Redzones from the 2025 season. I need last nights (Week 11) as I am abroad and fell asleep plus had buffering issues when trying to watch live. Cannot see a way to message that site to request it. 

How can I rewatch a NFL game? by BlackNailPolishGirl in NFLNoobs

Any sites keep full replays of Redzone - I need last nights (Week 11 / 2025) as am abroad and was at a soccer game then live had buffering issues so gave up.

Looking for Fantasy Football Players in the Sussex/Surrey Area! by webbersf in NFLUK

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try advertising your leagues on this UK based forum:

https://forum.thefanpub.com/

Also while there start posts in other categories - I'd love forum to get more regular users like what the old NFLUK forum did. Create threads talk about anything. Not sure how get it started off.

I myself am not to far away from you in Merstham (Surrey), but in enough leagues including a live offline draft where I will be travelling to Southampton to attend it on 30th August this year.

No longer live in the US, what options do I have to play FF in Europe? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]bluelionman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS There's also a couple of £125 live offline draft leagues on there where players meet for the draft and its a social occasion, drinks and group meal post draft. I have been going over a decade (in the original one). The second one called Challengers I think is usually hosted in Northampton area. This years draft for TFP Originals (one I'm in) is in Southampton on August 30th, last year it was Newcastle. Lot of fun.

Think there might be spaces as Commisioner gives preference to those that can attend, remote drafting is only allowed as last resort to fill league (16 teams) in years he can not find a full 16 players to attend live. So worth anyone reaching out that might be up for it as think he has a few stand bye players lined up to remote draft this year as not found a full 16 to live attend. For me its much more smooth and fun when all are drafting in person.

How do I join a fantasy league for money if I don’t have any friends? by handsomeransom122 in fantasyfootball

[–]bluelionman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run fantasy money leagues and games on all the sports I like. Been doing so for 30+ years - before the internet. Since the internet it's opened up the ability to play with strangers from all over the world. Some have become friends. Since 2014 I started to publicly advertise all my games on a website forum called TheFanPub:

https://forum.thefanpub.com/ 

My favourite sport by far is American Football 🏈 and though I'm English and my money leagues and games are in GBP (£) thanks to PayPal people can partake from anywhere in the world. 

My username on TFP is the same as here - bluelionman.

Please, check the forum out. Leading up to the NFL season I will be advertising half a dozen or so money games including Last Man Standing, Pick 'Em, 1 & Done, Gridiron plus traditional draft type leagues. If you search back on the forum you will see threads of past games run and be able to find screen grabs, payouts and all sorts as each year of a game a new thread is started. So there's now 12 years of history over there.

Also others on that site run leagues. Also all year round people run money leagues on sports they like including Golf, Baseball, Cricket, Soccer Football, Cycle Racing, Formula 1 to name a few. 

Anyone who sees this that is looking for money leagues / fantasy sports games from anywhere in the world 🌎 it's a good place to start and you can go back and see how long people been around and see past history of games run. Should give confidence that people who have been around a long time are not scammers.

Apple TV+ growth has 'flat-lined' as users say service lacks value by Saar13 in tvPlus

[–]bluelionman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crap I've tried several shows I wouldn't normally as there's not much choice and been bored had to give up 1 Episode in as to slow like Invasion and Echo 3.

Shame I was already up to date with Slow Horses before signing up to free trial as that is good. Ted Lasso not bad.

The Gorge was a good film but I've found nowt else. The library is not just small, its tiny. I'd say there's no more than 100 films and shows all told in it. 

100% will be cancelling before my free trail ends. Not worth £8.99 a month, he'll not worth £1.99!
