That surreptitious sex scene with that actress from the Mummy was kind of hot though.

oh yeah. i liked how they were all grimy through the whole movie, and the people sleeping two inches on either side of them didnt care enough to pay attention to what they were doing. a friend of mine saw the film with his Belarussian girlfriend, and she cracked up laughing in the middle of some dramatic scene, because the cyrilic graphiti in the background read "dog-dick" or something like that.

in fact, im not sure that i've ever seen a GOOD sniper movie, much less a realistic one.
How about The Day of the Jackal (1973)?
Unless one considers it an assassination movie.

Full Metal Jacket also has a good sniper episode at the end.

ah yes, i did enjoy day of the jackal - as well as the more recent bruce willis remake. though i would not consider those sniper movies.. what im looking for is a realistic treatment of long range marksmanship and fieldcraft.

and yes, i understand full well that those concepts dont lend themselves well toward exciting movies.

other hit movies that blew - god how i hated the sam ramie spider man movie! what a turd! bad computer graphics, Mary Jane was total trailer trash, and spiderman whined more than skywalker! i cant figure out why it was so popular! and I usually like ramie's movies, though im probably spelling his name wrong.

well, i didn't have any preconceptions, all my spare money tending to head to games and books, so i don't have much or any to spare for comics.

Um... in the comics, Spiderman also whines more than Skywalker. So what's the problem ?
