I'm noticing a lot of war movies, so following that theme you could do:

Heaven & Earth (The Vietnamese perspective on the conflict)

Casualties of War (Michael J. Fox & Sean Penn)

agree with "Killing Fields", the man from the story was murdered in L.A. years later & it's suspected it was part of a conspiracy

Full Metal Jacket & Apocalypse Now have already been mentioned
 
Any five episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

The show is dumb. And every episode is different (unrealistic) depressing tripe. My wife watches that junk. I have sat through a few with her. I laugh at how ridiculous it is. She cries.

(Not a movie. I know.)
Interesting. I don't recall it setting off my tripe meter, which I consider finely attuned, yet I quit watching that one years ago. Everybody must have shagged everyone else by now.

Thelma and Louise.
Predator. <surely even Arnie can't handle a tactical nuke going off a few hundred meters away?>

You are not alone.

My wife also watches that show, and I can't tell you how difficult it is to keep my mouth shut. You and I should start a support group.....:roflmao:.
