What are some good gun related DVDs to rent from Netflix?
Of course there's the favorites; Blackhawk Down, We Were Soldiers, etc, but I've been getting into renting series disks from them instead of movies lately.
I just rented "Over There" an FX TV series about a fictional squad over in Iraq. I only watched the first two episodes, but it seems very good and jives with some of the soldier blogs I've read. Very realistic use of weapons too.
A while back I rented Tour of Duty. It was apparently a TV series in the mid 80's about a platoon in Vietnam. It has a little more of a "Blacksheep Squadron" feel to it, although certainly much better than A-Team. I suppose it's the time period it was made. I've only watched a couple episodes, but I like it. The weapons usage seemed pretty accurate in it too, which surprised me for the period.
There's The Shield. Sometimes it's a little hard to watch, but it has it's interesting times too.
They have Combat! too. A real oldie.
Anybody else have some ideas for good DVDs?
