films

Series I’ve watched lately are ‘The Rookie’ and ‘In the Dark’ - Both brilliant.

 

National Lampoon's Vacation. Still brilliant

 

I like the Rookie too. They do get into some strange situations,don't they?

 

American Sniper...Again.

 

Good film
I was surprised at the ending until I checked out the true story

 

It's on now....Maybe far fetched, but based loosely on a true tale.

 

Yanks are very big on snipers, they have many films about them and they crop up often in cop shows as ex servicemen.
Strange thing is the highest place they hold in furthest confirmed kill is 6th.

 

Lee Harvey Oswald, true life ex service sniper

 

I'm not taking it serious mate.....It's a good film, i just look for flaws....

 

took him two shots from around 100 yards

 

I just get pissed off about the way the yanks idolise theirs when they are not quite as good as some others.

 

Thats why he was an ex sniper

 

Don't be fooled, they have many of the best...

Their best is good, the rest not so much...

 

When i look at the top stats where people are making shots from 2000 yards up to 3,871 yards i am impressed with the calculations that go into Earth curvature, rate of fall and wind effect. I am even more impressed with the power of the scopes

 

It's all to do with wind etc...Over tat distance and pot luck...Plus the circumstances you are in...

Big difference hitting a target on a range, to being under a bush

 

american sniper is like a poor mans version of enemy at the gates....now that';s a great film.

 

Vasily Zaytsev... quite apt for the film thread. Top film as well.

 

ffs beat me to it

 

I love that film
