I know 8t is fiction, but W.E.B. Griffin novels would be a great movie

Operation Buffalo: USMC Fight for the DMZ
This was a great book & I have no doubt it would be a great movie if done accurately & correctly.

A Learning Experience - Christopher Nuttall.
But it'll never get made by Today's Hollywood.
It uses today's Liberalistic Bureaucracy as a backdrop to a series of S/F novels that depicts the ones that got away.

I was in 11th Engineer Bn until early June at Dong Ha, then transferred into 1st AmTrac Bn, thereafter, at Cua Viet. My units supported the infantry Ops of Buffalo, Hickory II, and Kingfisher.
I cannot claim to have been directly involved in the Ops themselves, but we were involved around the periphery. It was a very tense Summer for all of us.
I agree with your idea for the movie.

A movie on the book "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailor" where US destroyer escorts take on Japanese capital ships and win!
In one 'attack', an Avenger pilot, after his bomb run, takes out his M1911A1 and shoots at a Japanese cruiser
Great book and either Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood should be director.

I'd like to see more historical movies that are technically accurate. Language, clothing, architecture, etc.
Humans vs neanderthals. The earliest naval warfare. The early chinese use of firearms.
The history of animals in warfare, made into movie form. Ancient Egypt, Hannibal crossing the alps, the dogs of war, pigs on fire rushing through lines, etc. PETA would hate it.
Custers last stand.
The French and Indian wars.
Lewis and clark.
The American expeditionary force to Siberia.
The boxer rebellion.
Also, the history of Malta is fascinating from prehistory, though the crusades, into ww2.
Getting tired of watching great movies and then having to realize it couldn't be made today.

Historical movies that are technically correct? Hollywood changes history to bring in the Benjamins in order to make more historical movies that are INcorrect!
Humans vs. Neanderthals - Clan of the Cave Bear (how would you know if it was technically correct anyways?)
Custers Last Stand - So many of them made, it is ridiculous. Although would like to see more of a reference made about him leaving his Gatling guns behind because they were too slow/heavy. Might have changed the course of battle??? Oh, and he had cut his hair before he went on that excursion, just in case...so the Indians wouldn't get his flowing locks. So any portrait of him at the battle with long flowing locks is incorrect!
French and Indian War - Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy or Last of the Mohicans
Lewis and Clark - The Far Horizons with Charlton Heston
Boxer Rebellion - 55 Days at Peking, once agin with Heston
A few movies to hold those, who can't wait for Hollywood technically correct movies...

Blood in the water match.

Who wouldn't want to see commies getting punched in the face.

“Guns of the South” would be awesome, but somehow I don’t think we will ever see a movie where the south gets the upper hand.
Does anyone know if a movie has ever been made depicting Hanibal’s campaign against Rome? That could be an epic along the likes of”Ben Hur”.
The Men With Green Faces: A series of movies or docudramas about missions of Navy Seals in Viet Nam...before we lose those guys: Rudy Boesch, Richard Marcinko, many others. Particularly the stories of the 3 (or more) Seals that were Medal of Honor recipients.
I agree with this.
I wish they would make a movie of The Gunslinger / Dark Tower, Stephen Kings magnum opus.
Wait they did. They completely f***** it up. Absolutely loved the Dark Tower saga. This movie needs remade desperately. Great source material.
While we are at it, more Evil Dead with Ash? Not just the show.

There has been a lot of bible scholar and better translation on ancient languages, so I will like to see a tv series on David, Moses or Jesus that depicts the happening of their time.
That would be cool
Clancy, Red storm Rising...
"...And we thank God..., never came..." (?)
Keep watching this space...

Another vote for "Fearless".
Somebody ought to make a film about The Munster Rebellion. Sam Peckinpah could have handled the ending masterfully but, alas, he is 35 years gone.
Apparently there are a few Avatar sequels in the works... really looking forward to those. The original was a beautiful movie! Also hoping that some x-men/fantastic 4 movies get produced by Feige and crew. I really don't understand why they're making a Black Widow movie... so many better choices out there!
This and the "empowering females" thing are the only reasons to do this. She is REALLY hot though lol
Without remorse, but done right. Willem dafoe is a good actor, but he shouldn't have been Clark in clear and present danger.
I just finished the second book in the "Terminal List" series - "True Believer". It's very good as well. Looking forward to more in the series.
Or "Armor" by John Steakley. The dark side of "Starship Troopers."
Anal cuties from Chinatown.
Anything about the battles fought in the Aleutian Islands...... been waiting a long time for that one...
Im waiting for Part 3!
I want anything with good shooting actions. Lately there has been too many unrealistic type going on. Even the latest john wick got a little weird. Some rainbow 6 action would be cool
Reading books about submarine warfare was always the most suspenseful to me. My imagination really ran wild whenever I did so and gave me a high degree of admiration for all those who served under the seas...
The complete 10 books of the "Going Home" series as a mini series.
Same with the 4 books of "Charlie's Requiem" as mini series.

Would love to see a sequel to American Assassin. I never got into the books the the movie left off for a perfect sequel/trilogy that I think would be great.
Last o knew they were making a sequel to the Accountant.

Affleck can be very, very good or very, very bad...he was good in the Accountant
