    Yeah the idea here is for narrative features only. Maybe one day we could do a Best Documentary tournament? But not for a while.

    I get the reasoning but I do have more questions....for a later time though....

    Geeez, I have so many more on my list I shouldn't be worried about docs anyway!

    It was my favorite for many years, but I think Full Metal Jacket wrestled the crown away in recent times.

    Since Vacation was the next movie I was going to nominate, I'll go with one of it's sequels and one of my favorite Christmas movies.

    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
    Jeremiah S. Chechik

    Rusty Griswold : Dad, this tree won't fit in our back yard.
    Clark : It's not going in the yard, Russ. It's going in the living room

    Any serious war film buff needs to have this under their belt.
