There's nothing further here for a warrior. We drive bargains. Old men's work. Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men. Courage and hope for the future

Re: Name That Movie!
Which means it must be a movie set in WWI; and since I can think of only two WWI movies that would have such a deep philosophical quote in them it will probably come down to one or the other .... but which one?MajGenl.Meade wrote:Rather more than a sockful, Ray.

So I mentally flip a coin and come up with ..... "The Blue Max".

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Re: Name That Movie!
All wrong. I really thought BB would name the "other one" he referred to as likely to contain such "philosophical" notions.

B: I have the same problem, sir.

Re: Name That Movie!
After I made my initial guess I Googled the line and found out that it wasn't from the other one I was thinking of either, so I have removed myself from further participation with regard to this particular quotation.

Re: Name That Movie!
All those guesses are on the wrong continent - right war, though.
B. I killed two people. One was... yesterday? He was just a boy and I led him into ....... The other was... well, before........ I had to execute him with my pistol, and there was something about it that I didn't like.
A: That's to be expected.
B: No, something else.
A: Well, then let it be a lesson.
B: No... something else.
A: What then?
B: I enjoyed it.

Re: Name That Movie!
I've known the answer since the first quote was posted, (I just thought I'd enter The Wrong WW I Movie Competition 
) if nobody else gets it after all these additional clues today, I'll take it...
