The deer hunter is my favourite movie of all time, if it counts.

War Hunt (1962) is a great and underrated war/Korean war movie. It stars Robert Redford as a new recruit fresh in from the world and on the front lines in Korea. He notices that one of his platoon mates, a quiet and awkward private played by John Saxon, sneaks out at night and comes back at dawn. When he tells others about it they tell him to shut up about it. Eventually he follows him out one night and sees him sneaking up on gooks and butchering them with his combat knife and then doing weird rituals with the bodies. When he tells his superior officers they tell Redford that although they realize this is a violation of their orders, Saxon gets a lot of valuable intel this way and so they just let him do it. Everything is fine and dandy for a while and John Saxon is living his best life and even has a young Korean boy servant, but then the war ends and he realizes he’s going to have to go back to America and get a job. So instead he goes awol intending to live out his days in the jungle with his child boyfriend, presumably murdering people at will. The army realizes this might break the armistice and so they send Robert Redford out to get him.
>>219113750What a fuckin' premise.
>>219113750Men In War (1957) is another really great Korean War movie too. The great Rob Ryan and Aldo Ray star in this criminally underrated Anthony Mann directed film that feels like a war movie, a noir, and a western all at once.
