A Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2003)

Stripes is one of those movies you can watch over and over and over again. It is a comedy classic. I was about 12 or 13 when I first watched it and had a blast repeating the film's dialogue with friends. The scene where all the guys are in the room telling each other the reasons why they joined the army is magnificent. Bill Murray is incredible in this movie, as is Harold Ramis. They are supported nicely by John Candy, Judge Reinhold, Warren Oates and Conrad Dunn. I would love for a film maker to try to make an updated version of sorts...I think some have tried with Pauly Shore's "In the Army Now" and other such flops, that simply, do not come close to "Stripes." And...please...I hope a commemorative DVD with rare interviews and deleted scenes, etc. hits the market. Stripes is military humor at its best!!!
