   Okay, time to spice up the list a bit.  My 12 year old (whose movie
viewing I edit) is in Canada for 5 weeks and my wife (who turns pale
at the sight of cinematic special effects, aka "blood") will be gone
for two weeks.	So during that time I'll be able to watch movies that
I've always wanted to watch but have too much violence and/or bare
skin.  These movies are of course..what?  I'm looking for a) movies
that it's reasonably likely my local video shop may have; and b) films
which are either good SF and/or useful background for wargamers.

For example:  Saving Pvt Ryan; Aliens; Predator.
