Has anyone seen this movie? If so how did you like it? I want rent a movie this weekend and trying to decide on what to rent.

I love this movie. I've probably seen it five times. I would watch Phillip Seymour Hoffman read a phone book.

[Hookemdown.]

It's not a movie for everybody, but I loved it.

[atx_newbie]

I really liked it.  It's the kind of role that Tom Hanks was born to play.  He was unbelievably good.

[Dan:]

I liked it. It's an important part of history, also.

Who's Carlie Wilson and why is he at war?

[fishfordollars]

I grew up with Charlie Wilson. If you think the movie is crazy you should have seen the real antics he pulled in Lufkin and Nacogdoches when he was a young man.

Who's Carlie Wilson and why is he at war?

Congressman from Lufkin Texas. He fought a war with the Russians by delivering Stinger missiles to the Afghans during the Russian occupation. Got congress to spend the money to arm the freedom fighters. The missiles were used to destroy the Russian helicopters that were laying waste to the fighters.

He is considered a hero in that country to this day.
