I've always enjoyed war movies, not the mindless violence ones, but the ones that tell the stories of the guys in the trenches and the living and dying together.

I'm not quite sure Three Kings fits into that, but to me it tells the story of some very 'human' people who are just trying to get by on both sides of the conflict. If I recall correctly it was also the first movie about Desert Storm. That in itself made it really stick with me because that was the first 'war' that I was alive for and my Dad was in the Air National Guard at the time and nearly got deployed for it, but they were modifying his squadron's C-130s and by the time that was completed it was pretty much over. Also, I really likeded the cinematography and the over exposed grainy look to it. The music was awesome too. There were some very interesting song choices. They really helped to propel the story forward.

Ah, yes, the Desert Storm trading cards. It was during the big 90s comic and trading card speculative boom. They were making trading cards for any and everything. The cards were kinda fascinating though. They had a card for like every aircraft, vehicle, and weapon used and all the stats associated with them. There were also cards for maps and the major players like Colin Powell and General Schwarzkopf.
