Military movies contain inspiring moments, important messages, and hilarious insults lobbed between troops. Filled with wit, wisdom, and profanity, here are some of our favorites.

"Have you ever been mistaken for a man?"

"No, have you?"

"You are in more dire need of a bl--job than any white man in history." 

3. A Few Good Men

"You see, Danny, I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to stand there in that f-ggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some f-cking courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely."

Insults don't get much better than that.

4. Enemy at the Gates

6. A Bridge Too Far

"I've selected you to lead us, not only because of your extraordinary fighting ability, but also because, in the unlikely event the Germans ever get you, they will assume from your attire that they've captured a wretched peasant and immediately send you on your way."

7. Heartbreak Ridge

"The Marines are looking for a few good men. Unfortunately, you ain't it."

 10. Saving Private Ryan

"Because only Spartan women give birth to real men."

12. Full Metal Jacket

This one's so good, it's age-restricted. 

Obviously, this whole list could be Gunny Hartman quotes, but we just picked a couple of favorites to include.

"Who the f-ck said that? Who's the slimy, little, communist sh-t, twinkle-toed c--ksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh? The fairy f--king godmother said it? Out-f--king-standing!" (0:22 in the video above)

"It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress!" (2:24 in the video).

"I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose!" (3:14)

13. Braveheart

Mooning. It's the mooning.
