15 Greatest Taglines in Movie History

4. Buffalo Soldiers €“ "War is hell€ but peace is fucking boring."

As one can gather from this tagline, Gregor Jordan€™s movie is full of some pretty dark humour. This is perhaps not a surprise given it is a film based around a bored American soldier stationed in Germany during the Cold War who takes to making illicit black market deals in order to pass the time. Joaquin Phoenix's Specialist Ray Elwood is one of the more unconventional soldiers you will find, engaging in smuggling and drug dealing to relieve his peacetime boredom. The movie itself isn't perhaps as well remembered and highly regarded as it could be, but in terms of having a snappy tagline which sums up a movies whole raison d'etre in just a few brief words, it's up there with the very best.
