This is one of my Top 5 movies of all time; The movie is so wonderfully directed and has 2 of the best acting performances ever (a young River Phoenix and Indie favorite Lili Taylor). I won't go into the plot or details, i would just like to say that this movie has a heart, and the interplay between the characters and how their feelings change for each other throughout the movie is fascinating. See this movie. Steve

I’ve loved this movie since high school. I’m so glad I ordered this dvd! River Phoenix and Lili Tailor did a phenomenal job together.

River Phoenix was arguably one of the greatest actors of the late 1980's, early 1990's. His untimely death ended a career that would have blossomed even more over time. In Dogfight, Phoenix play the part of Birdlace with honesty and emotion. You think of the character as a complete jerk to begin with, then realize that the marine does have a soft heart for ugly-duckling Rose. You're then again disappointed when he rips up her address and tosses out the window of a moving bus as he and his fellow marines head to Viet Nam. For those who haven't seen it, I won't reveal the final scene. Instead, I will say that it is truly touching. Both Phoenix and Taylor delve into the characters of Birdlace and Rose, a perfect pair for this film. Their quiet moments together had me feeling the intensity, something that I admire. Not every actor is able to do that. For some, River will always be missed and we will always wonder what might have been. Definitely give this one a viewing if you like romance flicks!Read full review

I am a big fan of the late, great River Phoenix, so I was anxious to see a film of his that hadn't been seen much, or talked about much. Dogfight is a beautiful, moving story and it really shows River's tender side. Lily Taylor is fabulous in it as well. Both of their performances broke my heart!! I was a bit worried in the beginning of the movie, thinking it would be a mean, crude "guy" movie about how they sometimes treat women, but was pleasantly surprised that it showed the other side that men have, along with the more macho side. I highly recommend this movie, to men and women alike, it really makes you think.
Coarse, handsome Marine Eddie Birdlace (River Phoenix) and shy, ugly ducking pacifist Rose (Lili Taylor) are an unlikely couple. It is the night before he is shipping out to Vietnam, and Birdlace has invited Rose to accompany him to a dogfight--a cruel contest in which the Marine who brings the ugliest date wins. When Rose inadvertently discovers the truth, Birdlace--intrigued by this naive, good-hearted waitress who worships folksingers--does his best to make it up to her with results that neither expects.
No skipping. Love this movie.

I have enjoyed this movie very much. I bought it because I had seen a portion of it on the IFC cable network. I wanted to see the entire movie and since it is quite old decided to look on ebay. It is one of River Pheonix's best performances in my opinion. He transforms before us to see life and people from a different perspective. I would highly recommend the movie for adult viewing. There is a lot of bad language and would not be appropriate for children.
