Your Favorite War Movies....
 

I would like to know your favorite war/armed forces movies....

My favorites are: Bridge on the river Kwai
The Patriot
Behind Enemy Lines

I just watched 'A Bridge Too Far' It was really good. My favorite though is probably 'Saving Private Ryan'

I liked Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Platoon, and Band of Brothers, which I guess isn't really a movie. Oh well.

Band of Brothers(although not technically a "movie") would be my favorite.I still need to see Full Metal Jacket though(hides his head in shame) ;)

war movies... one of my favorite genres.
I can't wait for TROY, it looks awesome!

In no order,
Braveheart
Patriot
Gettysburg
Full Metal Jacket
The Killing Fields
Black Hawk Down
Saving Private Ryan
Bat21

Das Boot and Platoon are two of favorite war time movies.

Funny how we get this question every year about this time from a "New Member".

1. Midway
2. Tora Tora Tora
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. The Patriot
5. Pearl Harbor
6. The Final Countdown (Can't for a REAL DVD to be released for this movie)

7. Schindler's List (when it comes out on DVD)

I've gotten into war movies a lot more recently (within the last 2 years or so) and all of the ones that have been mentioned are great. Also add in:

- Glory,
- Gods And Generals,
- Andersonville,
- We Were Soldiers,
- Patton, and
- Band Of Brothers (one more time for good measure :D )

I liked U571, but I also really like Where Eagles Dare. My dad used to watch it all the time as I was growing up, so I guess it reminds me of him.

I can't believe some of the titles I forgot. Here's a few more:

Black Hawk Down
Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Glory
Bravehart
Patriot

Platoon
The Beast
Gallipoli
Glory
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Zulu
Breaker Morant (sort of a war movie)
Das Boot

Apocalypse Now
The Killing Fields (war as backdrop)
No Man's Land
Lawrence of Arabia
