best war movies?
i have been watching war movies lately and i am wondering what ones i have missed.
ive seen black hawk down platoon saving private ryan we were soldiers braveheart troy and some other ones that i dont remeber right now. i was going to rent full metal jacket tonight but blockbuster didnt have it so i rented tigerland. edit ive also seen band of brothers the patriot enemy at the gates schindlers list pearl harbor |
Here are some of my favorites that it doesn't look like you've seen:
Full Metal Jacket Apocalypse Now Glory Patton Paths of Glory The Thin Red Line |
the original All Quiet on the Western Front is probably my favorite.
|
The Deer Hunter if you want to be really depressed
|
I haven't had a chance to rent it, but Downfall is supposed to be very good.
|
some other movies i can think of off the top of my head are:
The Great Escape - great movie memphis belle - i havnt seen in years but i liked it as a kid wind talkers tears of the sun We Were Soldiers u571 |
My two faves are The Great Escape and Das Boot. Battle of the Bulge is also REALLY fun, though not too historically accurate from what I hear.
|
dr. strangelove
|
my favorite is Cross of Iron
|
As of late : The Great Raid
|
Hell in the Pacific
Das Boot The Dirty Dozen The Longest Day A Bridge too Far And in honor of the $9.99 Superbit thread: The Guns of Navarone |
Not necessarily a war movie, but set during ww2 @ Los Alamos and shows the scientists racing to make the atom bomb--- Fat man & Little boy
|
Kelly's Heroes
|
Full Metal Jacket is a must see for war movie fans. Platoon received raved, and critically acclaimed reviews, which in my opinion, Platoon was highly overrated.
Full Metal Jacket is a much better movie than Platoon. Stanley Kubrick's: FMJ war adaptation is very emotionally powerful, and realistic. Another recommendation of mine would be, Casualties of War, starring Michael J. Fox, and Sean Penn. Both of these movies are exceptionally good. |

Full Metal Jacket is probably my favorite war movie of all time.
|
THE THIN RED LINE
also: All Quiet On the Western Front Das Boot Paths of Glory Full Metal Jacket |
The Grand Illusion
|
Das Boot would be my favorite war movie but if you include Band of Brothers then that would be tops for me.
|
Coincidently, I threw in Full Metal Jacket last night. I hadn't seen it in over 10 years. It is an exceptionally good movie. Check it out.
|
Some of my favorites:
Bridge on the River Kwai Patton The Great Escape Das Boot Full Metal Jacket Apocalypse Now The Hunt for Red October (Cold War) |
You guys are all wrong. The best war movie is STAR WARS!
|
|
I also thought Platoon was over-rated too.
My list would include: Saving Private Ryan Black Hawk Down Apocalypse Now Paths of Glory Full Metal Jacket Zulu Bridge on the River Kwai Das Boot Patton We Were Soldiers Waterloo Braveheart Casualties of War A Bridge Too Far Troy |
Does Casablanca count?
I'll also add: The Killing Fields Spartacus Empire Of the Sun |
