Watched Hacksaw Ridge last week and now I'm wanting to watch more war movies. So far I've watched Full Metal Jacket. Have already seen Dunkirk and 1917. Looking for more suggestions.

If you like anime that's more about the effects of war: Grave of the Fireflies

Great suggestions.

I got in the thread before they were suggested by others. I do own and watch them often. Except Grave of the Fireflies. It gets emotional and is a tough watch.

Meathead

The Dirty Dozen
Where Eagles Dare
Kelly's Heroes
Inglorious Basterds

I have seen Deer Hunter once. A brilliant movie but I don't think I could take it again. Same reason I have never seen Schindler's List.

Being a big QT fan I can't believe it took me this long to watch IB. What a satisfying film.

I add Twelve O' Clock High (1949). Gregory Peck is excellent as the leader of the bomber squard in the UK. They show actually footage of the real dogfights in the film. Dean Jagger won for Best Supporting Actor. Wish more people would saw it as I put in my top ten war films.

I prefer the popcorn type of war movies over the serious ones.

Missing in Action
Rambo: First Blood part 2
Uncommon Valor
Strike Commando

Never So Few with Sinatra, Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen

MysterioMan007

War movies are probably my least-watched genre, but Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan are both awesome.

I agree with a lot of movies already mentioned.

A couple that haven’t been mentioned yet:

Fury
Anthropoid
Band if Brothers - Ok, not a movie but a self contained limited series that’s every bit as good as any others mentioned.
