Best Wartime Movie U´ve Seen

[miffo]

I like them alot but mostly the rather serious ones, not like Rambo - actionmovies
but like Savin Private R. and such

the best i´ve seen is Kellys Heroes though it has a lot of comedy in it, it´s still good as hell
dl it is my tip

[bravehart_70_2000]

Patton hands down.

[crazy_billy_bats]

i like The Dambusters for a feel-good war time movie (if there is such a thing).
The Great Escape is also fun :D
Also for me are S Private Ryan and Schindlers list
The Deer Hunter is excellent too

[Woxhol]

No question; Full Metal Jacket B)

Gardens of Stone is excellent as well

[Guillaume]

An old one: The river Kwaï

[Skweeky]

a classic: Apocalypse Now

[Hazzy Hazz]

black hawk down

[ijc_2003]

a bridge to far, longest film ever over 3 hours long.

This topic is right up my alley. War movies have to be my favorite genre. so here goes: Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart,Midway,Tora! Tora! Tora!,The Longest Day, Band Of Brothers,Black Hawk Down,We Were Soldiers. The list could be longer, but these are just my favs. I have seen every one of these shows countless times.

[terfdurkel]

I liked Black Hawk Down and Platoon. Another movie I thought was quite good was Enemy at the Gates.

[Homersimpson]

Black Hawk Down is awesome!
Enemey at the Gates! Ed Harris is sooo bad!
Behind Enemy Lines was good too!

Top War Films:

Tora, Tora,Tora - Classic.

A Bridge Too Far - Excellant ensemble cast.

Where Eagles Dare - This film kicks arse!!

Cross Of Iron - Proving the Germans didn't have it all good.

Das Boot - Another great film.

Full Metal Jacket - I saw the film sets for this in London when I was younger.

Apocalypse Now - My favourite, I think.

Cockleshell Heroes - Frogman antics!!

All Quiet On The Western Front - Thought provoking stuff.

Guns Of Navarone - A ripping yarn!!

;)

what difference does this make to the validity of your claim that it is a good war movie?

:lol:

kiddin thats pretty cool.

[soopaman]

Nope, didn't get to see the "reclusive genius". It was weird turning around in "downtown Saigon" and seeing the Post Office Tower!! :lol:

[bilbo4987]

My all-time favs: The Deer Hunter and Full Metal Jacket.

[tarzan]

Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
BlackHawk Down
Three Kings (its a robebry movie but still a war movie nyuk :D )

[thegroggman]

Hmm...theres a lot of them...

Full Metal Jacket
Three Kings
Tora!Tora!Tora!
Bridge over River Kwai
Patton
Deer Hunter
Platoon

Not nesacarily in that order though...

[hotindew]

movie i would say full metal jacket

but i think band of brothers outdoes them all>>>>>fantastic

[puremindmatters]

Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket would be my favourites now, and I just watched "The thin red line" last night, which I might have to watch a second time before I say it is brilliant. It certainly is disturbing.
Cross of iron is a good one as well.

[bravehart_70_2000]

Flying Tigers was also a good one. But then again I also really love the movie " to hell and back" the Audy Murphy story. So many good old WWII movies out there.

[Buffalo]

Saving Private Ryan! No doubt

Enemy at the Gates comes a close second :D

Jonno B)

[MagicNakor]

I don't watch many war movies. The one that I still remember is the Das Boot Director's Cut. A most excellent film.

:ninja:

[Alucard1475]

Full Metal Jacket
Shindler's List

A very old one, "Papillon" (1973)
In that movie, Papillon always tries to escape prisson but they always catch him - great movie.

[DJ-KeTTLe]

no one mentioned the longest day with john wayne or we were soliders :D

[RuntimeError]

black hawk down best for entire movie. fmj for best first half of the movie :D
