Any good War Movies?

Yeah basically the topic. I'm looking for good ones to watch.

Suggestions please.

Obvious choices: Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan.

Patton and The Longest Day.

What's the name of that war movie with the bomb defusing?

The Hurt Locker, I think. That won some awards. Not sure if it's actually good, though. I haven't seen it.

Platoon, Jarhead, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, When trumpets fade, Apocalypse now, Black hawk Down, Bridge on the river kwai... mmm to name a few.

Michael Collins isn't the prototypical "war movie," but it's one of my favorite war-related movies I've seen.

Full Metal Jacket. Film is amazing.

If you want war movies the two must sees are The Brotherhood of War (makes Saving Private Ryan look like COD) and the origional All Quiet on the Western Front (It gives you a far different perspective of war ie the germans side :P)

Obvious choices: Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan.

True fact: 300 was filmed entirely in front of blue-screens.

Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down were good. If you want something more recent, The Hurt Locker is a pretty good choice.

Aside from all the movies everyone is sure to name (Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, etc..) you should really check out "Paths of Glory".

It's a very deep and emotional movie, and one of my favorite war movies of all time. I didn't expect anything from it in the beginning either..

The age doesn't matter though, because it's story is very interesting and deep. When I watched it, I didn't even know anything about the movie, or even realize how old it was. I have to thank my history teacher from my senior year of HS though. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have even thought of checking out the movie.

Letters From Iwo Jima. Screw Flags of our Fathers.

Yeah, I realized that after watching a few more of his movies. I didn't really hear about Krubrick, as much as just liking him from watching his movies (Because to be honest, I appreciate and love film, but I don't look into it much).

My English teacher basically said the same thing to me btw :P. She was a film major, so she wasn't surprised to see I loved his movies.

[QUOTE="NiteLights"] Whoa, that movie is old. :shock::P

It's worth it man. Don't let the age get to you.

Brothers and Green Zone are two of the best I've seen this year. biggest_loser

Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, Tears of the Sun.

The Expendables

:?

Everyone already nailed the obvious choices, so I'll say Grave of the Fireflies. Your sig confirms that you at least have a passing interest in anime, so you might like this. Be warned: you WILL cry.

Surprisingly Lawrence of Arabia hasn't been mentioned yet; I think that's one of the best, although my favorite will always be Apocalypse Now.

Apocalypse Now and The Thin Red Line are the two best war movies I've ever seen.
