Pearl Harbor :|
Replace it with Bridge on the River Kwai or A bridge too Far.Lto_thaG

Apocalypse Now should be first on everyones' list! :evil:super_mario_128

1. Band of Brothers (HBO series, but I don't care)

4. Enemy at the Gates
5. The Longest Day
6. We Were Soldiers
7. Generation Kill (Another HBO series)

Apocalypse Now should be first on everyones' list! :evil:super_mario_128

Can't believe no one mentioned Full Metal Jacket. One of the best, up there with Platoon. Paths of Glory is pretty good, a little satirical, but not as bad a Dr Strangelove.seulcontre

I did:P

1. Full Metal Jacket

2. Platoon

3. Flags of our Fathers

4. Letters from Iwo Jima

5. Apocalypse Now

6. Enemys at the Gates

7. Saving Private Ryan

8. Black Hawk Down

9. Bridge on River Kwai

10. Crimson Tide

Runners up

Pearl Harbor

I've watched Apocalypse Now but it didn't leave a mark on me. Can someone please explain why they like it? Don't flame me! :cry: *puts flame shield up*the_foreign_guy

You either like something or you don't. Some film are an acquired taste though, so if you've only seen it once, see it again you may feel differently about it. You don't have to like something because other people say they do. It's just their opinions.

Your list is incomplete. A Bridge Too Far, The Bridge Over The River Kwai, and Zulu are essential. Das Boot and Tora! Tora! Tora! belong there too.

Some old / obscure movies in my list!

In no particular order:

• Tora! Tora! Tora! (Perhaps the best "Pearl Harbor" movie)
• Braveheart
• Das Boot (WWII German U-boat)
• Zulu (British vs thousands of Zulus at Rorke's Drift, South Africa)
• A Bridge Too Far (Operation Market Garden, WWII)
• The Blue Max (WWI aviation)
• Operation Crossbow (WWII story focusing on the V1 and V2 rockets)

1. Saving Private Ryan

2. Full Metal Jacket

3. Jarhead

4. Black Hawk Down

5. Apocalypse Now (even though I never saw the ending ;-;)

Nothing else really comes to mind.

Whats with all the top ten movie things today? anyway.

1. Paths of Glory

2. The Deer Hunter

3. Platoon

4. Full Metal Jacket

5. Apocalypse Now

6. Letters From Iwo Jima

7. A Bridge On the River Of Kwai

8. Downfall

9. Das Boots

10. Saving Private Ryan.

[Second that notion. Pearl Harbor was more a romantic movie than a war movie.hokies1313

Stesilaus

I agree with most of it, but I'd pull Braveheart as it's just too full of innaccuracies. I think I'd replace it with Glory.

1. Black Hawk Down

2. Saving Private Ryan

3. Band of Brothers

4. Enemy at the Gates

5. U-571

6. Platoon

7.

1. Saving private Ryan

2. Band of brothers( HBO series)

3. platoon

4. Black hawk down

5. kingdom of heaven(Swords but it is still war)

6. Troy( Swords)

7. Hamburger Hill

8. Green Berets

9. The kingdom

10. Generation kill( HBO series)

All 10 Band of Brothers sections.

The killing Fields is one I forgot about. Its Vietnam, pre and post U.S. withdrawal. Goes into the massacre that took place after. The story follows some journalist who were covering events. Its a true story and i highly recommend it.seulcontre

The Killing Fields is not in Vietnam, but Cambodia during the reign of Pol Pot.

Not a movie but Band of Brothers is very good

I've seen those three, and I liked them all.

I dunno if G.I Jane categorizes as a war movie, but I liked that one too. and if G. I Jane goes, Rambo's on the list, too:P

[QUOTE="Cloud_Insurance"]Master and Commander was an outright snoozefest. Thin Red Line was as well.bogaty

Your credibility = 0

Agreed. Those two movies were cinematic master pieces.

Where is All Quiet on the Western Front, Thin Red Line What hands down beats all of those is Band of Brothers, it is like a ten hour movie.Haphilli
