My favorites, in no certain order:

Patton

Memphis Belle

Midway

The Great Escape

The Longest Day

I think everyone should watch Saving Private Ryan, or at least the Omaha Beach segment, at least once, but it's too gruesome to be one of my favorites.

The Great Escape
Platoon
Red Dawn
Saving Private Ryan

The Bridge on the River Kwai I'm done here.mo0ksi

1. Apocalypse Now

2. Paths of Glory

3. Saving Private Ryan

4. Platoon

5. Full Metal Jacket

1. Apocalypse Now
2. The Thin Red Line

Everything else. (still haven't seen Bridge on the River Kwai)

Apocalypse Now
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Great Escape
The Hunt For Red October

I dunno if some of the choices are a stretch or not. Tehcnically they all happen in a time of war (except for maybe Red October, but it's awesome so it doesn't matter).

Platoon

Saving Private Ryan

Full Metal Jacket

Black Hawk Down

Enemys at the Gates

black hawk down

I fancy myself a war movie connoisseur, and have seen just about every one under the sun (foreign, domestic, new and old).

In no particular order

1) Longest Day

2) A Bridge Too Far

3) Saving Private Ryan

4) Tae Guk Gi (S. Korean)

5) Stalingrad

I honestly can't put Apocalypse Now in since my first viewing was of the awful, AWFUL Redux version, and it forever soiled the movie in my eyes.

Runner ups:

6) Kelly's Heroes (Woof woof WOOF!)

7) Enemy at the Gates

8 ) All Quiet on the Western Front

9) Black Hawk Down

10) 9th Rota (Russian)

My top 5 in no order:

The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, Patton, Kelly's Heroes

Zulu is good too.

Honorable Mention - Saving Private Ryan

My favorites, in no certain order:

How so?

[QUOTE="BigSexy63"]Black Hawk Down needs to be in there somewhere.Snipes_2

1. The Vietnam war was very different from other wars.

2. How so? How was it not accurate? It was a pretty damn accurate Vietnam War movie. What do you think was a good Vietnam movie?

We Were Soldiers was an excellent movie...too bad I can't list six.:P

1. Saving Private Ryan

2. The Longest Day

3. A Bridge Too Far

4. The Hurt Locker

5. Platoon

Loved all of those except for Thin Red Line. I just didn't like the pacing. Also, it's good to see some EatG love here. Alot of people despised it for the love plot, but the first twenty minutes of that movie alone make up for it, in my eyes.Verge_6

Yeah, Enemy at the Gates was excellent. I dunno, I really liked Thin Red Line. If I could add a sixth it would be Black Hawk Down. Delta were just freakin' awesome in that movie.

We were soldiers was a good action movie..Not a good Vietnam movie.

It was based off of a book, but they removed many aspects of the book, not to mention it was not a very interesting movie, as opposed to other Vietnam movies that portray something of importance.

As a matter of fact, I'm considering ordering the DVD from Movies Unlimited, to add to my movie collection.
