All Quiet on the Western Front; Saving Private Ryan; The Dirty Dozen; The Longest Day; Shenandoah (not sure if that counts).

Icould come up with more, but those are the ones I thought of first.

Oh, I forgot about Pearl Harbour and Behind Enemy Lines. Pearl Harbour seemed kind of thrown together, though. And wasn't Behind Enemy Lines more of an escape movie than an actual war movie?

It's set in a war like atmosphere, so it's a war movie to me ;)

Yeah I guess. I thought it was a war movie before I saw it, which is why I rented it.

Has anybody mentioned Star Wars or Harry Potter? Both have wars, but different than this context...

Obviously Saving Private Ryan, it redefined war movies as we know them.

Jarhead, in my opinion, was phenomenal simply because it focused on something that most war movies don't- the psychological battle of being deployed overseas.

Apocolypse Now was one of the most unique war movies I've ever seen, definately a must see.

I'm not a big fan of war movies, so you only get those 3.

1.Band of Brothers. (Even though its a miniseries.)

2.The Pianist. (Even though its not about actual soldiers or combat, just a general war setting.)

3.The Sands of Iwo Jima. (John Wayne, a civilian, managed to accuratly portay a Marine sergeant.)

4.Saving Private Ryan. (Even though they're own stupidity killed them all in the end.)

5.Letters from Iwo Jima. (Clint more than made up for the abomination that was Heartbreak ridge.)

  • Braveheart
  • A Bridge Too Far
  • The Last of the Mohicans
  • Tora! Tora! Tora!
  • Saving Private Ryan

And here are some really old or obscure war movies that are well worth watching, IMHO. Seriously, watch these if you can find them!

  • The Blue Max (1966) Probably the best movie depiction of WW1 aerial combat
  • Zulu (1964) British defense of Rorke's Drift in South Africa; Features a 31-year-old Michael Caine!
  • Where Eagles Dare (1968 ) Clint Eastwood + WW2 = Classic!
  • The Wild Geese (1978 ) British mercenaries vs African dictator; Featuring Roger Moore and Richard Burton
  • Das Boot (1981) WW2 submarine drama
