Top 20

[Linvill]

Let's get a chain of posts started here.

How about the top 20 War movies of all time??

I will go first.

Full Metal Jacket

[I have no arms BAR]

Saving Private Ryan

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120815/

So what if someone says Band of Brothers? Does that count as one or ten? lol

Anyways my favorite war movie of all time is probably the longest day.

[Kabasares]

Enemy At The Gates

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

We Were Soldiers

(Mel Gibson before he went bat shit insane!)

[Jasko]

Black Hawk Down

[Linvill]

Band Of brothers wasn't a movie. It was an HBO Mini series, But the best hbo mini-series was Generation KILL!

Fucking amazing.

[GMoney BAR]

Generation Kill was a joke. It was so fake it made me sick.

[Stab N' Grab]

Platoon. Also, just watched a movie the other night called "Letters from Iwo Jima" and it was pretty good, you dont see war movies from the other factions perspectives too often. Also, i doubt anyone here has seen this movie because its a foreign film that wasnt shown over here, but "Tai guk gi" was probably the most action packed and violent war movies ive ever seen. Its a Korean war flick from the South Korean armies POV. If you havent seen it you should check it out.

We Were Soldiers

(Mel Gibson before he went bat shit insane!)

I couldnt get into that movie at all, the setting they used from that movie looks just like a park down the street from my house, and the entire time i watched it, it made me feel like it took place in Phoenix AZ lol

If you liked Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of our Fathers was the "sister movie" to that. Same time and setting, but the Americans viewpoints.

Good movie too.

Both directed by Clint Eastwood.

Windtalkers... Such a great film!!!!

[Tolomeo]

I can't take Windtalkers seriously some reason.

I have seen Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War. That was a great film, and I recommend it. Even though at the beginning it was very homosexual with the pop-sickles and hugging.. It must be different it South Korea.

Letters of Iwo is a great movie. I have it on blu-ray and love to watch it. It's great to see the other side of the story.

thats why i like it, it goes from a very happy "yay life is wonderful this couldnt be more carebear and safe!" to someone shoving helmets on them and throwing them in the middle of a firefight, its fuckin awesome.

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

Kelly's Heroes

Where Eagles Dare

Nobody is suggesting any good fun war movies, so there's two classics. I know war shouldn't be viewed as fun, but at that time it was normal to glorify and exaggerate the heroes (and villains) of war.

And if you want a "serious" movie:

A Bridge Too Far

If you haven't seen these movies, you're missing out!

[Weatherdon 1st MRB]

Starship Troopers! U said war movies!

[R. Baker 1st MRB]

If Band of Brothers counts then that. If it dosen't count then Saving Private Ryan

[Dillon 1st MRB]

The Dirty Dozen - Its Lee Marvin, Teli Savalis, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, and Jim Fucking Brown. How could they not be awesome?

The Green Berets John Wayne in Vietnam when he's in his 60's, and he doesn't look too out of place.

Tora! Tora! Tora! Epic movie.

To Hell and Back If you don't know who Audie Murphy is, you need to learn about the most decorated man of WWII.

Master and Commander Naval action in the age of tall ships. I have a hard-on for the navy (and the marines they carried) of this time.

Love Kelly's Heroes, too.

[J. Clark]

Letters of Iwo is a great movie. I have it on blu-ray and love to watch it. It's great to see the other side of the story.

i was gonna say that but sence you did ill say thin red line

[Kanganis]

Inglourious Bastards plain and simple

[R. Baker 1st MRB]

Get this started again!

Platoon with Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Forest Whitaker, John C. McGinley & load more!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091763/

[Cutts]

Yama, you just suggested all 3 that I was going to suggest!

I particularly like Where Eagles Dare, because of the absurd number

of Nazis that Clint lights up with dual MP40s. Is anything cooler?

And A Bridge Too Far contains practically every British actor working in the 1970s

Also Kanganis has it right... Inglorious Bastards (the original one) is amazing...

It also has some really funny dubbing at various points, particularly when they

steal the nazi's motorbike.

My favorite is definitely Cross of Iron:
