What are some of your picks?

It's a toss-up between Saving Private Ryan & Full Metal Jacket.

FMJ all day long

Yeah Im a sucker but I think this was the most entertaining of war movies LOL.

Try to see Idi i smotri (Go and See / Come and See) really good and in some parts too cruel.

Yes, Иди и смотри is a very disturbing movie Kronos and hailed as a major film Russia!

War movies................they are all great........I guess it is impossible to choose from this genre...........Historic re-creations such as:

The Longest Day
The Great Escape
ALL Quiet on the Western Front ( Original Edition) For serious collectors only.
A Bridge to Far
Torbruk

The you get the Yankee stuff.........which depicts them winning every in sight!
Actually to date the US as a nation has never manged to win any war single handedly! Luckily we were able to win the Battle of Britain (Thanks to ACM Sir Hugh Dowding)..............while the Americans were still letting the Japanese take photographs of their beautiful harbors...............hehehehehe

Platoon
Blackhawk Down
The Deer Hunter
Apocalypse Now
FMJ
and a million more

:lol: :lol:

My favourites are.....in no particular order.....

Glory
Platoon
Blackhawk Down
Full Metal Jacket
The Longest Day

:jedi:

funny thing that...................Glory is a super movie and has a moral to it as well................but, it is not that highly regarded for some obscure reason:omg:

Oh, boy - there were so many good ones...

I agree - Glory was wonderful. I don't care what the critics said, it's one of my favorites.

Platoon, We Were Soldiers, Black Hawk Down, Braveheart (historical, but plenty of battles), Windtalkers (if you can get past John Wu's action sequences), Air America - all worth a bowl of popcorn.

what about the Band of Brothers Series, great war movies

Band of Brothers.....................is a superb and a factual account of the 101st as they made their way across europe:thumbup:

There you have it =) hehe
only 1 more to add Where Eagles Dare
