I'll be generous about what actually qualifies as a war film, but let's set the ground rule that you can only list films that take place on earth (no wars on Mars or in Narnia) and it must be grounded in realism (no sci-fi).My favorite is probably Kelly's Heroes. It's funny, the characters are great and play off of each other really well, and it pulls off the "war is stupid" theme without rubbing it in your face.
Saving Privet Riyend.As I gamer I know what it did to WW2 shotters.And maybe that one in Irak with the 3 kings and the gold, whatever it was called...
Rambo First Blood, Great Escape, U-571, Hunt for Red October (Cold War Counts!) The Patriot (one of Mel's last Good Films before he went..nuts) Das Boot.
Last of the Mohicans ain't bad.
I fucking love Enemy At the Gates. Especially the sniper battle at the end. Holy shit.
DAS BOOT
Love it too pieces.Then again, the only titles I would call "war movies" that I've seen are this, Failsafe, Platoon, Andersonville, and Inglorious Bastards. At least, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.I haven't even seen Rambo. Yes I know, I suck 20 dicks. I've been thinking about watching The Great Escape and The Great Dictator though.
Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal JacketAlso the Vietnam scene in Forrest Gump.
Haven't seen many, but: Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, and Joyeux Noel (if that counts)>>18076>thinking about watching The Great Dictator thoughDo this. Right now. It owns.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_on_Shangganling_Mountain Battle on Shangganling Mountain In the Korean war in early 1950s, a group of Chinese People's Volunteer soldiers are blocked in Shangganling mountain area for around 23 days. Lack of food, water, ammo and they miss their mother country very much. ;_;
Glory
Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Das Boot, Welcome to Dongmakgol, 9th Company, Joyeux Noel, Up Periscope, Bridge on the River Kwai, Letters From Iwo Jima/Flags of Our Fathers, Thin Red Line, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing, Brotherhood, Buffalo Soldiers, Three Kings, Inglourious Basterds, Zulu, The Hurt Locker, All Quiet On the Western Front...and dozens more.Yeah, I like war films.
>>18175> All Quiet On the Western FrontWhich version? The first? I haven't seen any, but I just finished the book. I want to cry some more.
>>18176The 1930 version is the only cinema version (until the remake... next year?), so probably that version. Haven't seen the made-for-tv version, but I dig Ernest Borgnine.
>>18176The original, although the other isn't the worst thing you'll ever see.
I have a soft spot for Force Ten from Navarone. Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, and Full Metal Jacket are also acceptable.
