Best war movie ever

[Squirrel]

Sgt York is one of my favorites.

[Mr. Scot]

Of what I've seen, probably "Sergeant York". "Patton" is great too, though. As is "Saving Private Ryan".

[PanthaSan]

Black Hawk Down because it involves 3 of my old units (Ranger Bn., 160th SOAR and 1st SFOD - Delta). I get a bit sad but it pretty much accurately portrays how that type of fighting (UrbanCombat) goes down.

Also I like Gallipoli...

[STIFFPAWED]

We Were Soldiers, Apocolypse Now and Hamburger Hill are three of my favorites.

Kelly's Heros

[MadHatter]

I still like "The Dirty Dozen"

The first half of FMJ was artwork. Kubrick was a genius. The second half showed the contrast and how much of war is just standing around BSing but also dealing with some messed up crap (the sniper). It was definitely a drop off from the intensity of the first half, but man, that drill sergeant was one of the best war movie characters ever. I mean, one could say SPR had a huge dropoff from it's opening half hour, too.

You know that the movie PATTON was responsible for the original Mid East Peace Treaty, rgiht? (OK, Jimmy Carter had a hand in it!)

Jimmy Carter had Sadat and Begin at Camp David. and that night showed the original Patton Movie. (This had some bloody scenes in it, tamed down a lot for TV)

Finally an aid stood up and pointed to the scene!

"THIS! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO STOP!" He yelled!

It was at that Camp David meeting that the original Mid-East Peace Treaty was hammered out and signed!

This is the first and only time I know if that a War movie brought about peace!

Patton Wins hand down. End of of discussion!

[Purity-Control]

It wasn't a movie but Generation Kill was my favorite.

Movie wise.

Blackhawk Down

SPR

FMJ

Was not impressed with The Hurt Locker at all, no different then Top Gun to me, it seemed more fantasy then an actual portrayal of war. It was Sh*t IMO

[bLACKpANTHER]

The Last Samurai

Saving Private Ryan

Mighty Ducks..

[Bob NC]

The Guns of Navarone

Or

The Great Escape

[g5jamz]

Hamburger Hill

Saving Private Ryan

Zulu

Band of Brothers (whole series)

Black Hawk Down

Out of all those...probably a tie at top between BoB, SPR, and BHD.

[KillerKat]

Saving Private Ryan, best movie ever.

[JPPT1974]

Don't forget Platoon!
