Best war movie ever!

Re: Best war movie ever!

deffinitely would have to say " A Bridge Too Far". Besides being a three hour long kick ass movie it contained a line up of actors unheard of even to this day .
they go as follows: Robert redford, James Caan, Gene Hackman, Sir lawrence olivier, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery . Also a few big name british actors that i can't name. hell it even had cliff claven off of cheers in it. who happen's to get shot in the face at one point.

Oh and I forgot to mention "GLORY". who can leave that out.

Pearl Harbour was shite!

I just remembered The Pianist, already mentioned, but it is a fantastic movie, one of the best. Adrien Brody did exceptionally well to pull off his character, very heartfelt I thought.

Peloton (Platoon)

Re: Best war movie ever!

braveheart and the gladiator are epic movies and not war ones (although they show nothin but war) because they speak of some heroes...

so Platoon and Saving private Ryan r most deffinately 2 of the best war movies...i also like the bridge of the river kwai...

Re: Best war movie ever!

Saving private Ryan is the most touchy war movie.....Even the veterans who lived the war were crying when they watched it.

Re: Best war movie ever!

Many of the old war movies are fantastik, although they may seem a little dated by today's standards, for example....

The longest Day
Battle of the Bulge
Midway
Patton
Bridge over the River Qui (best picture for some year)
and espeically, Das Boot. If you guys have never seen it, check it out, its all in german, but subtitled, about a german U boat.

Other more recent really good ones that I didn't see mentioned (I only read about the first 20 posts)

Glory
Memphis Belle
The Last Samuri
Top Gun (when you were 8 years old, that movie was the shit)
War Games (does simulated war count?)

How about Gone with the Wind or the Sound of Music?

Re: Best war movie ever!

my vote goes to apocalypse now.
i mean francis ford coppola and marlon brando do vietnam. . .
that`s the recipe for intensity and isn`t that what war movies are all about.
