favorite war movie?
 

im sure this has been covered butt****it. For me its Black Hawk Down. I know some of you are gonna say wwhhhaaaa. I had an uncle that was in the conflict and not only that but the book of the real story was sick... I understand Josh Hartnett's lame ass was the lead character but it was still a badass and imo one of the most UNDERAPPRECIATED war movies of all time.. what do ya say?

Full metal jacket

Yup, not much beat Full Metal Jacket. That tops my list.

Kelly's Heroes

FMJ

yeh FMJ is pretty sick. thats my second. kelly's heroes was always a fav. i like it cuz its a different plot . not the regular war movie scenario

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Apocalypse Now
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. Platoon
5. Gladiator

+1. i like how he eliminated all 5 enemies in in one day, probably in the span of one hour.

I love Full Metal Jacket, but this isn't even a close call:

The Longest Day.

Wayne, Mitchum, Fonda, Connery and several more. Easily my favorite war movie, I watch it every Memorial Day.

The Big Lebowski.


The Gulf War was mentioned. :D

Never Been Discussed

LMAO

Honorable mention: Patton

My favorite war movie is not really a movie. It's a documentary called, Baker Boys: Inside the surge. It's has a very personal meaning to me.

As far a actual war movie goes. I would have to say little known, 84 Charlie Mopic tops the list.

Saving Private Ryan


Oh, and The Patriot.

The 'ghost scene' is incredible.

sorry i wasnt completely technical for you incompetent aholes.

Great Escape

A Bridge Too Far

Green zone! Great acting and behind the scenes advising.

and Shawshank Redemption

Lawrence of Arabia

Now there is something we can agree on. Great movie. Many a great book has been written about Market Garden as well.

In The Army Now
Delta Farce

shit that's no Dambusters

ILSA SHE WOLF OF THE SS

Pearl Harbor would have been awesome if they ditched the whole love triangle bullshit


As it is, see my avatar

Black Hawk Down.

I love every damn scene with Delta in it.

Patton
Kellys Heros
The Great Escape

The Longest Day

You beat me to it.

I can not watch this film without choking up at the end, no matter how many times I see it.

What the CP opinion of Raid: Redemption as a war movie?

Full metal jacket with my friend Adam baldwin.

The one where the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

trolling

Schindler's List

Saving private Ryan and no other war movie is close.

Best war movie no ones ever heard of?

"When Trumpets Fade" An HBO movie

Badass- great acting - killer war movie, based on the battle of Hurtgen forest during the bulge

Check it out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZNvbLSEqt0

Probably doesn't count, but Band of Brothers is pretty damn good

Glory, Platoon, The Patriot

Also... Hurt locker and if you're into documentaries, restrepo

Saving Private Ryan
Full metal jacket
Platoon
We were Soldiers
U-571

Saving Private Ryan and We were Soldiers for action.


Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now for entertainment value.

Well, it should. It's better than any of the rest of them.

Would Act of Valor qualify??

Amazing special effects and realism action.

Yeah it's pretty darned good. Anytime one of the cable stations plays the series back to back I start watching it and can't stop.

Iron Eagle. /thread

Not a movie, But Band of Brothers is hands down the best, IMO. That's one series that I could watch repeatedly without it getting old.

I can't pick just one: Band of Brothers and Stalag 17.

I remember the first time I saw it - walked out of the theater in a daze. Phenomenal film. In contrast, I saw Born on the Fourth of July the next night and was mostly just annoyed by it.

Saving Private Ryan
Platoon
Hamburger Hill
Born on the 4th of July (arguable a war movie)

I forgot about Glory. Excellent damn movie. Absolutely excellent. It's the Saving Private Ryan but in the Civil War

I like the beginning of it. The middle is a bit slow, and the end is interesting. But I could totally understand d the annoyance factor.

Of the first four you listed, I like Hamburger Hill the best. Saving Private Ryan had a great beginning and great ending, but the middle was meh. Never cared for Platoon at all. And Born on the 4th of July just went on too long (of course, when I saw it I was still on active duty, and that's not really going to be a military fan favorite).

Apocalypse Now


I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Band if Brothers
Full Metal Jacket

Best "not really a war movie" war movie: A Midnight Clear

That entire scene is insane.


I love it.

Full Metal Jacket
Great Escape
Saving Private Ryan
Platoon

And no vote yet for Gunny Highway!!!???? FOR SHAME!!!!

I'm not gonna get my ass shot off because you don't "habla"

I love Heartbreak Ridge, but I don't consider it to be a war movie - more a movie about military life with a battle thrown in at the end.

I can get on board with that/appreciate that.m

The invasion of Grenada!!!! :)

Don't know that I have a favorite. I like most War movies. But one I haven't seen mentioned is Tora, Tora, Tora.

Yes, how could I forget.


While flipping through TV shows, if I come across Hearbreak Ridge I always end up watching it.
