favorite war movie?

[SDKCCHIEFS]

im sure this has been covered buttfuckit. 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?

[FlaChief58]

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

[DJ's left nut]

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.

[notorious]

The Big Lebowski.


The Gulf War was mentioned. :D

[KCUnited]

Never Been Discussed

[LiveSteam]

Never Been Discussed

LMAO

[DJ's left nut]

Honorable mention: Patton

[Abba-Dabba]

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.

[hometeam]

Saving Private Ryan


Oh, and The Patriot.

The 'ghost scene' is incredible.

[SDKCCHIEFS]

So now you are changing the thread topic?

[Baby Lee]

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

[big nasty kcnut]

Full metal jacket with my friend Adam baldwin.

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

[chiefzilla1501]

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

[58-4ever]

Glory, Platoon, The Patriot

[chiefzilla1501]

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

[R8RFAN]

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

[notorious]

Saving Private Ryan and We were Soldiers for action.


Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now for entertainment value.

[Frazod]

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

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

[Trivers]

Would Act of Valor qualify??

Amazing special effects and realism action.

[mlyonsd]

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

[Dayze]

Iron Eagle. /thread

[Mizzou_8541]

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.

[Crush]

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

[Frazod]

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.

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.

[Dayze]

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

[Dayze]

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.

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.

[Frazod]

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

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).

[TimeForWasp]

Apocalypse Now


I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

[underEJ]

Band if Brothers
Full Metal Jacket

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

[notorious]

Apocalypse Now


I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

That entire scene is insane.


I love it.

[DJJasonp]

Full Metal Jacket
Great Escape
Saving Private Ryan
Platoon

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

[Dayze]

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

[Frazod]

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.

[Dayze]

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

[DJJasonp]

The invasion of Grenada!!!! :)

[Chief Roundup]

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

[notorious]

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.

Yes, how could I forget.


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

[patteeu]

+1 for Kelly's Heroes

Lots of other great movies mentioned though.

[SDKCCHIEFS]

band of brothers and the pacific are both badass series i have them on blu ray and watch them both at least once a year.
