Mine is Das boot its a classic i love it seen it soo many times . I saw abit of The longest day which was good too .

whats your favorite war movie?

I have to go for "Das Boot" also, even though those German bas*ards bombed my grandmothers house the ending made me feel so sad for them. These were normal guys only carrying out instructions.

das boot is ace indeed

der untergang (downfall) is also tremendous

brotherhood, in my opinion, stands out as a masterpiece....

Full Metal Jacket

Probably 'Starship Troopers'. Seriously.

Hey I didn't know that sci fi war movies counted. Then I changing mine. Aliens, and it is a war movie.

APOCALYPSE NOW

Nuff Said

ya ^^ heard its a great movie . Including platton

Rent It/Buy it ......NOW
You will not regret it

well thats how i like to watch it

do u live in a jungle ??lolz

The classic Das Boot, Stalingrad and Downfall are in a league of there own.

As for war fiction I would go with Cross of Iron.

Favorite war movie, eh?

I want to say, "The Dirty Dozen". If you would consider it, anyway.

Platoon

Brotherhood, a movie about the Korean civil war. I rarely feel sad at a movie but I did with this one, it is absolutely astounding.

"The Thin Red Line" (1998), unless you count "The New World" as one.

Many: apocalypse now, platton, paths of glory, full metal jacket, patton, the longest day, the thin red line, etc.

Commando lol "i'll be back bennet" Bennet: " i'll be waiting john"

Full Metal Jacket
Platoon
Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Saving Private Ryan


all of those are damn good.

Probably Saving Private Ryan.

Apocalypse Now is beyond them all in "masterpiece" credibility. By a long way.

Full Metal Jacket, Platoon can be enjoyable, but not as wonderful as the Great Escape.

Apocalypse Now is probably my favourite.

Though Jarhead is up there for me.. it showed a different aspect to war than other films of the genre.

for sheer virtuosity, saving private ryan. people were shitting their pants about the children of men cinematography, when the best sequences were just diet versions of saving private ryan.

Saving Private Ryan, awesome. I haven't seen Flags of our Fathers yet, but I think it will be good.

It amazes me that nobody ever mentions Flight of The Intruder when discussing favorite war movies.Its not near as well known as the classics like Platton Apocalypse Now and Full Meatl Jacket so people usually dont think of it.I myself forgot to mention that movie for a long time when these discussions about favorite war movies came up because it never gets mentioned.Took me a long time to remember that film since it did not do well at the box office.You all should see it.I think it is easily by far maybe not the best one.theres lots fo really good ones,but its by far the most EXCITING one in my opinion and very well done.

Band of brothers is my favorite ware movie series depiction.

The deer hunter and BOFJ are probably the most succesfull in the way of highlighting the effects that war can have on an individual.

Troy and braveheart are my favorite historical fantastical war flicks

Empire of the sun is also up there on my list aswell

mine is saving private ryan

Saving Private Ryan

Glory

Saving Private Ryan is the best.

Enemy at the Gates is pretty good too.

Saving Private Ryan is definitely my favorite. But recently I watched Apocalypse Now, and it was amazing, to say the least. Other favorites of mine are Jarhead, Platoon, and Full Metal Jacket. Jarhead isnt as good as the others, but I like its unique approach

I Can't just pick one there is so many like Imagine, The Us V.S John Lennon, Walk The Line, Breakfast Club, Stand By Me, Rent, Hard Day's Night, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Edward Scissors Hands, Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Producers and Down to Earth.

Apocalypse Now...if you see it as war movie

Of course it is

... None of those are war movies just to let you know.

Sorry if I've disappointed you.

lawl

No doubt it would be saving private Ryan for me, sheer genius

There was a point in my life (round about when i was 14 years old) where I was addicted to watching all the war movies, I think it was when medal of Honor first hit the PS2.

Other favourites would be Apocalypse Now, Pearl Harbour and Windtalkers

Also I haven't heard Windtalkers or Perl Harbour being mentioned, people love to diss Pearl Harbour but for me I found it very entertaining....barr the love story

Platoon
Saving Private Ryan

More of a journey set in a war torn environment.

Meaning it is, essentially, still a war movie. To suggest otherwise would be a bit ridiculous.

Love this movie. Gets better every time!

Gettysburg

well thats how i like to watch it

Authentic.

It truly is an amazing and disturbing experience.

Full Metal Jacket and We were Soldiers tie for me.

oh so many...... schindlers list, bridge on the river kwai, saving P. Ryan, the guns of navarone, enemy at d gates .......

i don't know if Schindler's list and Dr. Strangelove count because they don't deal so much with soldiers in battle, but if they do then those would be at the top of the list. otherwise its Saving private Ryan and Apocalypse Now for me.

Rambo III lol

Paths of Glory.

I like Tears of the Sun by Bruce Willis. Tears of the sun is a 2003 war film directed by Antonie Fuqua depicting a rescue mission by US Navy Seals in the midst of Nigerian civil was The film stars Bruce Willis as the commander of the seal team sent into the middle of this conflict to rescue a US Citizen played by Monica
Bellucci(Dr. Lena Kendricks) who runs a mission in the country side.

Black Hawk Down was cool

I'm not big on war movies so I guess I'd have to say Glory.

Not very fond of war films, but probably Kings Go Forth.

Regards, Yvonne

Apocolaypse Now. All the way one of my favorite movies ever.

"Drop the bomb, exterminate them all!" -scribbled on the paper.

One of my goals in life is to watch Apocalypse Now while stoned

Full Metal Jacket

Black Hawk Down, To End All Wars (more of a POW film), Saving Private Ryan, Tears of the Sun

300

The Dirty Dozen

YES. dirty dozen.

the older war movies are the best ones. even saving private ryan doesn't hold up on repeat viewings, I find...

Starship Troopers

Saving Private Ryan and Flyboys. =/

Oh yeah and Pearl Harbor.

300

What else did you expect me to say?

Heaven and Earth (Kensuke vs Takeda Shingen) ,Ran ( age of Sengoku-Jedai)

Im going to go with Saving Private Ryan for its entertainment value.

'A Bridge too Far' for me. A real tear jerker with a diamond studded cast.

It's hard to pick one but my favorites are The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket and Der Untergang, if it is cosidered a war movie.

Private Ryan
BraveHeart

braveheart or 300...

braveheart

such a hard choice gahh, i loved 300, spr, but i think my favorite still (if its considered a "movie" persay) would be band of brothers

For me, its Platoon and the The Dirty Dozen with Lee Marvin.

War and Peace 1956

100 Classic Movies

I'm weak and weary from pondering this one.

Vietnam War: Full Metal Jacket

Cold War: K-19: The Widowmaker

Civil War (USA): Glory

WWI: Paths of Glory

WWII: Windtalkers

It was tough, and I'd have to rewatch fifty some-odd movies to be certain. Nice topic, though.

"A Bridge too Far"

"Kelly's Heroes"

"Patton"

"Apocalypse Now"

"The Longest Day"

"The Big Red One" - Restored version

"Sink the Bismark"

"Went the Day Well"

"The Eagle has Landed"

"Black Hawk Down"

I think Pearl Harbor is fantastic!
I also enjoyed War of the Worlds, haha.

My favorite war movies are:

WE WERE SOLDIER
PEARL HARBOR

Star Wars 131
