What's Your Favorite War Movie? Vote!

My personal fav is Braveheart.
It has some moments that are
VERY hard to watch.
Saving Private Ryan was a pure
masterpiece. I can't believe it
didn't get the Oscar for Best
Picture. eek!
Pearl Harbor had great special effects,
but the first hour was very boring.

Tricky. My favourites are The Longest Day, A Bridge too Far, Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line.

Oh, Aces High, of course.

Difficult one. I suppose for me it would be a tie between Schindler's list and Apocalypse Now. Honorary mentions to The Killing Fields, The Longest Day and the superb Enemy At The Gates (The opening sequence to that makes Saving Private Ryan brilliant opening 15 minutes look tame in comparison). Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare,.....there are just too many great war films!! eek!

If you count Schindler's List then that goes straight to the top of my list.

The best WW2 movie, hands down is Thin Red Line. Malick is a genious. Tigerland was ok, not quite as good as i would have liked so the best 'nam movie has to be either Platoon or Full Metal. laughing out loud

I think "The Patriot" was the best war movie. Even though the thought of the men that died during those actual battles knew they were gonna die. That haunts me for life. It was like they were just a human sheild, and a layer was being brought down one at a time. But at least it ended well. I found it to be touching and filled with everything. Romance, Comedy, Adventure, and even a little of suspense. I believe this to be the greatest war movie of all. For it resembles not only the bravery of our country but our freedom as well.

Soldiers who died in the wars for our home.
I Salute You. God Bless All!

I enjoyed Good Morning Vietnam, I realise that doesn't focus much on the war, but then thats one of the things I like about it. If not then Platoon, as I loved the soundtrack to that. I'm not really a realistic interpretation of war person

Schindlers List, without ANY doubt.

I didn't like Saving Private Ryan, it was too americanised, with the american flag in the background in the end, and the way the americans had such noble deaths, while the germans died like animals. it just made me sick.

I would have to say SPR and Schindler's List the end of that movie was very sad.

The Thin Red Line is the most boring, dull, overblown prententious pile of crap I've ever seen disguising itself as a War movie.Terence Malick should have stuck to gardening or whatever he was doing all those years he was away because he shouldn't be allowed near a film set.

It's the only film I've ever been to, where I saw people leave before the end. Watching people leave was more interesting than the film. At least they didn't do it in slow motion with exotic birds flying in the background.




SPR and Braveheart are good but they re-wrote history.

I'd choose The Great Escape and Zulu as the two best war films I've ever seen.
