I thought Gladiator was one of the best. Not accurate on the history, but it was GREAT historical fiction. They did an excellent job in my opinon.

Samuel L Jackson isn't in Glory....And why exactly am I a bad guy for liking it? (If I understood the sarcasm involved)

I've always thought Gladiator is one of the most overrated movies ever.

My favorite ones are: Apocalypse Now, Platoon and The Deer Hunter. The Deer Hunter being number one.

FTW!?!?!? the book was great but that movie sucks ass. especially when they throw a grenade at the guys clipping the wire.

Also i'd like to add Born on the fourth of July.

Yes, I admit, the book was better... But for some reason, the movie stroke a cord with me.

Platoon for me. I just really liked that movie.

I haven't seen All Quiet on the Western Front, but the book was outstanding.

That's a weird list - and an even weirder thread title - but out of the choices given, I'd say 'Apocalypse Now' is the best by far.

Paths of Glory beats out all of those films, IMO.

Out of the films listed, I'd say either FMJ or Platoon, I love both.
