tigerland is good, but theres no war in the movie its a boot camp movie

i vote for full metal jacket, stanley kubrick is one of the best directors of all time, but you are forgetting Apocalypse Now from Coppola, that is a great movie to, and platoon, deer hunter, its a hard choice.
and if we are counting with the great epics, of course braveheart is there

Saving Private Ryan ✅

without doubt Black Hawk down, the most reakistic war movie ever!!

THE LORD OF THE RINGS THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link already addressed Commando so I won't rehash it. Look above for Link's comment.

Top Gun is a movie about a hot shot pilot who's off to flying school for the 'elite' in the Navy. It's a more of a drama/romance than it is about anything else. Included in that would be Cruise's character's "self discovery" which is brought on by a fatal accident. Aside from the last 8 minutes of the movie, there is nothing at all concerning a war or anything involving any war.

First Blood is a movie about an unstable Vietnam Vet after he's returned 'home'. Absolutely no war going on here either.

Now, don't take it personally. Just because I pointed out that these aren't war movies doesn't mean that they aren't good movies. I'm not commenting at all on the quality of the films, just the content and none have "war" content to them. Sorry.

my question here will be, do you mean Patton or Platoon??

Schindlers list. it is an amazing film for the time it was made (1993) it is brilliant

In my opinion its apocalypse now, with paths of glory and platoon in a close second. And your opinions?

Apocolypse Now, and Platoon are good.
Why is Zulu not on the list??
Lawrence of Arabia is Basically a war movie.
I think you only really included modern wars.
From the list above, by far the most underrated movie was casualties of war, so I have to vote for that one. It's so awful what they did to the girl, and it's still amazing to think that the americans supportrd this war, even though what they did in Vietnaam was no better than what the nazi's did in WW2.
BTW, America never actually admitted defeat in Vietnaam. they only called it a 'tactical withdrawal', so technically, the war never officially ended.

are we really doing this again? this was just at the top of the list maybe 3 weeks ago!

ZULU! ZULU! ZULU! ZULU!

I think Patton is the best war movie ever (its not up there). Followed closely by Platoon.

Platoon is easily the best war movie ever.

platoon

Of the ones listed,mine is Patton.Platoon is right up there though.Another one that should be listed is FULL METAL JACKET.My personal favorite is Flight of the Intruder.A very under rated but very good war movie.

Full Metal Jacket

FULL METAL JACKET! How can that not be on the list?

Blackhawk Down? 😬
