The Official Best War/History Movie Thread

Place you're unimportant opinions here. 😠 😕 😛

My faves:
Platoon
Deer Hunter
Saving Private Ryan
And most recently:
Jarhead

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.

One word: Glory.

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

1. I never said you were a bad guy for liking it. hell, I loved the movie, made me cry to.

2. Im pretty sure he wa sin it, but I could be wrong. shaved black guys tend to look the same, especially when young.

Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, The Patriot, Rules of Engagement, All Quiet on the Western Front, etc. etc. etc.

All Quiet on the Western Front was good... I loved it.

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

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

The Barn of Mr Slaton: The Fifth Dance of Vivec

Platoon for me. I just really liked that movie.

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

come and see

my top picks..
Jarhead (Jake Gyllenhaal)
Tears of the Sun (Bruce Willis)
Black Hawk Down (Eric Bana)
Saving Pvt Ryan (TOm Hanks)
The Alamo (Billy Bob Thornton)
Troy (Brad Pitt)

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.

The Pianist
The Good, the Bad, and the ugly (not your typical war film)
Full metal Jacket
The Deer Hunter
Platoon
Saints and Soldiers
Spartacus

I heard Red Violin was good... I need to see it.

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.
