Patton had terrible combat scenes, and by terrible I mean some of the worse I have seen in a war flick. It was a good biography of Patton during the war, not really a a good war movie imo.

The Lighthorsemen was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. It probably isn't now, but I still like it a lot.

It's about a regiment of Australian mounted infantry fighting in/around Gaza in WWI.

Band of Brothers should not be in this running. I love the mini-series I do. I have watched it over and over again. But its a 10 part mini-series. Of course it will have deeper character development, deeper plot lines, deeper historic accuracy. 2-3 films don't stand a chance.


BoB is in a league of its own. Now back to the voting.

"daniel day lewis seemed so fucking normal in that movie i wonder what kind of kooky shit he was doing when the cameras weren't rolling to stay in character probably eating raw deer meat or something"

My dad was in Asheville when they filmed this. He said he was walking around Asheville in wardrobe with his rifle, practice aiming with it and stuff
