I have been in war movie mood right here lately. Especially world war 2 and nam'. Some of the ones I have seen last month and this month so far:

Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Band Of Brothers (HBO miniseries)

other movies I have enjoyed:
U-571
Saving private ryan
Schindler's List
Full Metal Jacket

any other good war movies out that are worth watching?

12/6/2005 2:57:41 PM

Enemy at the Gates

12/6/2005 3:08:13 PM

an oldie but a goodie: Paths of Glory
and Good Morning Vietnam

12/6/2005 3:09:24 PM

seriously

Enemy at the Gates

the opening sequence is the best of any war movie

12/6/2005 3:17:41 PM

Three Kings

12/6/2005 3:25:20 PM

Black Hawk Down is newer but still one of my favorites.

12/6/2005 3:28:03 PM

Band of brothers is by far my favorite war "movie" even though it's a mini series

12/6/2005 3:28:55 PM

The Thin Red Line was WWII and great I thought.

Other than World War movies I actually liked The Patriot (Revolutionary War) pretty good.

12/6/2005 3:33:32 PM

The Great Escape
V: Victory at Sea
Life is Beautiful
Braveheart
Troy

I'd wish they'd make a movie on Napoleon or the Russian Revolution.

Oh, and for TV, Hogan's Heroes, hands down

12/6/2005 3:57:40 PM

the guns of navarone

12/6/2005 4:38:35 PM

Aside from those that have been already mentioned:
Stalingrad and Der Untergang (both are German made movies)


oh and a new category, Worst war movies ever made: Pearl Harbor

12/6/2005 4:45:50 PM

Das Boot

12/6/2005 5:02:41 PM

im gonna have to go with the deer hunter

12/6/2005 5:41:21 PM

patton, though its more of a character study than a true war movie.

[Edited on December 6, 2005 at 5:41 PM. Reason : .]

12/6/2005 6:25:20 PM

12/6/2005 7:10:50 PM

I can't believe no one has mentioned Glory, the best civil war movie ever made.

12/6/2005 9:52:01 PM

the longest day

12/7/2005 10:09:18 AM

Saving Private Ryan,
We were Soilders,
Enemy at the gates,
Full Metal Jacket,
Apocalypse Now,
Platoon,
Band Of Brothers,
Braveheart,
Troy,


Windtalkers is the worst movie I have ever seen simply because it failed at so many levels. I would watch almost anything over that.

12/7/2005 10:38:37 AM

What most everyone else is saying, plus....

Kelley's Heroes!!!


Troy sucked, btw

12/7/2005 11:21:45 AM

I second Das Boot.

12/7/2005 12:18:59 PM

They've already been said, but I'll echo my favorites:

Band of Brothers
Apocalypse Now
The Great Escape
Saving Private Ryan

12/7/2005 12:36:07 PM

Sergeant York, even though there isn't much fighting. Gary Cooper is the man.
The Great Escape. Steve McQueen. Enough said.

12/7/2005 1:06:22 PM

Star Wars.

12/7/2005 1:13:39 PM

I guess that qualifies as a war movie.

12/7/2005 1:14:32 PM

All Quiet on the Western Front is suppossed to be a pretty good movie. I can't name too many movies about WWI.

12/7/2005 1:15:10 PM

^ The Muppets Kill Franz Ferdinand is pretty good.

12/7/2005 1:15:59 PM

bridge on the river kwai

12/7/2005 1:17:06 PM

Joyeux Noël is supposed to be a really good WWI movie, but i don't think it's over here yet, anyhow.

12/7/2005 3:39:11 PM

I'll add The Green Berets to the list too. Its a bit long and drawn out but its got the Duke in it.

doh its already on the list. but oh well

[Edited on December 7, 2005 at 3:59 PM. Reason : a]

12/7/2005 3:59:24 PM

Hot Shots!!!!!!!!!!

12/7/2005 4:04:52 PM

Enemy At the gates was really good.

Im half through Der Untergang , very good so far.

"the longest day"

Absolutely my favorite. I can't believe it took that long to be listed.

Since Catch-22 hasn't been listed, I'll throw it out there...it's not as good as the book, but it's a decent movie.

12/8/2005 12:38:45 PM

the good the bad and the ugly

12/8/2005 2:12:26 PM

enemy at the gates was more fiction and drama than i would like to see in a real war movie

The Thin Red Line has been overlooked
