Best War Movie of All Time

[Dz1]

Full Metal Jacket

 

[ozarkram]

The last bullet.

 

[Tano]

Patton

But Just because I like a few laughs in my movies

The Devil's Brigade
Kelly's Heroes
Dirty Dozen
Stalag 14
Good Morning Vietnam

Other Good Movies

D-Day
Midway (Original)
Battle of the Bulge
Platoon

Probably many others that I have forgotten

 

[badnews]

Tough decision.
There are several I think of. Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Glory... the best war movie I have seen in years is The Outpost, the true story of the battle of COP Keating (battle of Kamdesh).
I also really liked Fury.

 

[NJRamsFan]

Lone Survivor

 

[JonRam99]

Glory. An honest war movie with morals and true heroism.

If you really wanna to get a gut-wrenching perspective on American history, first watch Glory, then watch "Free State of Jones". You will not look at America the same.

Tora........Tora.........Tora.............

 

[Dodgersrf]

The Deer Hunter.

Saving Private Ryan.
The beginning of it was intense.

 

[SWAdude]

Saving Private Ryan.
The beginning of it was intense.

No joke.

I don't even need to describe the one image. They almost did too good of a job.

 

[Akrasian]

It depends on my mood, but an underrated movie is "The Big Red One". Lee Marvin as a tough Seargent leading his men through Africa, D-Day and until victory in Europe. And one of the few non-voice over, non Star Wars movies to show Mark Hamill well.

 

[Memento]

There's an underrated war/horror movie called "Overlord". The plane scene is extremely intense, almost as intense as the Saving Private Ryan Omaha Beach scene.

Is it unrealistic (integrated armed forces)? Yeah. Does it do its job as a horror/war film? Hell yeah.

 

[Mister Sin]

Troy is terrific

300 has its place

Uh....can we include LOTR? I mean there was a massive war going on. Lol

Absolutely! Tolkien actually fought in WW1 (and I believe his son died in that war), and he based the fights in LOTR off of it.

Band Of Brothers

Band Of Brothers

Man, I watched all ten episodes of Band of Brothers. Beautifully done, and it's all true, based on real accounts.

yea , it was written and produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg , same bunch that brought you Saving Private Ryan

Never mind, his son didn't die. I'm certain that another famous author's son died in WW1, but I'm not sure who the author is.

If you haven't read the book I highly recommend it.

 

[Tron]

With Overlord, the thing to note is that it's both a war movie and a horror film. Think Wolfenstein, if you've heard of it.
