All Time Favorite War Flick

Crazy5711 · 01-30-2004, 10:56 AM

I figure, we've got one for westerns, time to add War flicks. Your Top 5

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Heartbreak Ridge
3. Bridge over the River Kwai
4. Windtalkers
5. Apocolypse Now

This is not in any particular order

"Band of Brothers" was one of the best series (not really a movie, per se) I've seen dealing with war. Really allowed you to get to know the characters and what they went through.

I also like "Platoon" and "We Were Soldiers" was well done. "Apocolypse Now," for all its hype, just doesn't really do it for me.

EBInterceptor · 01-30-2004, 11:09 AM

1. A Bridge Too Far
2. The Longest Day
3. Battle of Britain
4. Gettysburg

dmasini · 01-30-2004, 11:15 AM

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Glory
4. Platoon
5. Black Hawk Down ( I know, I know... Just thought it was a really good movie)
