[Violator79]

Saving Private Ryan
Das Boot
Patton
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket

And Inglorious Basterds, to be released this August. It's Tarantino's WW2 epic and needless to say it'll be good!!

Saving Private Ryan, hands down. I cry every time I see it. Also Band of Brothers is a great miniseries.

 

[No_Man]

I don't know if its the "best" war movie, but I've always loved Glory.

 

[The Joker]

I liked The Thin Red Line, but I'll go with Full Metal Jacket.

Watch Hamburger Hill, and tell me you don't feel like you just fought your way up that hill.
Hell of a war flick, closest thing to hurtin' and dirty from fighting to survive for a few hours more.
Most every flick mentioned here had a comment to make worth listening to.

 

[Kil4Thril]

Good movies listed here. I'd like to add also 12 O'Clock High with Gregory Peck.

Saving Private Ryan and a German movie called Downfall. Downfall is a very realistic movie about Hitler's last days. I don't know the actor's name but he was the most beleivable Hitler I'ver ever seen. I highly recommend to those who are interested in WWII and haven't seen it.

I thought I had posted this on the old thread but I guess I didn't.

Anzio
The Longest Day
Patton
Gettysburg
Battle Of The Bulge
Saving Private Ryan
Letters From Iwo Jima
We Were Soldiers
Midway
Tora!Tora!Tora!
Platoon

 

[No_Man]

Another one that is VERY good and rarely mentioned is Joyeux Noel. It's a powerful, semi-factual drama (bits and pieces of real events put together into a fictional plot).

 

[titsrock]

Where Eagles Dare -- does that one fit in as a war movie or more of an espionage thriller?

Lawrence of Arabia -- war movie?

 

[Baill Inneraora]

Gettysburg

I thought Gettysburg was good too. The prequel has horrible. I don't know if the sequel ever got made.

Hamburger Hill is another war movie I forgot about. The most realistic Vietnam movie made, along with Platoon.

Saving Private Ryan and a German movie called Downfall. Downfall is a very realistic movie about Hitler's last days. I don't know the actor's name but he was the most beleivable Hitler I'ver ever seen. I highly recommend to those who are interested in WWII and haven't seen it.

Bruno Ganz played Hitler and his performance is godlike. He had to have been possessed in that role.

Gettysburg

Best Civil War movie ever made. I've been there at least 10 times in my life and it's my home away from home.

 

[NavyBlue]

Saving Private Ryan, follow by Full Metal Jacket
