Platoon is tops definitely but very very very close second for me is Saving Private Ryan. I saw this over the weekend. Why hadn't I seen it before? Awesome awesome awesome. What an absolute adrenelin rush. |

may be... anyways: , definitely. a true masterpiece, that's the word. no war movie has ever moved me like this one. i really tend to think that nothing ever comes close to it... |

shaving ryan's privates.... oh wait! that isnae a war film |
||||||||
|
|

My favourite war film is probably Cross of Iron with James Coburn. Then The DeerHunter. |
||||||||

i saw "the pianist" today. excellent movie and good acting. adriens brody really deserved that oscar! |
||||||||
|

|

ooh oh!! *get excited* Dirty Dozen is a good one! |

jacobs ladder. don't know if its yr typical war movie but, won't ruin it 4 those who haven't seen it, just say its a must watch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Yes 'jacobs ladder' was a great movie with Tim Robbins. It was on TV the other day. I saw it on video back in the eighties. Very spooky and dark. It was on TV but only realised what it was when it finished. Real shame I would have like to have watched it again 'cause I can't remember it too well. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
no you didn't, it was made in 1990 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it is a lil confusing till you get to the end. worth watching again i think. |
||||||||

Hamburger Hill is not the BEST, but it is damn fine. I love that film. |

earthleakage, Well time passes and your loose track of it. Seemed a bloody long time ago that we got it out on video though. Still I was close. Come on 1990 thats only one year on from 1989. |

platoon is a bit cheesy for my liking. Saving private Ryan would be a perfect film if they edited out the first and last 10 minutes. deer hunter is good but it has that irritating 40 minute wedding scene in it. Sigh. Once we were soldiers is pretty cool, if you can get over mel gibson. Apocalypse now is too long, full metal jacket is good, havent seen hamburger hill in ages, jacobs ladder is ace [and tim robbins' hair is hilarious] Didnt like the pianist, that brody fucks me off no end. I think overall i'd say saving private ryan, aphextriplet edit |
||||||||

|
|
ok ill let you off this time! it is a good film though. but is it about war? is it not about passage from one life to the next? |
||||||||
|

catch-22 is an excellent book/film |

johnny got his gun is awesome [book] |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
isn't saving private ryan that flick with the real graphic start as they storm normandy? if so in my eyes i think thats the best part of the film, so realistic n that guy that is slumped with his guts hanging out screamin for his mum. reality of war, think its brilliant, i know a lot of people don't want to see that but thats what happens. |
||||||||

yep |

Saving Private Ryan... Paths of Glory... The Deerhunter... Schindlers List... Zulu, hah... It would have to be DR. STRANGELOVE or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb! YAH! :D |

Full Metal Jacket! man that movie is nutty. SPR is great in that it blew open the real horrors of war on a grand scale. ------------ Lust: nice to see you back around here, I had wondered if you left forever. Are you still with SpookyLuke? |

Full Metal Jacket Apocolypse Now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hot Shots Part Deux then it would have to be a close call between Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Saving private ryan didn't do it for me. I can't remember anything about that movie except a few people being shot and somebody blowing up. wank wank |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
full metal jacket usually i hate war movies, that one is an exception |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, tough choice...but i'd say: apacalypse now, the original. redux is pretty lame imo, the extra bits spoil the flow of the film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only bit I really remember is the part with the German soldier sticking the knife into the American. Top class stuff it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
platoon and pvt. ryan are too cheesy..."tell me i'm a good man!" full metal jacket is excellent and i cant believe noone mentioned black hawk down, which is the most visceral war film i've ever seen. its like aliens but they swapped xenomorphs with samalis. tuff |

war on terror ¨!!! |

from the ones i've seen i'd go with Apocalypse Now. schindler' list is a very dramatic one. only more a documentary instead of an actual movie, me thinks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't seen many war flicks but Saving Private Ryan is one of my favourite films. Would've been nice to see a few Brits in there though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
enemy at the gates does it for me, it's just so 'out there' and overdone, it's awesome and full metal jacket is great too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to add the Pianist to my list. Also, if you had asked me 15 years ago, I might have said Commando. Kinda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to say, i think rambo; first blood is pretty damn good, it isnt exactly a war film, but its about the effects of it. |

Jason vs Freddy !!!!!!!!!! |

I don't class Apocalypse Now and Schindler's List as war films, more films against a backdrop of war. My nomination for best war film - Tora! Tora! Tora! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan (much maligned, it seems), Enemy at the Gates and Apocalypse now, but like Danbrusca said, that one is iffy. And Hot Shots Part Deux was pretty hilarious when I saw it 10 years ago... probably still is. |

Enemy at the Gates was bad-ass. |

Glory is a pretty damn good war film, anyone else seen it? |
