The best war movies/series

[pHILSANITY07]

Tora Tora Tora, also Midway deserve credit because they are good considering when they we're made. Also one of my favorites is By Dawns Early Light.

Apocalypse Now

[mstng86]

hell yeah, excellent movie I forgot about because of the era. Dances with Wolves was also a great movie, just a little too romantic for the list though.

I dont consider dww a war movie, but i guess you can make an argument for it. Another movie from the same time period, Glory, is one of my all time favorites.

The Patriot is probably my favorite. That era of History and the warfare that occurred then has always fascinated me. Men lined up and literally faced each other on the battle field. Those who were literate were eligible to become officers, and the educated members of the gentry watched the action from a hilltop post with little to no fear of dying. Talk about real time strategy.

A lot of good additions in there. Some of which I'm ashamed to have forgotten.

Nah... that list, just like any other, should be a living document, making additions and subtractions as you go.

It'll take a while for it to get on a "greatest" list, but I'm sure Hurt Locker will be up there someday as well. Shit looked real to me, but what do I know?

You listed a lot of great movies and it's hard to rank them. Although, I'd probably remove your number 10 and put Tora Tora Tora somewhere in the top 10.

If I had to chose a #1, it would probably be Band of Brothers - mainly because of their interviews with the real people putting it over the top for me.
