The best war movies/series

[pHILSANITY07]

Mike whats the pot up to me now 300? Im a school teacher. I teach english composition in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of the baseball team in the springtime. Back home I tell people what I do and that figures. But here its a big, big mystery. So I guess I've changed. Sometimes I've wonder if I've changed so much that my wife isn't going to recognize me whenever I get back to her. And how I'll ever explain days like today.

Uh Ryan, I dont know anything about Ryan I dont care. The man means nothing to me its just a name. But if, you know if going to Romel so that way he can go home. If that earns me the right to go back to my wife well then, then thats my misson.

You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? Alright, alright I wont stop you. I'll even put in the paper work. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.

If I HAD to make a top 10 it'd probably look like this

1. The Pacific
2. Sands of Iwo Jima
3. Black Hawk Down
4. A Bridge Too Far
5. The Green Beret
6. We Were Soldiers Once
7. The Hunt for Red October
8. Glory
9. Generation Kill
10. Red Dawn (only 10th because it's WW3 and that never happened/hasn't happened yet)

schindlers list and saving private ryan are my 2 favs.

Pacific Theater : Guadalcanal.

Well hell then. I have only seen a few scenes and it was a long time ago.

Jarhead was a pretty good movie; realistic in that nothing happened. A war movie with no action.


Has Full Metal Jacket been mentioned for Nam?
Good Morning Vietnam has to count as a war movie, right?

1941 for a good war comedy.
Stripes was mentioned.

Master and Commander; though I guess that was not war so much as just a naval movie.

Does Braveheart count? King Arther? Troy?

Fuck. The Alamo, both the new one and the John Wayne version. We live in Texas, how the fuck did we miss The Alamo?

They should be redoing All Quiet on the Western Front for film.

If you think there isnt anything on WW1, try to name a good Korean war film outside of MASH.

Pork Chop Hill BAM

Flyboys is about ww1. i liked the ww1 scenes from legends of the fall too. There's another movie about ww1 that i really liked, but i cant remember the name of it at the moment. it was a foreign film.

[Geor!]

Sgt. York, All Quiet On the Western Front, The Blue Max, The Lost Battalion.

"Classics" bore me to death. Need something from the 70s or newer.

Last time i checked, Platoon and Hamburger Hill dont belong in a list about the european theater of WWII



I would add Memphis Belle to the list of European WW2 films.

Ha, I missed the Europe front. Fine then, they are still good war movies.

WWII movies get the most treatment from Hollywood, but what are some good WWI movies? Hell, are there any?!

I know this is probably going to up my gay points but I did see Legends of the Fall, and I thought the WWI scenes were pretty good.
