The best war movies/series

[BlackGT]

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.

Last of the Mohicans may fall under the category of too romantic, but still a good flick...

Two that I haven’t seen mentioned are…

Piece of Cake
This was originally aired in the States on PBS (Masterpiece Theater) as a mini series.

And…

Dark Blue World
A relatively unheard of Czech film.

Also enjoyed tears of the sun and the first behind enemy lines.

Sorry guys but I need to come in here and /thread with






Restrepo

This.

All time favorite is Black Hawk Down, a lot of shit changed because of that one battle. I just wish the movie showed some more truth to the situation, but I doubt DoD would have allowed that.

When life gives you lemons .... take them. Free Shit is cool.

[CJ-95GT]

I don't thing anyone said, "By Dawn's Early light" or "War Games". Neither are front line action type movies, but both have interesting story lines if a nuclear war ever breaks out.

[petyweestraw]

No one mentioned enemy at the gates?
Or tears of the Sun.

When life gives you lemons .... take them. Free Shit is cool.

Seems the books are always better lol. I have nothing to add, but going through this thread, might be a war movie marathon this weekend

I can not believe nobody has not put "Apocolypse Now" as there favorite and that is by far the best "War" movie EVER made.

Just finished watching this on Netflix Streaming, hadn't seen it in years but it's one of my favorite war movies. Pretty good cast, acting, and plot.
