saving private ryan
black hawk down
enemy at the gates


if u have "windtalkers" on your list you have the worst movie taste of all time that is easily the worst movie ive ever seen

 

[cleavland steamer]

Watch this movie atleast once every three days.

 

[brrraptors]

Schindler's List has gotta be on any top 5 war movies list, its a terrific movie. and a very disturbing movie to some.

 

[fightingfrog62]

Windtalkers is also pretty good

 

[fightingfrog62]

enemy at the gates isnt bad either

 

[xbiker47]

Black Hawk down and Saving private ryan

 

[call me walks]

The Longest Day
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket
We were Soldiers
...idk my mind is drawing a blank

 

[duba169]

Just so noone gets confused or upset I want to point out that apocalypse now is not really a "war movie"

It's more of a psychological thriller imo. Some parts are intentionally unrealistic. Such as the surfing scenes...It's about the human psyche with waras a backround/setting. Kind of like the first half of full metal jacket.

and stay away from the redux the first time you are watching it. It will just be way too long for a first time watcher. I made that mistake.

platoon is my favorite war movie but saving private ryan is the most accurate portrayal of the horrors of war.

 

[infamousod]

Saving Private Ryan which leads directly to Band of Brothers as mentioned.
Black Hawk Down
Glory
Full Metal Jacket

I just watched the Big Red One, starring Lee Marvin (and Mark Hamill) who was also in the Dirty Dozen. I recommend them but they aren't as thrilling as themore modern ones.

And especially for Band of Brothers fans, there is a "Iraq war version" if you will done by the creators of the Wire, also on HBO. Aired last yeararound this time actually.

must watch, 7 part miniseries.


btw Jarhead is awful. Platoon is also good and if you like submarine films watch Das Boot (I have the uncut 5 hour long German version with English subtitles),it's the film all other submarine films steal form

 

[theprocessofbelief]

My fave.

yep, generation kill was very well done. What else would you expect from the makers of the wire?

I don't think jarhead is an awful war movie. I think it did a great job at portraying a war that was hardly fought. wasn't there one casualty in theentire gulf war? I feel like the movie was boring because the war itself was boring to those who were fighting
