Spam my WAR Countdown ballot!...movie recommendations needed
1 Attachment(s)
Spam my WAR Countdown ballot! War movies needed now! I'm looking for some great war movie recommendations. If I like them enough they will make my ballot. If it's on your ballot and mine, then the movie has a better chance of making the final countdown! I'm planning on watching a boat load of war movies in prep for the countdown. When I watch one I'll post my thoughts so you can see what I thought of it. So spam bombs away... Hit me up with some good war films! |

Perhaps not in the true spirit of war movies that you're looking for, but these two offer a humorous or satirical view during war: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). M*A*S*H (1970) You've likely seen them, but they're both riots! |

The Duellists Das Boot probably will make my list and I'm sure it will make the countdown at least I think so. Bridge over the River Kwai one of my wife's favorite war movies, luckily she like likes war movies, so I'll probably rewatch it again. I just rewatched Saving Private Ryan that film gets kicked around a lot but it does the German army right. I can't stand movies where the enemy soldiers are morons who line up just to be mowed down for the cameras...Fury I'm looking at you! |
Re: Spam my WAR Countdown ballot!...movie recommendations needed
Here are some of my favorites (excluded the ones I know you've already seen):
The Ascent The Battle of Algiers The Bridge on the River Kwai The Deer Hunter Full Metal Jacket The General Kanal Night and Fog Pan's Labyrinth Paths of Glory The Thin Red Line War and Peace Also, I don't know how broad the definition of war movies will be for the countdown (i.e., whether movies like Casablanca are eligible or not), but if we're allowed to include non-combat war films, I coud share some further recommendations if you're interested. |
I have the following on my watchlist for this:
Breaker Morant 49th Parallel The Human Condition Trilogy (treating these as separate films since they have been released in separate years) Run Silent, Run Deep ‘71 Wings War and Peace I also suggest the following: Zulu The Dawns Here Are Quiet Hamburger Hill Twelve O’Clock High The Battle of Algiers Rome, Open City In Which We Serve Edit: forgot a few |

"The Troubles"? do I dare ask what that means:cool: Re: The Troubles, it refers to the period of 30-40 years from the 60s to the 90s where there was constant conflicts in Northern Ireland, mostly regarding to their status as either part of the UK or part of Ireland, but also with religious divisons between Protestants and Catholics, etc. (see also Belfast and In the Name of the Father) |

Re: Spam my WAR Countdown ballot!...movie recommendations needed
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but...
The Longest Day (1962) I'm a sucker for giant ensemble movies - and this one is a doozy with an international cast list of Who's Whose! |
