I'll start (random order)

The Thin Red Line
Apocalypse Now
La grande vadrouille
Valkyrie
Full Metal Jacket
Inglourious Basterds
Paths of Glory
The Pianist
Der Untergang
Saving Private Ryan
Dr. Strangelove



My order is:
Saving private ryan
Apocalypse now
Inglorious bastards
The bridge on the river kuwai
Valkyrie



Dr. Strangelove
The Human Condition
All Quiet On The Western Front
The Battle Of Algiers
Paths Of Glory
Army Of Shadows
Das Boot
The Bridge On The River Kwai
Come And See
Ballad Of A Soldier
Apocalypse Now
The Hill
The Cranes Are Flying
The Ascent
To Be Or Not To Be
The Great Escape
Fires On The Plain
The Bridge
Twelve O'Clock High



for me-
Come and See
The Thin Red Line
Apocalypse Now
Saving Private Ryan (though I don't think it's as flawless as others do, but that opening sequence is next level and unrivaled.)
Barry Lyndon
Full Metal Jacket
The Deer Hunter

I was never a huge fan of war films, which is why my list is so short. What are some other recommendations along the lines of the ones I listed? Ones especially like Come and See, TTRL, and Apocalypse Now?

There are still many great titles missing, but, I'll leave those for the die hard war film fans. One of my favorites that always gets omitted from these sort of threads is A Midnight Clear (1992).



All quiet on the western front felt real and thats something i dont get from a lot of the newer war movies. Top recommend on this front for sure.



Starship troopers..
Behind Enemey lines



Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo (Brotherhood of War)
Ji jie hao (Assembly)
Indigènes (Days of Glory)



Very notable mention is : the 80s hit "casualties of war" with micheal jay fox

This. It's one of the most underrated movies ever.

Also 'Kajaki' is great but I think it was named something else in the US.

Loads of old ones like Escape from Sobibor, ice cold in alex, Tora tora tora etc

Recently: Son of Saul.....but have some bourbon handy.



Saving Private Ryan
American Sniper

Flag of our Fathers
Letters From Iwo Jima

I wouldn't really put schindlers list in the war movie department because altho it was during ww2, the movie is mainly focused on the holocaust which was different from the war itself
