Favorite war movies

i know it's a mini series but i count it as a movie

Band of brothers=greatest war movie ever made

if that isn't counted as a movie then here's my top 3 actual movies

1. Patton
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Platoon

Braveheart obviously
Saving Private Ryan
The Patriot
Forrest Gump (he did get shot in the buttocks)

300...

My favorite are Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers. I don't know if you would consider Forrest Gump a war movie but it has war in it so it's also one of my choices.

The battle of britain.


" [the British Spitfire pilots are having an easy time shooting down the feared German Stuka Dive Bombers] It's like shooting rats in a barrel.
: *You'll* be "in a barrel", if you don't watch out for the *fighters*!"

" The *engine's* overheating, and so am *I*! Either we stand down, or *blow up*! Now *which* do you want?"


"They just fell on us! They got my number two, and the CO! 2/You saw Canfield go down?! 1/He blew up…just blew up!"

I really liked The Lost Battalion and Saving Private Ryan
Although I wouldn't turn my nose up at Black Hawk Down or The Thin Red Line!

Grave of the Fireflies. Though I'll admit I haven't seen too many war films in my lifetime.

The Guns of Navarone
Force 10 from Navarone
Kelly's Heroes
Stalag 17
The Great Escape

Troy wasn't bad and I'll be watching The Bridge Over the River Kwai soon

I wouldn't call it a war film, but I + repped anyway, just because it's such a great film.

All these listings of Saving Pvt. Ryan by relatively newcomers to this forum makes me wonder if they really think it was that good or was it just one of the few war films they've seen recently? Considering all the pre-release hype, I was deeply disappointed in the film myself, but I don't mind if others like it. Differences of opinion is what makes horse races, missionaries, and favorite film lists.

Seven Samurai was more like vigilantes or a swat team vs. criminals than a war.

'The Thin Red Line' is one of my favourite movies.

I'm about to watch 'The Counterfeiters,' which is meant to be excellent.
