List your 5 favorite War Movies

List your 5 favorite War Movies

List your 5 favorites. List more if you can't help it (or less, whatever). List why if you care to, or don't. Quibble with others about their poor war movie taste ...or praise them for being such cinematic gurus. There's no rules, this is war! (well, I guess there's forum rules. anyways...) -*Das Boot *(just unbelievably tense. Long periods of boredom followed by sheer terror!) -*Apocalypse Now* (I love the smell of napalm in the morning) -*Full Metal Jacket* (mainly for boot camp, wavers a bit afterwards) -*Band of Brothers* (some incredible episodes and yeah, I know it's not a movie) -*Der Untergang* (fascinatingly disturbing) also... -*Blackhawk Down* (intense modern warfare) -*Patton* (gotta love the speech) -*Kelly's Heroes* (it's damn fun, WOOF! WOOF!) -*Enemy at the Gates* (ahhh... snipers, who doesn't like snipers?) -*Platoon* (a little Hollywood, but still quite good) I'm leaving out some other good ones, but they can't all make the list. Yeah, that's right. I'm leaving out the beloved *Saving Ryan's Privates*. Other than the incredible landing scene, there's not too much else in it I'm a big fan of. Too Hollywood and too much "Yay for America" stuff for me, even as an American. Don't mean to sound condescending to SPR fans (yet I ironically feel the need to explain exclusion), I just think it's the most overrated war movie ever. Beat me up about it, I don't care, I still won't like it any better! :p I do have the DVD though. Go figure. [/soapbox] Yeah, we've done this in the past, but I can't find any recent threads (cue the inevitable thread monkeys), so why not do it again?
