Best war movies?

[RFUS]

Hunt for the Bismarck
Platoon
Good Morning Vietnam
Tropic Thunder
Black Hawk Down


Not technically a movie, but Band of Brothers owns everything in this thread.

Tropic Thunder!!

A completely different kind of film, but damn, that was good fun. Cruise's cameo was awesome, and RDJ's character was inspired.

A chum has brought round some DVD's, including this series. Never seen it. A good way to spend the next 2 hours before MOTD?

Agreed. The best 10 hours or so of TV I have ever watched.

Although It's by no means the best at all, I really enjoyed We Were Soldiers.

Another way of grading war movies - by war. In order...

Vietnam
WWII European theatre
WWII Naval
WWII Pacific theatre
WWII POW
WWI
Korean War (M*A*S*H; Pork Chop Hill)
Balkans (Behind Enemy Lines)
Iraq/Afghanistan

I liked K19 Widow maker. Just a great untold story. Rubbish Russian Accents though!

Saving Private Ryan, A Bridge Too Far, Patton, Enemy at the Gates I enjoyed.

Band of Brothers, although not a film, is by far my favourite war film (ish!) ever, and really enjoyed Pacific

I bought the Band of Brothers box set about 2 weeks ago.
