Best ever war film?

[Sammantha143]

anyone mentioned Three Kings?

 

[phone_tv_dsl]

Schindlers List
Saving Private Ryan

 

[Osbourne]

Yes a very good film i've got it on DVD. A Script with dialogue by Jim Thompson so it's bound to be good along with Kubrick to direct

TOP TEN

(Just outside the top 10: Das Boot, come and See, Ambush)

 

[The Human Brain]

Best WW2 movie for me is Patton (how many other war films have won oscars?)
Best modern war film... tied between Jar Head and Black Hawk Down.
Best pre-20th C war movie... no contest - Zulu.

 

[♥nickjonasroxmyworld♥]

I'm a huge fan of Full Metal Jacket - I could quote from that film all day long!

M*A*S*H is also a great film - Donald Sutherland rocks in this film (as well as Kelly's Heroes).

And Schindler's List also makes my top war movies list.

Oh and I also love Zulu - even if Michael Caine's posh accent is a bit rubbish at times

Did anyone see The Thin Red Line? Anyone got any idea what the story was? Or was it just about loaRAB of famous actors being in it?? Disappointing.

 

[c-My-p-P]

It will always be Full Metal Jacket for me. For 45 minutes its some of the best cinema you will ever see.

 

[I want to answer]

Sorry, imo not even close. In fact not even the best American ww2 film.

And the British bit is complete b***ocks.

The Big Red One
Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il / The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Aphrodite_Mermaid]

1) Black Hawk Down

2) Das Boot

3) Platoon

I thought Thin Red Line was superior to Saving Private Ryan.

Anyone seen Nick BroomfielRAB docu-movie "Battle for Haditha"

 

[livinloudon215s]

The Deer Hunter
and
Das Boot

 

[junglemonkey0097]

I've never been able to watch SPR all the way through, too dull.

I agree with Paths of Glory and in the same anti-war spirit with the same type of storyline the obscure King and Country with Dirk Bogarde and Tom Courtenay.

 

[Lovely Bride]

Grave of the Fireflies.
Galipolli.
The Thin Red Line.

 

[yo mama!!!!!]

Das Boot for me

 

[I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT]

Got the super long version of Das Boot to watch, about 4hr 42 minutes.
Have seen the theatrical and directors cut, love the tension and atmosphere throughout the film, along with the score so decided to get the uncut, just gotta find the right time to watch it without disruptions.
