Saving Private Ryan and The Great Escape

if this was for favourite War movies and series then Band Of Brothers would hands down win

[Drew.]

oh and Pearl Harbour

[GypsyGoth]

I haven't seen many, I did like Saving Private Ryan, and I do intend to watch more of them.

Of the ones I've seen I liked Jarhead the best, but I'm not sure if that is classed as a war film

Full Metal Jacket

[Drew.]

[the truth]

Crikey there have been a lot.........maybe we should make it a top 3?

[MTVN]

Favourite ones are probably Downfall and Paths of Glory

Also really like Platoon, Black Book, Inglorious, Land and Freedom, and Come and See

[Omah]

1) Schindler's List
2) Bridge on the river Kwai
3) Deer Hunter
4) Apocalypse now
5) Full metal jacket
6) Zulu
7) All quiet on the Western front
8) Cross of Iron
9) Saving Private Ryan
10) The Pianist

Don't really class Great escape as a war movie, I see it more as a Prison movie.

Great list... I'd like to switch Zulu and Kwai, and add The Longest Day in place of Cross of Iron.

[Omah]

The Cruel Sea or Das Boot or The Dambusters or Memphis Belle or Hell In the Pacific or Saving Private Ryan or .....

Zulu or Cross of Iron or In Which We Serve or Cockleshell Heroes .....

[Jesus.]

The greatest war movie them tune is clearly this:

doeJSspVL5Y

Good film too.

[Livia]

Zulu or Cross of Iron or In Which We Serve or Cockleshell Heroes .....

Oh! In Which We Serve... brilliant film. I love those old British black and white war films. Cottage for Rent, A Canterbury Tale, Went The Day Well... they should have their own category.

[GiRTh]

Apocalypse Now is one of the top three films ever made. There is no finer war film.

[Alf]

Great list... I'd like to switch Zulu and Kwai, and add The Longest Day in place of Cross of Iron.
I got The longest day on my sky planner, I recorded it of TCM about a month ago, still haven't got round to watching it yet, i'm sure i'll enjoy it, it's got to have one the greatest ensemble cast's ever.

[zakman440]

Schindlers List, Zulu and Saving Private Ryan are my top 3

[Vanessa]

Shindlers List. :worship:

[Joelle.]

Where Eagles Dare is probably my favourite war film, watched it numerous times.

From the list my faves are Schindler's List, The Great Escape and even though I wouldn't class it as a true war film, Inglourious Basterds. :D

[Ammi]

..the Great Escape..:lovedup:..

[swinearefine]

I liked that hooker scene from full metal jacket, other than that I'm not a fan of war movies.

[AnnieK]

A Bridge Too Far....

[Alf]

Where Eagles Dare is probably my favourite war film, watched it numerous times.
. :D
That came close to making my top ten, great film

[the truth]

I love all these movies, theyre masterpieces.
when you consider from here to eternity with burt lancaster/montgomery clift,sinatra,borgnine, deborah kerr........then young lions wiht brando, clift, dean martin
these were epic movies, brilliant stories superbly told and stellar performances

apocolypse now is of course a classic, you could watch that every day and never get tired of it

where eagles dare, brilliant, a very unusual casting but it worked a treat

Braveheart amazing cinematography and an epic story too, very moving

schindlers list heartbreaking, kingsley, neeson and fiennes all fantastic too

But in the end in comes to 2 war movies for me above all others

Zulu and The deer Hunter

I just cant seperate these 2.

amazingly shot, remarkable stories, attention to detail......I think the landscape adds a certain infinite quality to these remarkable movies that will make them so timeless they will still be admired in 200 years.....

the last scenes in both are tear jerkers, the welsh regiment singing men of harlech as they make their last stand against thousands of zulus.......then in deer hunter as they all return to their beloved home for thanksgiving, minus chris walkens character and they somehow manage to sing God bless america......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwl4xV6wuRI
Id also add deer hunter is the most naturalistic war film Ive ever seen.

[lostalex]

I'm generally not a fan of war movies. War movies and Mafia movies are probably the genres that I enjoy the least.

But if I had to pick one, I'd have to go with Glory. Gone With The Wind would be a close second.

I don't like war films. I did watch one with mel gibson which I enjoyed.. cant remember the name of it though
