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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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