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.

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.
