Good War Movies

**Trooper** · 05-06-2006, 05:47 PM

I looked around and seen we dint have one of these. My wife is gone till next Thursday which gives me plenty of nag-free time to watch my War/Classic Action movies. I have some of the classics and some new ones:

Patton
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
We where Soldiers
Band of Brothers
BHD
Forest Gump (best movie ever)
Basic
Rambo 1 2 3 (you know you like them)

and a few others. Any body else got a good movie of this type that might be good to watch. Could make some great movie selections and discussion.

Full Metal Jacket

Full Metal Jacket is a classic. The Alamo Drafthouse theater is playing Kubrick's films in full re-mastered goodness this summer. I really hope that one makes the cut.

Apocolypse Now Redux

The Horror....The Horror....

**GhostintheShell** · 05-06-2006, 06:26 PM

The original of "Three Kings" was good IMO.

My all time fav is Band of Brothers, but I think it would have been better if set as a story about a British troop.

Check out Jarhead. It wasn't great but its worth a rent.

**Clodhopper** · 05-06-2006, 08:13 PM

The Dirty Dozen
Green Berets
Platoon (Mentioned)
Full Metal Jacket (Mentioned) of course, one of my all-time favourites

Can't think of many others, aside from the already well knowns like the two I mentioned up there and others like Saving Private Ryan, BHD and the like.

Most excellent!

The Deer Hunter anyone ?

**WhiskeySix** · 05-06-2006, 09:04 PM

Red Dawn.

(wierd - I watched Patton on-demand last night on a whim..)

Lemanski · 05-06-2006, 09:10 PM

Black Hawk Down is by far one of my favourite films of all time.

Cross of Iron.

The Longest Day.

Man there are some great flicks here! Enemy at the Gates was an awesome movie, I can't believe I forgot about it.
(gets the notepad out) Time to go bargin-bin diving (although, Enemy at the Gates isn't old and I don't think it's bargin bin material yet)

Da Boot was a good one..
The Great Escape aswell

So many oldies out there!

Stalag 17.

Drizzid · 05-06-2006, 11:21 PM

Well this might not fall exactly in this catagory but a good Submarine movie is "Das Boat" and you can't forget "Midway" and "Tora Tora Tora"

**Trooper** · 05-06-2006, 11:26 PM
