What's the best war movie ever made?

[WhiteKnight]

I don't think I've seen enough to justify my declaration of the "best," but my favorite is Saving Private Ryan.

Red Dawn. For the reason that unless we do something soon to shut down the awb nit-wit's we will be even more vulnerable to attack than they dreamed. Of course the cubans and russians and chinese will never invade,,,right?

Of course no-one would ever dream of flying a jetliner into a tall building full of people either......


just one thought to stop that scenario from repeating itself. as every passenger is boarding,instead of getting a slip of paper they get a liberator style pistol.
One good shot for everyone aboard that wants one,and lets see those sobs hold a whole plane full of people hostage long enough to fly into a skyscraper.

Battle of Britain.

Band of Brothers in my personal favorite. I might be a little biased though since the 506th is my old unit.

 

[Ky Larry]

Cross of Iron.

Blackhawk Down hit me way too hard as I knew CW4 Walcott personally. Couldn't finish it... It just crushed me to. Band of Brothers was incredible, as good as the book.

OK folks - how about "Aleksandr Nevsky"?

The Battle on the Ice?

 

[HiWayMan]

I have to second "The Big Red One". Lee Marvin kicks a$$.

Also, "The Dirty Dozen". It's a classic.

Best Vietnam war movie - "Go Tell The Spartans" with Burt Lancaster. Made during the war time(1966, I think). No heros or villains, just people o both sides dieing for an idea. Probably one of the best ever.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more votes for 12 O'clock High. Perhaps many have only seen the TV series, and not the movie with Gregory Peck. This movie is still shown in military leadership classes. Not much shoot-em-up but a powerful movie.
