The lost battalion was a amazing movie! and same with BHD and BoB

SW-14 01-30-2003 11:38 PM

Worst movie: Thin Red Line (the old version, I've never seen the newer one)

Milla 01-30-2003 11:53 PM

Black hawk down is really my most favorite war movie, along with SPR

Naw, I'd say Peral Harbour was the worst.

SW-14 01-31-2003 12:43 AM

Heh, in the Thin Red Line, some US guy threw a grenade into a Japanese cave..and when it blew up, the explosion came from about a yard away from the grenade. It was just a terrible movie, but I nearly died laughing at that grenade scene.

Milla 01-31-2003 01:10 AM

The new Thin redline with woody harrilson is seriously the gayest movie on war ever made to date, that includes pearl harbor

Dr. Deleto 01-31-2003 04:35 AM

Dr. Deleto 01-31-2003 01:57 PM

Yeah, Audie Murphy was America's most decorated soldier....ever! To Hell and Back is his own autobiography of WW2. Best part of the movie is HE STARS AS HIMSELF! Thats right, the man who really did all those things actually stars in a movie about himself. He won the medal of honor for telling his company to retreat, climbing on a burning U.S. Tank Destroyer, and taking on an entire german battalion by himself. You have to watch it to see all the medals he got, but the whole movie leads up to that point. It shows everything, including how he lost every freind he had in the army and how he solidifies against freindship because of it. Audie died in the 70's in a plane crash, so watch the movie to honor the man.

SS-NaPPo 01-31-2003 02:04 PM

Hehe, I just got Devil's Brigade on DVD today, only cost $14 biggrin:

Also got a movie called The Desert Rats, I don't know if it's any good, it looks quite good, haven't watched it yet. It was only $12 cool:

Jedi Marksman 02-02-2003 01:34 AM

I'm not sure if someone mentioned it already, but a good war movie that I saw recently was When Trumpets Fade. It was about the Jurtgen Forest Battle that cost 30,000 casualties on the side of the Allies. You don't here too much about this campaign because it's sandwiched between D-Day and The Battle of The Bulge. Others include:

Seargent York
Kelly's Heroes (hilarious)
A Bridge Too Far
Where Eagles Dare
Tobruk
Glory
Saving Private Ryan
All Quiet on the Eastern Front
Das Boot
The Iron Cross
Enemy at The Gates
Sands of Iwo Jima
Battle of The Bulge
Patton

Jedi Marksman 02-02-2003 03:20 AM

Oops. . .that was Hurtgen Forest. biggrin:

Innoxx 02-02-2003 08:18 AM

I've seen this move a long time ago on History, it basically followed a sqaud of LRRP's during the Vietnam war, and they take command of a firebase and get overwhelmed by a Vietnamese Regiment, did I mention that the actor who plays the DI in full metal jacket stars in the movie?

Anybody remember the title?

hamsters united 02-02-2003 09:04 AM

Das Boot
 
Das Boot -- get the extended DVD version. Incredible!

ALARM!

Clemenza B. Drinkinbeer 02-04-2003 08:08 PM

WWI: The Lost Battalion. i dont think there are too many WWI movies but if there were id still think this was the best.

WWII: BOB and SPR, u cant go wrong with Hanks/Speilberg. The Battle of the Bulge. Uprising was on NBC in Nov of 2001 for two nights, best Holocaust movie period. if u havent herd about this go to amazon and type it in, All-Star Ccast too.

Vietnam: We Were Soldiers. Mel Gibson Ya Cmon.

Civil: Glory. Cary Elwes, Denzel, Freeman were brilliant.

Revolutionary: The Patriot. Mel Gibson Ya Cmon.

Misc: Braveheart. Probably one of the top 10 best movies of all time with the first two Godfathers and Back To The Future biggrin: oh and Mel Gibson Ya Cmon

The worst war movie i have ever seen was HBO's When Trumpets Fade. i thought it was just horrible in describing war. everyone was fuckin pissed at each other fire2: M16: it just didnt make any sense.
