War Movies
 

Hey, I'm looking for a couple of good war movies that I could look into buying. I own these ones on DVD so far:

Braveheart
We Were Soldiers
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy At The Gates
Black Hawk Down
Gladiator

These are basically the only war movies I've seen, so I hope to get some advice from you guys. Are there good war movies out there that I'm missing out on? (And by war I mean a lot of action involving soldiers or whatever, not crappy action flicks starring Ben Affleck.) I'm looking for a few that are kind along the same side as the ones I already own. The only movie I have in mind is The Patriot.

Any other suggestions?

The Longest Day
A Bridge too Far
Band of Brothers(mini series, not movie*)
Das Boot
Bridge on the River Kwai
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon

movie??

pVt. JAUUN snip3rrrrr: biography of a killer

I think Black Nigger Jackal is on to something here...


Edit...

Go buy A Midnight Clear and When Trumpets Fade.

lol happy:

Midway
The Longest Day
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Combat!

Do yourself a favor and pick up "Band of Brothers" 1st. One of the best war flicks/series ever IMO.

sPr

Full Metal Jacket

no, better yet:

WAR: a complete and total account of every war this planet has ever fought.

Most of the best have already been mention. Band of Brothers box set ranks #1 in my books.

Galipoli
Alls quite on the western front
When trumpets fade
The guns of Navarone
Stalingrad(foreign)
Hamburger Hill

Check These out too.

Kelly's Heros
Big Red One
HeartBreak Ridge
The Longest Day
Von Ryans Express
Good Bad & the Ugly (civil war)
Glory (civil war)
Memphis Belle (just for the air sequences, FF through the plot)
Bridge too Far

and My Blue Heaven (no not a war movie but I can't stress the need for that comedy enough !)

Ahh yes, thanks for the suggestions all, I meant war movies made recently (say, 1990-Present), since I've seen plenty of old war flicks (my uncle lets me borrow em whenever I want till I get bored of them + my dad has a lot.)

And yeah I've seen BOB when it first came out on DVD, and I'll probably look into buying it once I'm in the mood to save up enough money.

Thanks for all suggestions so far beer:

ps. thanks for reminding me about Glory phil, I love that movie; I havent seen it for ages...

How about "Gettysburg" or "Gods and Generals"?

Was it just me, or was Gods and Generals really long and drawn out?

yeah, it was kinda stupid how he kept refering to God the WHOLE DAMN MOVIE. I don't care if he was religious...just don't all that crap in a movie when people want to see limbs blown off. biggrin:

I just said it cause it was a war movie. I didn't really like it that much. I give it a 5 out of 10.

Too many to list really.

Star Wars wasn't bad ... it kind of got gross with that incest part.

incest? where, i wanna see!

Luke and Leah are brother and sister

Oh that? Damn, I thought you were going to give me something I can use. Fuck, oh well, I guess there is always Florida.
