A very good list. Agree with the #1 choice. For the first time those Yahoos are pretty much on the ball.

My favorite war movie will always be Full Metal Jacket.

P@t_Mtl · 12-30-2008, 08:53 PM

Agree with Private Ryan but Braveheart over Schindler's List? Come on now, let's be honest Braveheart is fun but hardly in the same quality as Schindler's List. Just the historical inacuracies alone should put Braveheart way below on this list.

Blu-Runner · 12-30-2008, 08:57 PM

I would've liked to have seen The Thin Red Line on that list, but oh well. That's just me.

Nicadian · 12-30-2008, 09:04 PM

i agree with saving private ryan being number 1.

Pirate King · 01-02-2009, 12:42 PM

I certainly love "Saving Private Ryan" When he is walking through the cemetary at the beginning of the film, and the American flag is waving, it just gets to me, everytime..... I also think the following films deserve to be on that list.

Gettysburg
Sands of Iwo Jima
The Longest Day
Midway
Guns of Navarone

Jamoctopus · 01-02-2009, 09:32 PM

Gettysburg was extremely exciting.

I am not the biggest war film fan, but I believe the top 3 could be interchangable. Wouldn't Lawerence of Arabia be up there (top5 at least)?

peter008 · 01-02-2009, 11:30 PM

some of my favorite war movie:

twelve o'clock high
the bridge at ramagen
midway
the tuskegee airmen
memphis belle
thirty seconds over tokyo
air force
the enemy below
run silent run deep
sink the bismark
flying tigers
battleground
anzio
a yank in the r.a.f.
hell to eternity
wing and a prayer
sand of iwo jima
the great escape
stalag 17
633 squadron
crash dive
tora tora tora

few of my fav war movies are

1. where eagles dare
2. kelly's heroes

3. defiance

DAROCKNESSMONSTER · 01-03-2009, 07:38 AM

surprised to see "enemy at the gates" up so high on the list.

Bradapalooza · 01-05-2009, 09:25 PM

meh. Enemy at the gates should have been lower, Patton and Apocalypse Now should have been higher. I'm not really a fan of Saving Private Ryan, I just can't take Tom Hanks seriously as a soldier. He's a good actor but all I see Forest Gump. I did like him in Apollo 13 though.

Lacit170 · 01-06-2009, 04:32 PM

Its not a movie... but IMO the best War type movie has to be Band of Brothers.... its phenomenol in every way... thats my #1

Mr. HiDef · 01-06-2009, 04:36 PM

I think Patriot should have been top 10

lobo81865 · 01-06-2009, 05:28 PM

My list in no particular order

Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket
The Lost Batallion
All Quiet on the Western Front
Joyieux Noel (You guys should check this one out if you haven't seen it)
Braveheart
The Patriot
Last of the Mohicans (French & Indian War)
Sergeant York
Flyboys
Enemy At the Gates
The Alamo
A Midnight Clear
The Great Raid
The Crossing
Drums Along the Mohawk

I agree, It is so good that an exception should be made that is a mini-series.

It was #2 on the list. Braveheart, the patriot, and we were soldiers are all the same movie.
