Whats the best war movie ever made???

[delasoul]

A bridge too far. Awesome movie about Operation Market garden. I actually talked to and met people who had participated in market garden. If you ever spent time in the 82nd that operation is implanted in your memory banks.

Would Star Wars be classed as a war movie?

Technically it is a futuristic war movie

But it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away? :dunno:

I say Full Metal Jacket

True, but there are wars going on in both trilogies, even if it's not your conventional type.

I hope this doesn't turn into a sci-fi thread! :1orglaugh

You left out All Quiet on the Western Front. Great book and movie, very sad ending.

The list is a bit limited, Saving Private Ryan is the most overrated movie ever! & what on earth is Windtalkers doing on that list?!?
Right, here are some serious contenders -
Cross Of Iron
All Quiet On The Western Front
Journey's End
Paths of Glory
The Longest Day
Zulu
The Battle of Britain
Ice-Cold in Alex

Zulu was a really great movie, and as I said earlier how can you seriously forget All Quiet on the Western Front in the place of all of these crap 90's war movies?

I'll give you that


Still a great flick. Christopher Walken and Robert Deniro both put on quite the performance.


And what guy doesn't get a testosterone buzz when they escape from the POW shack? Just watching it makes your chest hair grow an inch.
