The best war movies/series

[line-em-up]

...

I liked "We Were Soldiers"

[LANTIRN]

Pacific Theater : Guadalcanal.

Well hell then. I have only seen a few scenes and it was a long time ago.

Jarhead was a pretty good movie; realistic in that nothing happened. A war movie with no action.


Has Full Metal Jacket been mentioned for Nam?
Good Morning Vietnam has to count as a war movie, right?

1941 for a good war comedy.
Stripes was mentioned.

Master and Commander; though I guess that was not war so much as just a naval movie.

Does Braveheart count? King Arther? Troy?

Fuck. The Alamo, both the new one and the John Wayne version. We live in Texas, how the fuck did we miss The Alamo?

3. Black Hawk Down
4. A Bridge Too Far
5. The Green Beret
6. We Were Soldiers Once
7. The Hunt for Red October
8. Glory
9. Generation Kill
10. Red Dawn (only 10th because it's WW3 and that never happened/hasn't happened yet)

Mike whats the pot up to me now 300? Im a school teacher. I teach english composition in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of the baseball team in the springtime. Back home I tell people what I do and that figures. But here its a big, big mystery. So I guess I've changed. Sometimes I've wonder if I've changed so much that my wife isn't going to recognize me whenever I get back to her. And how I'll ever explain days like today.

Uh Ryan, I dont know anything about Ryan I dont care. The man means nothing to me its just a name. But if, you know if going to Romel so that way he can go home. If that earns me the right to go back to my wife well then, then thats my misson.

You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? Alright, alright I wont stop you. I'll even put in the paper work. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.

Just finished watching this on Netflix Streaming, hadn't seen it in years but it's one of my favorite war movies. Pretty good cast, acting, and plot.

The Wild Geese

I can not believe nobody has not put "Apocolypse Now" as there favorite and that is by far the best "War" movie EVER made.

No one mentioned enemy at the gates?
Or tears of the Sun.

When life gives you lemons .... take them. Free Shit is cool.

[CJ-95GT]

I don't thing anyone said, "By Dawn's Early light" or "War Games". Neither are front line action type movies, but both have interesting story lines if a nuclear war ever breaks out.

[petyweestraw]

Yup. Wait Uhm red dawn. Anyone remember that one ?
