    The Patriot is probably my favorite. That era of History and the warfare that occurred then has always fascinated me. Men lined up and literally faced each other on the battle field. Those who were literate were eligible to become officers, and the educated members of the gentry watched the action from a hilltop post with little to no fear of dying. Talk about real time strategy.

      hell yeah, excellent movie I forgot about because of the era. Dances with Wolves was also a great movie, just a little too romantic for the list though.

        I dont consider dww a war movie, but i guess you can make an argument for it. Another movie from the same time period, Glory, is one of my all time favorites.

            Tora Tora Tora, also Midway deserve credit because they are good considering when they we're made. Also one of my favorites is By Dawns Early Light.

                        Didn't see anyone else mention it, but Memphis Belle is pretty damn good. I like it a lot, anyways. Red Tails is going to throw it's hat in the ring here soon. Clips of the air combat look pretty amazing.

                              i know it was a short scene, but the vietnam scene in Forrest Gump was good I thought. Also does some of the bond movies count?
