Favorite War Movies

[Al Yellon]

Bridge on the River Kwai
The Dirty Dozen
Kelly's Heroes

It's not a movie, but I love the Band of Brothers miniseries.

I could get along with you all right. Fine choices.

I'd also put The Longest Day toward the top of my list.

Bridge on the River Kwai
The Dirty Dozen
Kelly's Heroes

It's not a movie, but I love the Band of Brothers miniseries.

Kelly's Heroes is great. Uncle Leo is in it.

Yup, as were Archie Bunker and Don Rickles.  Rickles was great, he looked exactly the same in that movie as he does now.  Was the guy ever young?

Yeah..before dirt was invented.

All the movies listed so far are the balls.  The only additions I can think of are We Were Soldiers and A Bridge too Far.

A Fridge Too Far?

A Fridge Too Far?

Please, give me my dignity.  I just want to watch "Honk if You're Horny" in peace.

And I'll even steer this one back onto topic:

The Battle of the Bulge.

Savalas + WWII = Awesome

[butthead]

Stripes

[Capt. Over]

Patton
Das Boot
Glory
Where Eagles Dare (someone else had mentioned this, very underrated movie)
Apocalypse Now

Not in my top 5, but still deserve a mention:  Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Good Morning Vietman, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Deer Hunter, The Devil's Brigade, Midway, and many more I can't think of right now.

And I would have to discount We Were Soldiers because of the Chris Klein factor, (Spoiler Alert!) although he dies so I guess it evens out.

Can someone please define "war", because I'm pretty sure Road house and/or Walking Tall are the two best movies about guys declaring "war" on evil in the world.

M*A*S*H
The Boys in Company C
Platoon
Apocalypse Now
Patton
Tora! Tora! Tora!

Also, honorable mention to all the great WWII flicks, where the guy from Brooklyn always got it, and his last words were invariably, "Tell my goil ta meet me at da Dodja game". The fresh-faced kid always got it, along with the crusty old vet, and the jagoff who finally redeems himself at the end by cashing in his chips while saving the platoon.

The Enemy Below
Run Silent, Run Deep (Robert Wise may have had the greatest range of any director - From this to Sound of Music to Day the Earth Stood Still to West Side Story to The Andromeda Strain to Star Trek I?  Wow.)
The Longest Day
Full Metal Jacket
Bridge on the River Kwai
Stalag 17 (if it can be considered a war movie)

[forkserker]

Does "The Final Countdown" count?

(insert Gob Bluth reference here)

No, but Red Dawn does.

Were leaving together,
But still its farewell...
And maybe well come back,
To Earth, who can tell?

[Tonker]

I never figured out why they made a war film about beef suet.

[forkserker]

Well, it was the GOOD beef suet.

This only confirms all my jokes about English food. How much for a goat ball pie, guv?
