Rollin 20's · 22-08-2008, 01:35 AM

windtalkers would have to be my favorite, then again i havent got around to whatching that much war movies lol

Vizard Hiei · 22-08-2008, 01:55 AM

is that movie a movie you would recommend?

i would recommend all of the ones i suggested even the last one that i have not seen yet

dragonfrost · 22-08-2008, 02:06 AM

uMMMMMMM my top 5 stands like this

5 black hawk down
4 hearts war
3 shenlers list
2 enemy at the gates
1 apocalypse now

Seshen · 22-08-2008, 02:18 AM

Saving Private Ryan (actually made me tear up)
Enemy at the Gates (personal favorite)

Full Metal Jacket is indeed a great movie but its more about the training of the soldiersand the effects they have rather than the vietnam war.

We Were Soldiers

The Hunt for Red October
War Games

Operation Dumbo Drop

Good Morning Vietnam

CLAY · 22-08-2008, 02:22 AM

Saving Private Ryan, hands down

Vizard Hiei · 22-08-2008, 04:00 AM

nice choices very nice choices

i still want to see full metal jacket in fact i think i might buy it it sounds like a really good movie

but for now my favorite war movie that i have seen is saving private ryan i mean the opening war scene is insane and brutal! and the rest of the movie is really good

superbob · 22-08-2008, 04:22 AM

Saving Private Ryan - It's a given, the movie was epic.

Full Metal Jacket - This movie goes more into the psychological aspects of the training and combat during the Vietnam war.

Apocalypse Now - Same as above but not so much the training. This movie is a modern adaption of the book, Heart of Darkness.

Schindler's list isn't so much a war movie as much as a movie that covers the hardships of the polish and german jews in the interment camps during WWII.

Vizard Hiei · 22-08-2008, 05:00 AM

has anobody seen all quite on the western front? (1979)

it was a really good movie for being really old

Twilex · 22-08-2008, 05:03 AM

Gonna have to say Pearl Harbor. It was a good movie, and is the only war movie i've ever seen.

Vizard Hiei · 22-08-2008, 05:28 AM

pearl habor was a good movie even though i havent seen it in years

since you said that pearl harbor is the only war film you have seen try watching some of the movies we have put down and recommended

deccrix · 22-08-2008, 05:58 AM

saving private ryan was epic, no doubt about it.

thin red line was also good

enemy at the gates, also a personal favorite, i really like the story and the fact that the protagonist is a fucking sniper prodigy

Rollin 20's · 22-08-2008, 06:02 AM

stoploss was also a good movie i would recomend that D:

Vizard Hiei · 22-08-2008, 02:23 PM

hmm platoon sounds like a good movie

GaaranGaara · 22-08-2008, 03:11 PM

My favourite is Black Hawk Down.

Though We Were Soldiers and Saving Pvt Ryan are good too.

Yes definetly let me also add that gulf war movie "Three Kings" kicked ass so so so much better than Jarhead

Vizard Hiei · 23-08-2008, 07:51 PM

loic8855 · 23-08-2008, 08:30 PM

troy was a great movie... I reaaaaly enjoyed it

**LONGTIME** · 23-08-2008, 08:47 PM

The Deer Hunter
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Casualties of War
Platoon
Hamburger Hill
The Siege of Firebase Gloria

In no particular order.

There are a lot more but I don't feel like posting a giant list.

ACCUNE · 23-08-2008, 09:04 PM

^ Micheal J Fox was really good in Casualties of war,great film.

Full Metal Jacket :I felt bad for that guy that got whipped with the soap.

Saving Private Ryan :Loved the closeness of the unit.

A war movie that I saw recently that was good was Jar Head.It showed some clips of the people after they got back from Desert Storm.
