wow i wish all my DVD's werent packed up still. i would just list what war movies i have.
should i try by memory? lots of greats already mentioned... U-571 Saving Private Ryan Band of Brothers FULL. METAL. JACKET. Platoon We were soldiers Blackhawk Down Jarhead TOP GUN! crimson tide wind talkers (not great, but i'm a cage fan and also part native american) that's all i can remember at the moment. some others i need to buy that are greats: hamburger hill the deerhunter flags of our fathers countdown... something? with the USS Nimitz, i just got orders to that ship! behind enemy lines (love gene hackman in this. he makes a great CO) enemy at the gates (just saw a short documentary on this guy. amazing...) Sniper (the trilogy?!) the pianist (good POV from civilian side) thats about all i can think of. and i dont know why but i saw thin red line not long ago and hated it?! i'd have to see it again to tell you exactly why. maybe i was in the wrong mood or something, but the pacing was terrible, acting sucked, and the action was just way too fake looking. especially when compared to private ryan or band of brothers.

Two words...Iron Eagle
J/K Full Metal Jacket is the one I can watch over and over. R. Lee Ermey is the man. They should make a 25th figure out of him. And not really a war movie but A Few Good Men was damn good.

That is the smartest thing I've heard all day. Screw Sgt. Slaughter. They should make Ermey the first Sgt. of the original GI Joe, Coltan or whatever his name was. Like Duke is to Hawk, Ermey is to Coltan. That would be brilliant.

My current favorite would be We Were Soldiers. Easily one of the most moving war movies I've ever seen.
Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down would be at the top of the list for me also. However, my sentimental favorite and one that I watched all the time when I was a kid is Memphis Belle. It's a little hokey nowadays, but still really entertaining. Last edited by NateR; 09-07-2008 at 02:45 AM.. Reason: didn't read the whole thread |
