Depends on the war

I love loads of WW2 movies and would find it hard to pick a favourite although the classics have to be up there! (Great Escape and the like)

 

[DeeJay2609]

I believe "Saving Private Ryan" is worthy of a mention.

 

[ShyMystica]

Oooooh...I suppose I am patriotic this way and must pick 'Gallipoli' with a young Mel Gibson. It was the first war movie I have ever seen, and is still one I always cry in.

There are more, but I will keep it at that one.

 

[stickwork]

Pure "war"?

Black Hawk Down.

 

[DewMee]

Cross of Iron. James Coburn as Sgt Steiner is cool!

Honorable mentions are Stalingrad (subtitled German language version), Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (subtitled Korean language, the dubbed one is crap) and though not movies per se, the HBO Band of Brothers & The Pacific are pretty good too.

 

[Nightfreak]

WWII band of brothers and the pacific. Hands down two of the best miniseries on WWII.

We were soldiers is another good one.

 

[Veroe]

There's a new one coming out in Feb., I think, called Men of Valor (I think) that looks really good. Supposedly its supposed to star actual navy seals.

A Bridge Too Far
A Bridge Over The River Kwai
Midway
Pearl Harbor--The ORIGINAL Tora Tora Tora

 

[Execution_Style]

Tieberien Sun. hands down. something about honor gets me everytime

 

[Lukey83]

I would say:
The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.

 

[Ahren]

Apocalypse Now

 

[Mephistophelily]

War of the Worlds.

 

[Mister J]

Enemy at the Gates

 

[Harrypalm]

633 Squadron is a lively little tale.

 

[Nerd159]

Zulu, Gettysburg, Saving Private Ryan, and Kelly's Heroes.

 

[Rolando2]

Here for Patton

 

[Emmcee20]

Dam Busters - just for its historic accuracy

Zulu

 

[StaciRay79]

I love all the old war movies but among my favorites are:
- Zulu
- Sgt York
- Audie Murphy Story
- Green Berets
- and too many others to list!!

 

[Rick345]

All Quiet on the Western Front
Des Boot

 

[Rick345]

Dam Busters - just for its historic accuracy

Damn busters was a damn good movie

and while maybe not a war film "Strategic Air Command" is a good movie and allowed Jimmy Stewart's real life experiances as a B-24 wing commander tp be put to use in the film

 

[lonelonghorn]

Bridge Over The River Kwai is up there for me!

 

[Perplexia]

300

Gerard Butler.. enough said

 

[Noon_Shadow]

A few I've seen:

Patton
Saving Private Ryan
The Great Escape
Braveheart
Lawrence of Arabia

Stuff I really need to see:

Bridge over the River Kwai
A Bridge Too Far
All Quiet on the Western Front
Das Boot

 

[Fish_Tales]

Heaven Knows, Mr Allison
The Dirty Dozen

There are more, but I always think of these....
