That sounds awesome. And it reminded me that I forgot to list The Great Dictator.

yeah, you should certainly watch it, preferably in German with subtitles, if you watch it dubbed, I think it'll suck.


and The Great Dictator, how could I forgot this one, some hilarious scenes !

Oh yeah, he was awesome in it. Bruno Ganz is his name. The scene with the nazi mom and her kids was ruff.

I was going to say that after spending 8 years in the Marine Corps, I came to hate war movies...but if you are going to go to "Jacob's Ladder"...then I have to agree. Although I do not see it as a war movie.


But that movie is among my top 25 favorites of all time.

Starship Troopers

 

[CelticPredator]

Might not count, but Shindler's List is one of my favorite films of all time.

It's during the war...so I dunno.

 

[BB&WSF]

Atonement: For the surrealism, even though the 'war scene' was for a few minutes. Love Dario Marianelli's score Elegy for Dunkirk:

I would for sure consider Schindlers List a war movie. And a great one at that.
