What are your favorite war movies?

Finally got around to seeing "Ike: Countdown to D-Day" a couple of weeks ago. Tom Selleck was surprisingly good as Ike. Reminded me a bit of Thirteen Days (the JFK Cuban Missile Crisis movie) -- there's no action, just strategy.

I liked it a lot.

Black Hawk Down.

The only one that I haven't seen on here yet (surprisingly) and like is Inglourious Basterds. Everything else has already been mentioned.

I can't believe I didn't mention it. Maybe it's because it's hard for to see that as a War Movie as opposed to simply a Tarantino movie. His movies defy genres so much that I can't categorize them as anything but Tarantino movies.

The Thin Red Line
The Deer Hunter

Doesn't the Good the bad and the ugly take place during the civil war? That would be on my list if you'd count that, but other wise saving private ryan, I know, I'm a cliche lol

 

[Reinhardt]

Yes it does, and it is a brilliant film, in my top 5 of all-time films. But I wouldn't really consider it a "war" movie.

My favorite war movies in the order that I love:

Schindler's List (I consider this a war movie and it's my favorite)
Saving Private Ryan
Glory
Black Hawk Down
Platoon
We Were Soldiers
Honorable Mention: Band of Brothers

 

[K07]

Honorable Mention: Band of Brothers

That trumps all as far as I'm concerned. But it's not technically a movie. So I'd go with Saving Private Ryan. But if Band of Brothers counts, is switch my vote to that.

"Last Samurai" is probably next on my list. Does that one count?
