Favourite War Movies? - patience - 01-29-2010
Hey all,
I've been looking for some good movies as of late but cant seem to find some solid opinions.
War movies based on WW1,WW2 and Vietnam tickle my fancy so any recommendations send my way.
Oh, and I like action

I love "Apocalypse Now" and "Full Metal Jacket". Off the top of my head, those are my favorite.

Saving Private Ryan
Blackhawk Down (yes its not WWI, WWII, or Vietnam, but the action was good even if it was somewhat inaccurate in certain aspects)
Hamburger Hill
Heartbreak Ridge
Bravo Two Zero (Operation Desert Storm)
Most modern war movies are very anti-war, but I watch them for the action, even if Hollywood is trying to subtly suggest I'm a baby killer.

Saving Private Ryan
Von Ryan's Express
The Great Escape
Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Longest Day
While some of the newer movies have all the action now, I prefer mostly the older classics for war films.

Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Edward Fox, Elliot Gould, Gene Hackman -- an all-star cast.
It's historically accurate.
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN -- 1969
Another all-star cast, including Michael Caine, Lawrence Olivier, Christopher Plummer, Ralph Richardson, Robert Shaw. . . .

I like period pieces, like Zulu! (also starring Michael Caine), and the Sharpe's Rifles series starring Sean Bean.

And yes, that was a good movie even though it wasn't very historically accurate.
(But then I get a little too nit picky.)
