What about Operation Dumbo Drop?!?!?!

This movie is far more deserving of a spot on the poll than the patriot.

This is definitely going to be a painful poll when the favorites get cut. I'm already mourning that The Thin Red Line is losing in round friggin' one. Anyway, my favorites on the list in order:

1. The Thin Red Line
2. Full Metal Jacket
3. Gallipoli
4. Paths of Glory
5. Casualties of War
6. Glory
7. Apocalypse Now
8. A Midnight Clear
9. Tigerland
10. The Big Red One

All ten of those are masterpieces, and there's a few other solid ones on there. WTF is happening to Tigerland? Has no one seen Colin Farrell's best performance ever?

Much like war, OOTers voting makes little sense. I've actually never seen Tigerland, but based on your recommendation I'll check it out this week.

You're a disgrace to your screen name putting Full Metal Jacket @ 2.

Gallipoli just missed my top 5.

Rambo 2 and 3 were excellent. McArthur and Glory were good too.

Zulu is a great movie. Much, much better than Enemy At The Gates. I am sad to see it losing this early in the poll. Don't just vote for Enemy at The Gates (with arguably the WORST sex scene ever) because you have seen it and not Zulu.

FFS I am going to be off on one already Zulu is a complete classic film, enemy at gates is a decent hollywood movie but isnt better.

For me the longest Day and a Bridge too far for older films Platoon is a decent film as well.

I see troubles ahead in this movie poll.
