all depends on the generation you belong to. if you're 50+ of course you're going to enjoy apocalype now (amazing movie btw) more than saving private ryan. i voted saving private ryan because i enjoyed it a little more. a tough vote IMO

I can't wait for the FMJ vs. Platoon match-up. If we get a few people to come to their senses and vote AN over SPR, we could have an all Vietnam war final.

SPR is a good film no doubt, but this poll is officially a joke if Apocalypse Now doesn't even make the final four.

All the remaining movies are worthy, but if I was to pick the best of the best war films it would be...

Band Of Brothers

and it's not even close.

It kind of gets screwed because it is a mini-series. However, if you classify it as a film, it is the best war movie of all time. No contest; end of discussion.

Stalag 17 being eliminated is such an injustice.

I personally do not consider this a "War Movie", as there are no battle scenes.

wtf why are people woting for SPR over Apocalypse Now [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Greatest War Movie of All Time - Elite Eight
 

Because it's a better [censored] movie.

Is this so hard to understand.

The title is Greatest War movie.

Apocalypse Now wasn't about war.

With the kind of leaden, resounding obviousness and milking of sentimentality that's Spielberg's personal curse.

It pains me that he insists on ruining otherwise good films with this crap.
