Ressurrecting: Best War Movie Ever!
Here are the movies mentioned in the previous thread. I've eliminated epics that are more drama than war, as well as goofy stuff that shouldn't be considered. Is this list missing anything? Should any of these be eliminated? Beernutz, if you want to pick this back up feel free, it's too important a poll to be forgotten!!!!
A Bridge Too Far Battle of the Bulge Big Red One Black Hawk Down Boys in Company C Courage Under Fire Das Boot U-571 From Here to Eternity Full Metal Jacket Glory Hamburger Hill Kelly's Hero's Patton Platoon Run Silent Run Deep Saving Pvt. Ryan Sergeant York Soldier of Orange Stalag 17 The African Queen The Bridge over the River Kwai The Caine Mutiny The Deerhunter The Dirty Dozen The Eagle has Landed The Great Escape The Guns of Navarone The Longest Day Tora, Tora, Tora We Were Soldiers Where Eagles Dare Zulu Apocalypse Now The Thin Red Line To Hell and Back Tigerland Gods & Generals Midway The Bedford Incident Gallipoli Breaker Morant Born on the Fourth of July All Quiet on the Western Front The Patriot Casualties of War Catch-22 M*A*S*H Enemy at the Gates Iron Cross Paths of Glory Idi I Smotiri Tae Guk Gi War and Peace Three Kings Heartbreak Ridge The Beast The Green Berets Flight of the Intruder Missing in Action Jonny Got His Gun The Enemy Below Sink the Bismarck!

Re: Ressurecting: Best War Movie Ever!
You can probably eliminate movies that simply use the war as a backdrop, like "Victory". Otherwise, you have to include stuff like "Gone With the Wind", etc.

Re: Ressurecting: Best War Movie Ever!
Good point. Victory is off the list. Any others that fit into this category?

Re: Ressurecting: Best War Movie Ever!
"Lawrence of Arabia" should be on the list. "Casablanca" maybe, too. There are just too many war movies or movies that are set durring wars so they could be considered war movies or some other genre. This is kind of like voting for the best western, I think you need to constrain it more.
Edit "Black and White in Color" is another one I recall, but I cannot remember if it was any good (I saw it when I was <10 I think.) |
