Yeah, Apocalypse Now should be up there--that was an oversight; Deerhunter is already there though. I've never seen Thin Red Line but more's the better.

If so, does Top Secret count? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Also thought of another one: Turk 182. And add Uncommon Valor as a borderline "war" movie.

tigerland and thin red line should be on that list

Add: Apocalypse Now

I'm not sure I'd put movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Braveheart and Gone with the Wind on this list. These movies are much more than just war movies, even though they take place during wars etc. If you want to expand it to include movies like these also add Gladiator, Troy, Alexander, and Cold Mountain.
