Greatest War Movie of All Time - Round One
Time for another poll to determine the greatest. This is one of my favorite genres and I'm excited what will happen. In order to get down to 64 I weeded out all comedies (Dr. Strangelove and MASH to name two) and movies that just happen to occur during wars (War and Peace, From Here to Eternity etc.). I ranked the 64 based on IMDBs average user rating, so don't blame me if the rankings are F'd up. Look for especially tough match-ups in group four, lots of solid choices there. Anyway, here's round one!

Heartbreak Ridge is a 15-seed? That's horrible, it's an awesome flick, but doesn't stand a chance vs. Full Metal Jacket!
Boo to the seeding - booooo! *Edit* Ditto for Hamburger Hill. You're killing me here.

Re: Greatest War Movie of All Time - Round One
I agree this one hurt, as I personally love Heartbreak Ridge. However, this was the rating at IMDB. Note that only two movies out of 64 got less than a 5 point average, which is pretty decent. This poll overall has much higher rated movies than my previous ones.

I haven't seen this movie in quite a few years. Was there any combat scenes in it, or did they just do simulated combat maneuvers? [I loved the scene where Clint effortlessly kicked the Swede's ass.] Side Note: Does anybody remember the 1970 T.V. movie "Tribes" staring Jan-Michael Vincent? (decent flick, can be rented at Eddie Brandt's Saturday Matinee in North Hollywood 1-818-506-4242).

Re: Greatest War Movie of All Time - Round One
Johnny Got His Gun is the greatest anti-war movie ever made, and therefore is bound to flunk this test.
FWIW, my picks: 1. Johnny Got His Gun 2. Platoon 3. Saving Pvt. Ryan 4. Black Hawk Down 5. All Quiet On The Western Front ... 64. Green Berets
