Default 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.

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.

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

My votes are inaccurate because about 1/2 the movies i have never heard of or never saw.

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.

Great poll. I just wish I could vote in more matchups. Looks like I've got some movies to see.
