Greatest War Film of All Time?

[Bad_MotherDucker]

Enemy at the Gates had a nice scene where Rachael Weisz gave Jude Law a handie through his wool commie soldier pants.

The Longest Day was a good war flick, too. John Wayne, Henry Fonda, lots of cameos by Brat Pack era stars.

Longest Day takes me back to rainy weekends watching old war movies with one of my dads on our little black and white tv.....Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, Sands of Iwo Jima. Pops wouldn't let me watch From Here to Eternity. Too much hetero sex for a youngun

+ A Bridge Too Far

I should have voted Apocalypse Now. The entire sequence with Robert Duvall, but especially when he says "someday this war is gonna end", wins the contest on its own.

Some notable omission and/or fuck ups:

Enemy at the Gates - Not the greatest script, but there just aren't enough good options about the Eastern Front where most of war happened.

Master and Commander - There are some corny parts, but there's no other film out there that rivals the sea battles between sailing ships.

Lawrence of Arabia - prolly should have made the cut here, but Peter O' Toole creeps me out much of the time.

Kelly's Heroes - Even though it's an action/comedy, this might be my favorite WWII of all tim.

Inglorious Bastards - I hate Tarantino sometimes, but Waltz plays the best Nazi officer ever on film.

Braveheart - Should have clarified this was about war movies from the 1754 to the present.

Spartacus - Slave revolts aren't really about war.

Hunt for Red October - Cold war thrillers are not war movies.

MASH - Race is right on this one. Terrific film.

So you add an Honorable Mention section and still forget The Deer Hunter? I never realized tall people were dumb.

Also, Master and Commander is the tits. HOLD FAST

What about Star WARS??? Hardy har har...

A&E did a movie called the Lost Battalion with Ricky Schroeder that was good.

Can’t believe I forgot Black Hawk Down - I almost ended up in Somalia after that incident.

Agree on all the above mentioned older flicks except both my dads liked watching them.

Listen, fly-boy, I think parts of that film are great but fuck any movie that tries to shoot a hunting scene in Pennsyltucky with glaciers in the background. There haven't been glaciers in PA since the last ice age. HTH.

I LOVE Master and Commander.

I’m also surprised @Swaye hasn’t mentioned Windtalkers.

Not technically a war movie. Still great inspite of Tom Cruise. I got to go to a private air show at Miramar as a kid once. Way kewl.

Now only douchey Persians fly F-14s.

If Maverick vs. Iceman isn't war, I don't know what is.
