No ones mentioned Deer Hunter. Tis a class movie also.

A.N. is on top for me also. Amazing.

[quote=pretence";p="64052]No ones mentioned Deer Hunter. Tis a class movie also. [/quote]

[quote=bananapeel";p="63939] I would like to also suggest people check out Deerhunter. Yeah an early De Niro film. Now that's an under-rated war movie that most people don't mention or have not seen before. Sure it's 3 hours maybe a little too long, but that was so intense for me. Christopher Walken gives a bloody amazing performance.[/quote]

Smart arse aren't I... :WinkNSmi:

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

[quote=bananapeel";p="63938][quote=supaz";p="63541]Out of all the people I work with, only one person likes Apocalypse Now! I don't get it, how can one not love that movie?

the soundtrack is tripped the F out, and the characters, Brando, Sheen, Hopper, Ford...

Laurence Fishburne! some people miss this, but he was Mr. Clean on the boat....(Swift Boat - lol). He was like a kid![/quote]

I think most people write off the movie just because of the last 30 minutes, but that is an unfair assesment.
Most people look for closure in a movie, an understanding; but when they have an ending they just don't get, a lot of them just say I wasted my time, it's not an enjoyable movie.

For me I'm really interested in many aspects of the art of cinema, like the characters and how the director develops them, the music, the way scenes are shot, etc. Sure I may not really get the ending of AN, but hey the movie as a whole is great like you said supaz about the characters.

(P.S. supaz, you must be a big movie fan? :wink: )[/quote]

yeah man, I dig movies. I'm going to check out the Deerhunter. i've always heard it's a great movie, but now i'm sold on it.

i'm so glad that, "Pearl Harbor" wasn't mentioned!

Black hawk down or Enemy at the Gates

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Das boot Saving private ryan Enemy at the Gates Black hawk down Platoon :Bingo:

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Apocalypse Now

and in 2nd place... Kelly's Heroes

Black Hawk Down!

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

No particular order except one:

1. Saving Private Ryan - 'nuff said. The first 30 minutes gave me a whole new respect for those who fought in WWII...or any war for that matter

Full Metal Jacket - Me and my brother wore the tape out when we were little

Black Hawk Down - Ridley Scott was the star of that movie

We Were Soldiers - Mel Gibson's best performance?

Mega Force - Anyone remember this one? Chuck Norris as Ace Stryker. Classic!!!

Enemy at the Gates - Only saw it once, like 3 years ago. Still love what I remember.

Band of Brothers - If this was one movie it would be the best. Instead its the best mini-series of all time.

saving private ryan without question

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Troy :Tongue: eheheh just kidding

of course Saving private Ryan Steven rullzz

one of my mates was just talking about these a couple of weeks ago and said they were brilliant movies. we were soldiers is on my list of must sees :Bingo:

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

I don't think anyone said the Memphis Belle. This is one of my all time favorites. Others would include;

Green Berets (John Wayne is the shit) Saving Private Ryan We were soldiers The Patriot Full Metal Jacket Apocalypse Now Platoon

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Shaving Ryan's Privates?

Sorry :(

platoon hands down apocalypse now & deer hunter tied for second

Not so known great films,

The longest day. red dawn force 10 from naverone

plus all the newer ones, spr bhd band of brothers

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

saving private ryan shindler's list braveheart the patriot red dawn the last samuri

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

black hawk down. would be my top pick..but there are a lot of good ones

but black hawk showed a realistic view...ie a lot of mag changes

i just hate to a movie where i a guy can shoot 200 rounds from a 30 rounds magazine... then again i just have to shut off reasoning sometimes.... like watching resident evil 2 ...watching milla shot is a turn on...hehehe

a real old one: "the great escape" with steve mcqueen...

[quote=bdeau_spinner";p="65483]Not so known great films,

red dawn[/quote]

[b][size=6]WOLVERINES!!!![/size][/b]

Another classic from my childhood.

The beginning part, where the dudes parachute in from out of nowhere and take over the school. Scared me shitless. :Who:

Difficult. But..Saving Private Ryan.

My alltime favourite movie (and warmovie) is Apocalypse Now! Redux. I also like Full Metal Jacket. Specially the sniper scene at the end, it's so realistic.

Re: What is your favorite war movie?

Sc-Fi war movie - Star Wars (all of em)

WW2 movie - Tie between Saving Private Ryan & Apocalypse Now

Medieval War movie - Braveheart
