May 24, 201313 yr 1. Kelly's Heroes. Yeah I know, not your typical answer, but still my fav. 2. Saving Pvt Ryan 3. Force 10 from Navirone 4. The Dirty Dozen Those are the ones that come readily to mind. Pretty much the list I would have posted. Especially #1 and #4.
May 24, 201313 yr Almost surprised no one has mentioned the original Red Dawn yet. No. 7 in post 2; love that movie
May 24, 201313 yr Deer hunter. Apocalypse now. I was wondering when those two would show up, especially Apocalypse Now. Also not mentioned yet that deserve to be listed, the two Clint Eastwood movies - Letters from Iwo Jima and Flag of Our Fathers.
May 24, 201313 yr Deer hunter. Apocalypse now. Another obvious one that I forgot...Also kinda campy but I like The Green Berets with John Wayne too.
May 24, 201313 yr Author No. 7 in post 2; love that movie It's my eye's going bad in my old age. I have a love my 30's are going to be rough.:watching:
May 24, 201313 yr Author Orrrr Navy Seals? My favorite thing to do when playing games online is quote Bill Paxton with a "God Here" line after sniping someone from a couple hundred meters out. Easily one of my favorite lines from a war movie.
May 24, 201313 yr Deer hunter. Apocalypse now. Both are riveting movies in their own way. Saw the extended version of "Apocalypse" on TV a few months back. Also worth viewing: "El Alamein" (Italian movie, '02) "Master and Commander" "Gladiator" (for opening battle scene) "Paths of Glory" (Stanley Kubrick, '57) "Breaker Morant" "Young Winston" And don't forget about the excellent "In Country," based on the book by Bobbie Ann Mason.
May 25, 201313 yr Almost surprised no one has mentioned the original Red Dawn yet. Just saw the movie a few weeks ago. I did like it, but no way it make my top ten. Not sure I'd put it top 20.

May 25, 201313 yr Author Just saw the movie a few weeks ago. I did like it, but no way it make my top ten. Not sure I'd put it top 20. I wouldn't put it in my top 10 but I know there's a lot of fans out there.
May 25, 201313 yr I was wondering when those two would show up, especially Apocalypse Now. Also not mentioned yet that deserve to be listed, the two Clint Eastwood movies - Letters from Iwo Jima and Flag of Our Fathers. Love Letters from Iwo Jima, hated Flags of our Fathers. Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket are 1a and 1b for me.
May 25, 201313 yr Author They're miniseries but Band of Brothers and The Pacific are excellent as well. Fully intend to watch both of those all the way through this summer. Seen a good bit of Band of Brothers but not all of it.
May 25, 201313 yr I know most people do not pay attention to such things, but has there ever been a better photographed film than "Apocalypse Now"?
