Re: Best war film ever? - ScottyGrayskull - 03-17-2009
Definitely not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but TAPS is noteworthy at the least because it predicted the level of crazy that Tom Cruise would eventually reach.

windtalkers? lol jesus christ you have no taste
full metal jacket and saving private ryan
Re: Best war film ever? - copulatingduck - 03-17-2009
IMO Full Metal Jacket was good for the first 30-45 minutes, after that it was nothing noteworthy. Saving Private Ryan and Apocalypse Now were great films throughout.
Surprised Mr Grey didn't mention Fahrenheit 9/11 and the War On Terror 8)

Not really into war films. 300 is probably the closest to the genre amongst my favourites. I'll second Caff's shout for Band of Brothers though, that was ace. Although, weirdly enough, I hated Saving Private Ryan.

It's prolly the best there is.

Bridge Over the River Kwai
Re: Best war film ever? - Eschatos - 03-17-2009
Have any of you even seen Kelly's Heroes?
Re: Best war film ever? - cbre88x - 03-17-2009
I'm glad there is a lot of appreciation for the BoB. I love that series. And if you don't already know, another series by exec producers Tom Hanks and Spielberg is coming out on HBO later this year called "The Pacific" It covers the lives of three marines and battles of Pacific arena including: Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, and Okinawa.

Just kidding. My vote would have to go towards Platoon.Â

Dr. Strangelove (Cold War)
I'm going to go ahead and say it does count. There's a scene where the Earth succumbs to nuclear armaggedon, for Chrissakes.
