Best war film ever?

[Squishy3]

Gettysburg (all 4+ hours of it)
Saving Private Ryan
Sands of Iwojima
Zulu



Honorable Mention:
Band of Brothers - Because its a series and not a movie

I watched Gettysburg on VHS in class, it was like 20 tapes or something


Metal Gear Solid 4 because it's more movie than game  ;D

[Greatbacon]

Apocalypse Now is my top, although Platoon is also pretty good.

it actually depends on what kind of movies you like man... are you into art and accuracy?  or corporate hollywood bullshit that does nothing more than spray as much blood as they possibly can across the screen with no correlation to history whatsoever.

Depends on the movie, there are a lot of war movies that are fairly accurate, at least in they're portrayal of war. The actual characters may be altered, but the battle itself would be accurate.

They should totally make a CoD4 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Imran.

Jack Black as everything else.

Though I agree that indulgent violence does not a war movie make, you can scarcely say that art is about accuracy.

Good Morning, Vietnam?  Not exactly a "war" movie in the traditional sense, but awesome still.

[MrGrey]

no.. art is not accurate always..... but at least its original

Inglorious Basterds looks like it might be interesting.
