Top ten war movies

[Shwamdoo]

few honorable mentionables...Cross of Iron, Gallopli, Stalag 17 and the Blue Max.

Did you mean Gallipoli? If so, yeah your right. It wasn't a great war movie. To its credit, it was fairly historically accurate.

Patton was a great movie, the American flag sceen is amazing on a big screen.

Saving Private Ryan is simply in a league of its own.

All Quiet On The Western Front is timeless. It is not as entertaining as many war films but it provides insight and much of the footage is real.

The Lost Battalion was a made for TV movie that aired on A&E in 2001. It is one of my favorite war movies and it is extremly factual.

Man, you guys are serious about your war movies! I dunno, I think a "war" flick doesn't necessarily have to be about the war itself but can be set with a war as the backdrop. With that in mind, in no particular order:

1) Band of Brothers (mini-series yes, but still the best war movie ever made, IMO)
2) Saving Private Ryan
3) Shindler's List
4) The Dirty Dozen
5) Midway
6) Kelly's Heros
7) Mash
8) Platoon (I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet)
9) Das Boot
10) Glory

Honorable mention to Apocalypse Now, Force 10 From Navarone, Good Morning Vietnam, & Memphis Belle.
