Seems like I have always enjoyed watching war movies since I was a young kid. Now don't get me wrong I'm not a war hawk or anything, but a good war flick stirs something inside of me...here are my picks, feel free to comment.

1.) Saving Private Ryan (1998)...should be shown uncut on tv every Veterans Day.
2.) Das Boot (1981)....get the directors cut, my favorite foreign war movie.
3.) Twelve O'Clock High (1949)...actual war footage ties in..Peck at his best.
4.) They Were Expendable (1945)...John Fords underrated classic.
5.) Patton (1970)...George C. Scott's role of a lifetime..better on the big screen.
6.) Stalingrad (1993)...gritty, one of the best about the Eastern Front.
7.) Mr. Roberts (1955)..a great study of human character and endurance.
8.) All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)...the war to end all wars..classic to watch.
9.) Gettysburg (1993)...best Civil War movie period..part one of a trilogy.
10.)The Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)...the Marines and John Wayne a natural fit.

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