Top ten war movies

[skypilot]

Seems like everybody has their favorites and more...all great picks. I'll take this theme a little further and ask if you were a movie producer with enough money say like Bill Gates, what kind of war movie would you make???...myself my first choice would be Operation Barbarossa, Germany's invasion of Russia in 1941. Would be filmed on location in the Ukraine, with extra cast in the tens of thousands. Lights...camera...tanks!

Someone mentioning "King Rat" reminded me of another great--let's call it army because it's really not a war film: "The Hill."

I seem to remember that Sean Connery was trying to break his typecasting as James Bond and made a film very much akin to "Paths of Glory."

Highly recommended.

Connery also had a bit part in The Longest Day, right around the time of his first Bond movie Dr. No. Before SPR the Longest Day was thee D-Day movie..I always thought it was a bit drawn out and top heavy casted but for it's time a good movie. Surprised it hasn't been mention yet.
