Favorite War flick?

[Joe Bob]

Full Metal jacket is mine.....


Apocalypse Now is up there......

Saving Private Ryan had the most realistic opening scene.

Some of the b&w flicks from back in the day are OK......

Talk among your selves, have a cawfee, bagel and a schmear....

Favorite TV watch back in the day was "Battle of the Bulge.". Others were "The Guns of Navorone," "The Dirty Dozen," "Where Eagles Dare," "Kell'y's Heros,"and of course, "The Great Escape.". As you can tell, the older films made an impact on me, probably as they were shown on TV well before cable and were a highly anticipated event for a young boy to enjoy during sleep over at a friend's house.

Steve McQueen getting tossed his mitt and ball going to the cooler......

The tongue to cheek by Sutherland.....classic.

And then "oddball".....

[ledhedsymbols]

The Great Escape and Kelly's Heroes are mine.

I also think Glory is fantastic! Escape From Sobibor is another good one. Does Schindler's List count? Another incredible movie.

[Bob Kontak]

Full Metal Jacket. Yes.

Private Ryan was different and arguably better. Just not my favorite.

star wars

band of brothers was not a flick but very good

Oh! I almost forgot In Harm's Way. The Duke and Kirk Douglas among others, great movie!

^^^this, plus They Were Expendable, The Longest Day, Stalag 17, and The Great Escape.

[MBAtarga]

Saving Private Ryan
... and Das Boot - for the best sub movie

[rusnak]

The Big Red "1", A Bridge Too Far, and Midway

[dafischer]

Old one...1957, The Enemy Below, with Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens. One US destroyer vs one German U Boat, and both captains are determined to win.

Also, The Great Escape and Von Ryan's Express.

[devodave]

Tora, Tora, Tora was another.

Hard to pick just one......most already mentioned are on my list.

"Midway" was a good one - especially from a historical perspective.

Also "We were Soldiers".
