War Movies

[Flaptail]

How could I forget the best "Henry Fonda in "Mr. Roberts"!

[fishpoopoo]

band of brothers has to top the list.

saving private ryan is also a stirring film.

glory (matt broderick et al) is inspiring.

midway and tora...tora...tora! are perennial favorites. the bridge over the river kwai. merill's mauraders.

loved blacksheep squadron tv series.

a bridge too far, the longest day, the dirty dozen, the eagle has landed, force ten from navarone, the big red one - good WWII flicks made in the '70's.

patton gives me goose bumps.

i watch das boot over and over and over again. same with run silent, run deep.

who can forget the green berets? apocalypse now, full metal jacket, hamburger hill, they were soldiers (if you haven't seen this mel gibson flick run out and get it).

i lump bridges at toko-ri and blackhawk down together in the "depressing ending" category.

any movie where you see feudal japs killing each other. like "ran" or "kagemusha" (kurosawa is one of my favorite directors).
