saving private Ryan
The band of brothers series The generation kill series Kellys heroes (workin on the railroad!) Enemy at the gates |
not to repeat those above.
The Battle of Britain (133 minutes of stiff upper lip) (on a similar vein but not quite as awesome Angels One Five) Where Eagles Dare (theres even an American in it) "Broadsword to Danny boy...". Put me off cable cars for life. The Battle for the River Platte, British WWII naval battle, been a long time but it came to mind easily so must have made an impression. |
Full Metal Jacket
Gardens of Stone Good Morning Vietnam Forest Gump Von Ryan's Express The Great Escape Apocalypse Now Das Boot |
Am I the only one that likes "Zulu"?
|
Apocalypse Now Re Dux is at the top of my list, always has been even before the Re Dux release.
A bridge to far Das Boot The Great Escape Good Morning Viet Nam Green Berets Kelly's Hero's Band of Brothers The Bridge on the River Kwai Schindlers List Wild Geese Zulu Blackhawk Down The Lost Battalion We Were Soldiers Once The Pianist Bridge at Remagen Braveheart Last of the Mohicans Exodus The Manchurian Candidate Battle of Britan Enemy at the Gates 1915 (Aussie Mini series) Battle of Algiers The Sea Wolves 12 O'Clock High Saboteur The Dogs of War Gallipoli I know I am missing a few... I have these on DVD. |
Father Goose
Operation Petticoat The Hunt for Red October (Cold War Movie) Stalag 17 The Great Escape There's zillions more. |
Saving Prv Ryan (scared me half to death I singed up for the draft before watching it)
Rules of Engagement (more latter) |
Father Goose
The Hunt for Red October Stalag 17 Forgot those! Good ones too! And add: Patriot Games |
Platoon
Glory Kelly's Heroes Bridge over the river Kwai Apocolypse Now A Bridge too Far das Boot M*A*S*H Guns of Navaronne The Great Escape I watched Flyboys tonight. It was better than advertised. Real plane stunts would have been cool but no stunt men were splattered in the making of this film. |

Full Metal Jacket ranks in my favorites of any kind of movie.
Saving Private Ryan Schindler's List |
Looking over everybody's lists, I like a lot of the movies on yours too!! However, I don't consider Schindler's List a military movie.
|
Yeah, well it is a war-related movie. Thats how I construed military to mean anyway.
|
Blackadder Goes Forth.
That's about as far as I go. |
lot's of good choices... yo Zippy... was 1949 a sequel? ;)
Sahara (1943, Bogart... wasser! wasser!) Lawrence of Arabia Letters from Iwo Jima Patton |
Blackadder Goes Forth? Isn't that a porn movie?
|
Jarhead.
For its quality of "It hurts my heart sometimes to know it's over." |
Stripes.
