If you are not into modern war movies but just great war movies, go watch Troy or King Arthur, two of my favorite war movies.

CDSmith · 04-07-2011, 05:37 AM

Patton
Midway
Raid on Rommel
Sahara (the original w/Humphrey Bogart)

what the hell are you talking about? It's a movie, name any that are absolute historically accurate and I'll show you one fucking dull movie...

..and for the record the people of that generation, including vets, LOVED that movie. If you can't recognize it as being a good one then you have no place in this debate...

spazlabz · 04-07-2011, 07:20 AM

Damn a lot of great movies listed in this thread. Every one of the ones I was going to suggest are already here so Happy Watching

I just watched Full Metal Jacket with my boys this past weekend and they asked me if that is what bootcamp is really like... My response; "Yes, that's how it WAS"

J. Falcon · 04-07-2011, 07:46 AM

Yes... it IS a good movie...

Shame it gives the wrong impression about "honour" though...

Just my moral duty to point out the fantasy from the reality...

Chezter · 04-07-2011, 10:41 AM

Full Metal Jacket

brassmonkey · 04-07-2011, 10:45 AM

NBBCash Matze · 04-07-2011, 01:07 PM

hmm the best were already mentioned but you should also check out: "Tora! Tora! Tora!", "The Sound of War", "9th Company" & "Tunnel Rats" are quite enjoyable movies.

"Das Boot" is a great one too.

AnimeFevers · 04-07-2011, 01:15 PM

pearl harbour, Saving Private Ryan and that japanese war movie, can't quite remember the name. I think its called "Letters from iwo jima"

Far-L · 04-07-2011, 01:32 PM

Fuck that... Bridge over River Kwai is ok only in that sanitized blockbuster sort of way, but having known someone that actually was interned there, it is grossly innacurate and disgraceful to the people that actually survived the experience. Much closer to the truth and the grisliness of that episode in history is "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence"

My recommendations are:

"Iron Cross" - Sam Peckinpah's film based on the real life exploits of a highly decorated, anti-nazi german commando during WW2

"Seven Samurai" - Classic and still holds up to this day

"Empire of the Sun" - I think this is one of Speilberg's best war films... resonates for me more than Ryan or even Schindler in retrospect

"The Thin Red Line" - elegaic, tragic, and unlike 99% of the uber-patriotic-quasi-fascist fair that is typical of so many war movies

"Breaker Morant" - How many other films do you know about the Boer War?

Far-L · 04-07-2011, 02:46 PM

Some classics of ancient warfare...

I know some people hate this movie but if you can find the right version it is certainly better than a lot of people give credit for it... "Alexander the Great" Oliver Stone's version. Pretty amazing depictions of phalanx style warfare and two incredible battle scenes that serve as bookends to the film

"Musa" (The Warrior) Korean knights trying to fight their way out of Mongol controlled lands, pretty entertaining...

"Mongol" which is just a great movie about you guessed it... Ghengis Khan, but before he became Khan
