Favorite War Movie ever

[DodgeLad]

Not the greatest, but your favorite. Only list one. I'll start with Midway. Tremendous cast, realistic to point it's almost a documentary. Has some of my favorite actors of all time...Henry Fonda, James Coburn, Tom Selleck, hell even Larry Csonka is in it.

 

[mguner]

The Great Escape

very hard to stop there....

 

[RustyRatRod]

In Harm's Way.

 

[ocdart]

Wow, tough to pick one from the first three listed. All great flicks.
How about "Battle of the Bulge" from WWII, and "We Were Soldiers" from Vietnam?

 

[mguner]

Maybe break it down to Air, Land and Sea......

I'd have to go with Full Metal Jacket.

We Were Soldiers!

Here's another one nobody's mentioned yet, Twelve O'Clock High.
Great movie with Gregory Peck as Gen. Frank Savage.

Oh come on.
Can' t pick just one.
But that one made my wife, who does not like "war movies"............... cry.
And there is not one shot fired in the movie.

Does this second one I'm listing count as a war movie?
Some movies transcend greatness.

Because, you know Bullitt.
A movie good enough have it's own web site.

Yep.
Very high casualty rate in the 8th.
And an accurate movie.

You might want to watch this then if that area of the war interest you.
True story before PTSD was understood.
