May 5, 200520 yr My all time fav is Full Metal Jacket. Other favs: Saving Private Ryan Glory I can't think of others right now.
May 5, 200520 yr 1. Full Metal Jacket 2. The Great Escape 3. The Dirty Dozen 4. Apocalypse Now 5. Saving Private Ryan
May 5, 200520 yr Saving Private Ryan Patton Bridge On the River Kwai Great Escape Dirty Dozen Bridge Too Far Longest Day They are all equally good in my eyes.
May 5, 200520 yr Saving Private Ryan Patton Bridge On the River Kwai Great Escape Dirty Dozen Bridge Too Far Longest Day They are all equally good in my eyes. 764122[/snapback] Thanks for reminding me of Great Escape. Move that one right up to #2 on my list.
May 6, 200520 yr Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi A New Hope The Phatom Menace Attack of the Clones
May 6, 200520 yr Steve McQueen as "Cooler King" Hilts, easily one of the coolest characters ever played in any movie.
May 6, 200520 yr Bridge on the River Kwai is 100% Hollywood. I liked: Midway Saving Private Ryan The Great Escape Patton Tuskegee Airmen and a dark horse - Behind Enemy Lines
May 6, 200520 yr I never could take Owen Wilson serious after Zoolander. I actually like The Thin Red Line, although it jumped around a lot. The cinematics and score were amazing in my opinion.
May 6, 200520 yr I never liked Vietnam era movies....there was always a message in it, whereas in WW2 era movies, it was just about kicking Kraut ass
May 6, 200520 yr Patton on a level of its own. Probably cuz Patton is one of my favorite historical figures, but anyways. Apocalypse Now Platoon Glory Saving Private Ryan And, IMO the most underrated war movie of all time, Tora! Tora! Tora!
May 6, 200520 yr And, IMO the most underrated war movie of all time, Tora! Tora! Tora! 765013[/snapback] Well said. I should also add All Quiet on the Western Front to that list as well.
May 7, 200520 yr Braveheart anyone? That's more of an epic hero tale than anything. I've always thought of it as the movie version of Beowulf
May 7, 200520 yr in no particular order Full Metal Jacket Apocalypse Now The Thin Red Line Das Boot All Quiet On the Western Front *give a nod also to Band of Brothers which I know was a series, but nevertheless.
May 7, 200520 yr Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi A New Hope The Phatom Menace Attack of the Clones 764817[/snapback] :plain
May 9, 200520 yr Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi A New Hope The Phatom Menace Attack of the Clones 764817[/snapback] End yourself!
