Your Favourite War Movies?

[BruceSmith]

Hey all,

I've been looking for some good movies as of late but cant seem to find some solid opinions.

War movies based on WW1,WW2 and Vietnam tickle my fancy so any recommendations send my way.

Oh, and I like action

[Luke Warmwater]

here's some action for you......

[LuMPyPussy]

The Hurt Locker is supposed to be very good, but I think it's later than you specified.

[Cynical Ninja]

Shaving Ryan's Privates.

[username]

God damn! Its a soup rooster!

[WhiskeyTaintgo]

I dont like war movies.

[LuMPyPussy]

I liked Lord of the Rings, does that count?

Das Boot
U571
The Thin Red Line
Saving Private Ryan
We Were Soldiers

[LuMPyPussy]

Band of Brothers, but that's a mini-series.

[Lady Cop]

not at all historically accurate, but "Inglourious Basterds"(sic) was quite powerful.

[twisteroo]

The big red one.
Patton.
Battle of the bulge.
Kelly's Heros.
The great escape.
Bridge on the river kwai.
The sand pebbles.
Stalag 13.
To hell and back.
Sgt York.
In Harm's Way.

[LuMPyPussy]

I LOVE Sgt York but then I've got a soft spot for Gary Cooper... I loved him in Pride of the Yankees, too.

The only thing in your life that gets any 'action' you retarded slug, is your fingers.

He's clearly a Brit ("favourite"). Some relation to OP maybe?

[Cynical Ninja]

Not guilty.

In the far east people are taught how to spell in proper English otherwise known as "correctly".

Band of Brothers, but that's a mini-series.

+1000 on that. Band of Brothers was so real, so dirty and gritty that it made several of the WWII vets I know break down and cry.

[LuMPyPussy]

I read somewhere that they're going to do a 'sequel' and have the story in the Pacific theater.

[twisteroo]

I've seen bits and pieces of band of brothers, it look like quality stuff.

[Luke Warmwater]

Not that I'm answering "bruce 'I'm queer as a three dollar bill'" question...

but I'm really surprised no one has mentioned The Deer Hunter...
