Put down some of your favorite war movies.

I love "Patton" and "Saving Private Ryan"

Ridley Scott's "Blackhawk Down" was so real.

"The Longest Day"

"A Bridge Too Far"

"Battle of the Bulge"

There are many others.

I am going to try and think of others.

Hard to compare different wars, I hate to pick a favorite.

Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter-- great stories-- not enough war.

Gods and Generals--Stonewall Jackson (home boy)

Gettysburg had a crummy ending (JMO)

Realistic- Saving Private Ryan (I've never been in a war--JMO)

Platoon

Hamburger Hill

Patton

Enemy at the Gate is a pretty good sniper movie.

I liked that movie as well. Mel Gibson played the colonel.

When it was first released, Fox interviewd the colonel that the book and movie was about.

Wow, that is a tough one. Patton was great, but I mainly loved it for the speech he gave the troops at the very beigging of the movie. " America loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser..No one ever won a war by dying for his country, he won it by making the other yellow bellied son of b!#@# die for his."

  Apocolypse now is one of my favorite movies of all times. Again some awesome quotes in there. : "We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'f@(%' on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
  and
 "Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. "


Black Hawk Down followed the book as close to any movie I have ever seen. And the Author of the book went to painstaking detail in interviewing and recording what the men saw heard felt and smelled. So it was probably one of the "closest to real movies" ever made.

Loved the "Dirty Dozen" and To "Hell and Back."

"Tora! Tora! Tora!" I liked as well. Showed all the mistakes US made leading up to Pearl Harbor.

The mini-series "Band of Brothers" was good at times, slow at others.

I haven't seen the mini-series "Pacific" but read it was good.
