What is the greatest war movie of all time?

[SUPERCOACH]

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

^^^THIS^^^

and also Midway.  I have both of them on DVD.

I saw Pearl Harbor at the iMax theatre.  Those battle scenes where amazing in 3D on that iMax screen.  You really felt like you were there with the screen taking up your whole field of view.  I can still picture that scene where the camera followed the bomb out of the bomb bay and all the way to impact on the deck of the ship.

Not on my top 25 list but "Andersonville" about the south's POW camp was a captivating subject.

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."
 

I love the smell of napalm in the morning...

   Side note. My sister used to date a guy who was an "O" lineman for Bama. ( was on the '92 Sugar Bowl Team). He, being as big and ugly as he was, had a shirt with the image of Charles Manson on the front. The quote for the pic? "Charlie Don't Surf!!"

Don't forget about Midway. Used real flight footage.
 I also love Band of Brothers.

Sgt York was also a good one.

This^ Not only is this my favorite war movie, it's one of my all-time favorite movies, period. The Patriot was good also.

I know this is intended to be a serious war movie thread but two of my favorite war movies are "Stripes" and "MASH".

Recruiter " Have you ever been convicted of a crime?"

Bill Murray " Convicted? No, never convicted."
