Apocalypse Now or We were Soldiers spring to mind.

Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan. Both made it feel like I was "there"

Band of Brothers (TV series but still really good)

Flags of our forefathers adn letters from iwo jima

'If All Else Fails, Use The Hammer'

The Anzacs - great story following a group of farm hands etc through WW1. Paul Hogan is pretty much the only star in it that most would recognize. Was filmed around the 70-80's i think so some may consider it a bit dated. Good watch nontheless. Similar to Band of Brothers.

 

Kelly's Heros - great flick that EA ripped off when making BF:BC.

 

Windtalkers - good flick about native american's being used as code talkers in WW2.

 

Platoon - good flick

 

If your into older style ones, then:

The Longest Day

Battle Of Brittan

Battle Of The Bulge

are all pretty good.

There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.

Evil movie ruined by Nicholas Cages complete lack of skills as a actor. I would suggest pretty much everything else so far mentioned just not this movie.

 

OHHH and one that has not being mentioned so far Tour of Duty its a looks a little old compared to the new movies and TV shows but is still one of the best war television series ever.

Jarhead is alright.

But I second band of brothers, that series sucks you in to the point where you feel like you personally know each character.

Kippur

 

Waltz with Bashir

 

Full Metal Jacket

 

Apocalypse Now

 

Thin Red Line (book is better)

 

depends what kind of 'war' movie you want tho. Black Hawk down is trash imo for anyone who has read the book...sanitised to sin and back.

 

I'd recommend anyone to read the book Black Hawk down.

Mix of WAR/ACTION movies :)

Edited by Roy.Mustang

My fav war movies:

 

We Were Soldiers

Saving Private Ryan

Black Hawk Down

Apocalypse Now

Band of Brothers (TV series)

Good Conduct

http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/goodconduct.bmp

I'd recommend anyone to read the book Black Hawk down.

+1 to that, Eric Bannahs character in the movie is based on a number of different guys in the book. Also reading the book, the mental image it gives when describing the area they are fighting in is a lot more closed off than in the movie imo.

There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.

Battle of Britain (and i know its been said a few times but it really is a good movie, saw it when i was like 10 and still remember it)

 

Band of Brothers . . . DEFINATLY!!!

 

Black Hawk Down

 

Shooter . . . . :D i love this movie so much awsomeness involved!

http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg

yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
Shooter . . . . :D i love this movie so much awsomeness involved!

+1 to that, next time you watch it, check out the special features and the one on Marky Mark doing to sniper school. For once they did a sniper flick where they actually TRY and be as accurate (LOLZ0R beams set to ROFLOPTOR) as possible with what gear a sniper uses and how they setup their 'work area'
