Movies Best war film?

Which is the best war film out there>?< <From different time periods/\between different nations>

 

I voted for Saving Private Ryan, because its still one of my favorite movies

 

I cast my vote for "Dr. Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". It's not a war movie per say but it is a movie about the Cold War.

~ Lady Aoi: I watched Dr.Strangelove two days after 9/11. Eerie that I laughed, ne?

 

You fools, the best war film ever is easily Apocalypse Now. Often copied, never equaled. One of the best films of all time ever bar none.

 

If your talking Modren war For a movie that was most realistic and stuff I vote for Enemy At the Gates.

I just happened to like that one the Most..

I have never heard of the movie "Apocalypse Now"
.. could you tell me about it?Is it an old movie? Who acts in it?Whats the story is about?

I once say this old war movie about the war in Vietnam. A young mel Gibson was staring in that movie. I cant remember the name of the movie, but if someone does.. please tell me

 

I think the Movie your thinking about is ... Galaloopa Or something along those lines.. it has Mel Gibson during the first world war. He serves in a Austrailian Reg in the trench wars over in africa I think..!

WHAT THE HELL?!?! You haven't heard of it? It stars Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando, it's directed by Francis Ford Coppola, it's from the early eighties, it's insane(in a cool way). It's about this guy who gets a mission to assasinate an ex-us army officer who went mad and stuff. It's all heart of darkness an all, and it's absolutly brilliant. Get thee to a video shop this instant!

 

I cant believe that i never heard of this movie !!>?<!!
Im certainly going to rent the movie .. after my trip to Cypres

 

WHAT THE HELL!!

The best movies, well there are quite a few of them.

1. Saving private Ryan
2. Apocalypse Now is good, but too over praised or something
like that
3. The Thin Red Line (origina superior to remake)
4. All quiet on the western front (Original Suprior to remake)
5. Anime: Grave of the Fireflies (Sad movie)
6. Platoon
7. Deer Hunter (Best Vietnam Movie)

and if you like to read try slaughter house 5 if you haven't read it yet.

and Anti-War movies are better than War movies. Period.

 

Yeah, Anti-war films can be good. I saw Catch 22 a few weeks back, talk about your mind ****s. Every single one of the main characters ends up either dead or insane. Or both. I'd highly recomend it, but not to the easily disturbed.

 

I voted Saving Private Ryan because that is a pretty good movie - my fav is Forest Gump but does that count as a war movie? oro

 

deer hunter, apocalypse now redux (love the playboy bunny stuff , schindler's list are all exceptional films.

however, my fave war film is the iron cross, a little-known gem, directed by sam peckinpah (slow-mo king), and depicting the final stages of the war form the german point of view. very depressing, but a worthy study of friendship,loyalty and blind subordination.
