What’s your favorite war movie

Growing up in a military family I watched almost every war movie. Tonight one of my favorites came on, Kelly’s hero’s. What is your favorite modern or classic war movie? Mine is the dirty dozen, but saving private Ryan or we were soldiers is a close second.

The Longest Day

Classic: Sergeant York

Modern: Platoon and Full Metal Jacket

That's a tough one. Saving Private Ryan probably, with We Were Soldiers, Full Metal Jacket, and Apocalypse now all coming in at second.

Full Metal Jacket
Black Hawk Down
13 Hours- Love this movie but also skyrockets the blood pressure knowing what happened.

Full metal jacket.

Master and commander

U571

All time favorite movie is Last of the Mohicans. Although We Were Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Patton, Rambo, Patriot, and several others rank high on my list. There’s also a couple of crusades movies I quite like as well as other medieval movies.


Pick your poison.

Fictional
Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket.
Based on true story
American Sniper, we Were Soldiers, Unbroken, Hacksaw Ridge

Last of the Mohicans is an awesome movie and filmed in my home state. I also forgot about lone survivor, the personal videos at the end get me every time.

Saving Private Ryan was amazing but if you've not seen 13 Hours, wow... What a phenomenal movie

Agreed Kelly’s hero’s is at top.

Close second Devils brigade.

The new movies while very good, they are to much like a documentaries to me. Makes it to real, in the end I just end up being mad/frustrated/useless feeling.

The older stuff, even if non fictional, gives me a different sense not quite quantifiable as entertainment but I m not mad at the end

Nobody said Deer Hunter yet!

Heartbreak Ridge

Lots of good ones, but the first to come to mind is Blackhawk Down. One of the only movies I can remember I left the theater almost exhausted it was so intense

This, I was familiar with the outcome since I read the book, and it was so accurate right down to the dialog. Attending was seriously a drain.
