Favorite War Movies

[Lake Alice]

I was going to say Patton. What's the line, "I'm a prima donna, just like Monty, but at least I admit it"?

[Lake Alice]

The movie is based on the Hampton Sides book Ghost Soldiers, I believe. Read the book, it's great.

RobertELee....I saw that one a month or two ago. I enjoyed it.

My fav's....

First and foremost has to be Band of Brothers. Simply awesome. Interviews with the actual people is priceless too. Ya gotta give a lot of love and respect for those guys (and for anyone who has been in war).

Tora Tora Tora is another good one.

Really like Midway. Turning point on the war in the Pacific!

We Were Soldiers is powerful too.

Oh yeah...can't forget about Saving Private Ryan either!

I really enjoy the WWII movies. My grandpa was in Europe and I ALWAYS enjoy hearing his stories.

I don't know if it was a big screen movie or a tv movie but I really liked Gettysburg. Martin Sheen was kind of hard to believe as General Lee but he wasn't too bad. The whole idea of friends and family knowing they were shooting at eachother is hard to get my mind around.

[troutmaster]

Windtalkers was another good one that nobody mentioned.

[nytelyter]

Zulu--- awesome long drawn out British movie with exteme end

oddities

Dr. Strangelove. by far but the music? huh and when George Scott describes a B-52 flying low and puts his arms out like wings "frying chickens in the barnyard"

Father Goose--- a good family movie

Sea Chase--- John Wayne is the captain of a German tramp steamer

Ace of Aces

All Quiet on the Western Front

African Queen, War movie or adventure or love story

Dirty Dozen

darnation Alley, maybe not a real movie

Devil's Brigade

Dr. Strangelove or how I quit worrying and came to love the Bomb

[pocketknife]

I forgot mention in the last post the reason I need more movies is after going thru this post that there are some good movies others put out that I need to get.
