RETIREDFAN1 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I can't believe that The Bridge on the River Kwai is not getting more votes.....That was a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachb Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 if you consider Braveheart, then I say Gladiator  what about the new one, Flags of Our Fathers? has anyone seen it, and if so, how good is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawsnstripes Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 i guess gladiator would be a war movie since the opening scene is one of the best war sequences that i've seen. good one coachb, i'll add that to my list as well. braveheart too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CNOrtega Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Ortega's Top 5 Â 1. We Were Soldiers 2. Black Hawk Down 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. Platoon 5. Stripes! (Not exactly a war movie, but it is a military movie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase.colston Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 1. We Were Soldiers 2. Braveheart 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. Apocalypse Now 5. Full Metal Jacket  ... for me, it would be hard to take We Were Soldiers out of that No. 1 spot. It's got a great mix of situations and personalities involved in an even better story.

Middle Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah, I didn't care for Pearl Harbor, for the reason bleeds mentioned. If it was more about Cuba Gooding Jr., then it would have been an awesome war movie. Â For any of you out there who have seen "Team America," the song about Pearl Harbor is absolutely hilarious.

Polar_Bear Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Those are all good ones, and some bring back memories of times previously viewed. Now if you want to get way out there and include planetary movies...Then:  Star Wars (all of them, but especially the original) Starship Troopers Independence Day  But back to life on earth, I would have to say my favorites are:  1. Patton 2. Midway 3. Braveheart 4. Behind Enemy Lines 5. The Longest Day 6. Sands of Iwo Jima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bleedsbluengold24 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Let's not get too far out there. Â Fiftysix, you've got to see Full Metal Jacket. R. Lee Ermy's best performance by far. A little trivia on him and FMJ. He was originally a technical advisor, but asked to audition when he felt the actor playing the part was not authentic enough. In his audition, he stood and hurled insults and foul language for fifteen minutes straight, without repeating himself, without pausing, and without flinching, despite being constantly pummeled with tennis balls and oranges. That got him the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
