Which one do you think is the greatest war movie in history?

[dahermit]

since we are adding mini series to the movie thread,
Generation Kill wins for me..great book and very good series to go with it.

I saw Generation Kill...What does that have to do with a "series"?

 

[Bezukhov]

The Longest Day

Amen. Midway was another. I prefer the ones that treat the subject like the history that it is.

Full Metal Jacket..

 

[bododie]

Shawn of the Dead. Lol.

Most of what I see here are "newer" movies. Hands down, the greatest war movie of all time is PATTON. George C. Scott did a masterful job portraying "old blood and guts".

It was not a movie...just like Band of Bro's...it was a mini Series on HBO.

Full Metal Jacket
Das Boot
Gettysburg
Saving Private Ryan
a special nod to Schindlers List-disturbing but so real as to garner much thought

 

[Dude111]

Of the few i have seen i think THE GREAT ESCAPE is by far the best
