Best War movie

[SpacePuppet]

I voted for Saving Private Ryan: (10/10) or A+

[Mr. HokeyPokey]

I vote Saving Private Ryan - 10/10 also.

[MrCouch]

Saving Private Ryan

hands down.

[Shockwave]

Saving Private Ryan or Full Metal Jacket...

...if i had a gun to my head id say Full Metal Jacket atm.

[Katsumoto]

Where's Thin Red Line?

[morricone]

Out of all of these, APOCALYPSE NOW stomps on them all.

[Lazy Boy]

All Quiet on the Western Front

[Shockwave]

..Empire of the Sun is an underrated gem as well. If anyone likes war movies at all, but are sick of the ones where your on the front lines, this is for u.

[Mr-Blonde]

Very hard to pick just one but I've always had a thing for Apocalypse Now.

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning... it smells like... victory."

[screamer581]

Apocalypse Now by far.

Where is Thin Red Line on the list?

[Squid Vicious]

Platoon and Saving Private Ryan (both 10/10).

[ChemicalRomance]

Saving Private Ryan (10/10)

Damn! How could I have forgotten that? Sorry guys!

[Cronos]

voted for other but meant to go for We Were Soldiers

[Brando @$$ Fat]

PLATOON, it may not be a better film than the rest of them, but it really hit home for me. It's my favorite by a razor thin margin.

[Slim_JGE]

For me, it would have to be Saving Private Ryan by far. Superbly done, an absolute war masterpiece. Band of Brothers is the only one that can top it for me... but it wasn't an option. :D

[Hannibal21]

Apocalypse Now

I would've also liked to see Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY on that list.

Too involved in watching Seasons 2 and 3 on 24 to get involved in my "need to see" movie list haha. It's sad :(

It's one of the hardest movie choices I have ever had.

Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket?

[jaw2929]

Shaving Ryan's Privates... I mean Saving Private Ryan :p

Well why didn't you say so? That's an understandable reason to not watch something else. ;-)

[poopontheshoes7]

This was Haaaaaaarrrrddd:(
The Bridge Over River Kwai
The Longest Day
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Saving Private Ryan.

Those are my five. Not in any order.

[Backstabba]

...Ugh...

Born on the 4th of July or Platoon....
.....I guess the better WAR movie is Platoon
Born on the 4th of july is the SUPERIOR drama...
But better war was platoon.

[Jon Lyrik]

Do Lawrence of Arabia or Doctor Zhivago count as war movies?

If not, then The Thin Red Line it is, though I voted Apocalypse Now since Thin isn't on here.

[Jamesadin]

Black Hawk Down anyone?

[Shockwave]

For best?

..not really, no.

That's what I'm sayin. Best. War. Movie. Ever.

The Thin Red Line was the cure for insomnia.

What about Starship Troopers?

[markuskorpela]

For me it's a tie between Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down. After hard thinking, I voted for Ryan.

[Wordslinger]

Toss up between Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now.

I chose Full Metal Jacket for the amazing first half.

[Gian-Sergio]

Apocalypse Now and Saving Private Ryan

Great War Films Not On The Poll:
THE BIG RED ONE and THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS

[JasonBourne]

Saving Private Ryan by far.

What about A Bridge Too Far, I thought that was a classic war film.

[APzombie]

Saving Private Ryan is without a doubt the best. To me, it's follolwed by Apocalypse Now.

[PnkRck]

Apocalypse Now is such a better film than Saving Private Ryan. I mean, the first 20 minutes of SPR are amazing, but the rest seemed just "meh"... In 1998, I thought the best war movie of the year was Enemy at the Gates, so that pretty much sums up my feelings about Spielberg's film. Still, Apocalypse Now hands down.

[poopontheshoes7]

Casualties of War is an underrated war film also.

[SpacePuppet]

Shit, how did I forget Glory too?

[the_sneaker]

It has to be Saving Private Ryan. Seeing my grandfather (a man who was the biggest hard ass in the world) cry during the opening beach scene tells me enough. This film was beyond fantastic. 10/10.

[jimmyjdmb]

The Thin Red Line followed by Platoon.

[wicked_prayer]

A+ for Platoon

[bigred760]

Pearl Harbor ain't worth putting on a poll though, who would vote for it?

na its cool. The poll isnt bad, and shit your right. Who would vote for Pearl Harbor anyways lol who in their right mind would even attempt to think of it as their top 10! lol not a bad poll though.

[Mikey2Dope]

Saving Private Ryan - 10/10

[coconut84]

The Thin Red Line and
Brotherhood of war (S-Korean; just brilliant and a little different than the typical "Vietnam-syndrome" yankee movie ;) )

Nah, you didn't fuck it up. You got most of the great ones, save for Glory.

And for the record, I liked Pearl Harbor.

Okay, okay, okay. So some people like Pearl Harbor, there are still a bunch of war movies I left out that are much better than it though.

[RustyRazor]

Tough call.

I voted FULL METAL JACKET for every memorable line and image but:
for an all around good war film, I would've voted SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.

[sarah1980]

Saving Private Ryan

[Desslar]

On this poll I'll take Ryan to barely edge out A Bridge Too Far.

My favorite would have to be Glory though. And I'll put Tae Guk Gi and Last Samurai right up there.

[Tony_Montana]

Saving Private Ryan, followed by Braveheart, followed by The Deer Hunter.

[jaymckee74]
