[AngryBaby]

what do you think is the best war movie out of these?
these are the only ones i could think of
if there is a movie i missed up there feel free to name it
in my opinion its between saving private ryan and braveheart

[angelrevelation]

i haven't seen most of those... but i thought the last samurai was one of the best war movies i've seen

[AngryBaby]

yeah there was alot of others, but i wanted to keep it as close to gun war fare as possible =/ even though braveheart they didnt fight with guns haha. but oh well.

but actually they faught against guys with guns in last samurai so i guess that could've went up there, i just forgot about it, sorry

BAND OF BROTHERS!
BAND OF BROTHERS!!
BAND OF BROTHERS!!!

I would watch these with my brother all the time on the History Channel. They're sooo good!

They're more of a mini-series though.

Eh whatever.

Braveheart was really really good though too.

[annalucky]

I liked Black Hawk Down.

But I've heard that Saving Private Ryan depicted war the best.

But I like Black Hawk Down. = ]

[Tribal J_Rome]

i loved saving private ryan, the action was so f**king awesome. especially that first 5 minutes. plus all the stuff throughout the movie like when the american sniper shot the german sniper through his scope.

band of brother's is hella good too, my dad bought the dvd set. if ur into war stuff or movies u should get it. i forget how many episodes it is, i think like 8-10 hour long episodes, but it's worth it.

[simx]

Band Of Brothers definitly... even though it's technicall not a "movie"

Saving Private Ryan was pretty good... and so was Black Hawk Down

[AngryBaby]

i just saw saving private ryan today for the first time lol
its fricken good, really intense, and how could you go wrong with tom hanks and matt damon and speilberg? i can see why it won so many oscars now. one of my top 10 favorite movies now.

and band of brothers now that i think of it, is awsome also

[*xcaitlinx*]

other --> i'd say king arthur. (doesn't that count as a war movie??)

[meleonade]

PEARL HARBOUR! awesome movie!!!

[ANG33ZY]

pearl harbor i dunno

[AngryBaby]

[racoons > you]

bridge over the river kwai (sp?)

[shortiiex]

i hardly watch war movies
but i saw a movie called GLORY
it was voilent...someone's head got shot and literally BLEW UP

[KissMe2408]

"THE GREAT ESCAPE". That was such a great movie. Usually i'm not a fan of war movies at all, but this one i can watch over and over again. Steve McQueen is AMAZING. The whole cast was amazing. It's an old movie, i dunno if you guys have heard of it?

[Rachel]

Whats a move-ay.

[*tweeak*]

pshhh

war movies

pshhh

[SillyCourtney]

The Patriot. I love that movie.

[*mipadi*]

Both Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan are fairly realistic, as well as good stories, but I prefer Black Hawk Down.

[simx]

taegukgi - korean war movie

oooh definitly... that was an awesome movie, the ending was sad

The Patriot was okay... it was really historical =/

[AngryBaby]

Whats a move-ay.

you mean you havent heard of move-ay's?

[ichigofan]

hmm well I did fall asleep during black hawk down, mind you I watched it in the theatres lols.. I like Jarhead, the commercials look good. I like all war movies dealing with ww2 and the holocaust.. I cant think of any right now but I guess Ill vote for BOB[band of Bros]

[Aoiro]

The Patriot was a good movie, loved it when I watched it in class.
Liked the bloody parts.

Black Hawk Down is good, too, but I don't remember it that well.

[*tweeak*]

you mean you havent heard of move-ay's?

no.

[miss-_-guitar]

my favorite is pearl harbour is u count that as a war movie

[*kryogenix*]

Both Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan are fairly realistic, as well as good stories, but I prefer Black Hawk Down.

Agreed.

But I liked Battle of the Bulge. Come on, Henry Fonda and Telly Savalas are in it.

[edit]

And Apocalypse Now.

[sprezzatura]

i hardly watch war movies
but i saw a movie called GLORY
it was voilent...someone's head got shot and literally BLEW UP

Oh yes, GLORY is definitely a violent movie.
I like PEARL HARBOR because I haven't seen any of those listed in the poll.

[Note]

Glory, Patriot, Black Hawk Down.
We watched those three in class and i thought that these were the best. It was hella funnie when we watched patriot.

[latinprep12]

my favorite is pearl harbour is u count that as a war movie

i say the same about pearl H., and i also like windtalker

[latinprep12]

oppss...computer is acting up

[ParanoidAndroid]

Band of Brothers. It's one of the most touching war movies. Oyeah., where's the Pearl Harbor movie? It's not in one of the choices.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

Von Ryan's Express = the best war movie EVER

starring frank sinatra *swoon*

[iheartjohn]

Saving Private Ryan, I guess. I'm not really into war movies.

[Levy2k6]

JARHEAD! omg that's a good movie.

and Band of Brothers is not a war movie, it's a freaking series. it's awesome tho.. i seen it nonstop like a couple of times.

black hawk down is good and then there is always...

FULL METAL JACKET!

[AngryBaby]

i saw jarhead yesterday and erm nothing......happened, it was pointless.i can care less about how much they party and how much porn they watch. Then they try to attempt inmaking you "sad" when that dude dies after the war. but they make that scene so short and dont even explain it so your like "wtf". they made it seem like that war was just a joke.

[sm0kinm0nky]

Saving Private Ryan


I wanna see Jarhead

[Levy2k6]

i saw jarhead yesterday and erm    nothing......happened, it was pointless.i can care less about how much they party and how much porn they watch.

well if your not into that kind of movie, thats understandable for you to say that

But a couple of marines joking around and doing stuff is what the movie is all about. it's suppose to be about a guy and his life and his POV on the war. if you actually payed attention to what the movie's outline, you would have understand that the movie does have a meaning. if you didn't get the meaning, it's as pointless as any other war movie.

idk but Jarhead is gonna be a classic.

[AngryBaby]

i know perfectly well what the movie was about: A frustrated Marine sniper waits for Operation Desert Storm to get going. Then it's over before it even begins. it tells us almost nothing we haven’t heard before about the dejection and disillusionment of men in war, up to and including its summation that “Every war is different; every war is the same.” i mean, it has numerous arresting moments, but never achieves a confident, consistent or sufficiently audacious tone. basically the film never comes to life. It just languishes in the desert, waiting. its an unimportant movie non the less. dont get me wrong, i was very excited to see it too,(hell i made a topic about it) i didnt expect it to be some action filled war movie, considering "duh" its desert storm.

and its certainly not a classic. because it doesnt have alot of depth.

but i did love some of the cinematography

its just not a very interesting story, and im not the type of person thats like "yeah there should've been shooting!!!" no. the stoy line just wasnt that interesting nor moving. but if you liked it more power to ya.

[simx]

I heard Jarhead wasn't very good but I still wanna see it

[Gigi]

taegukgi - korean war movie

I totally agree.

[klumzy]

braveheart!
