Tonight I'm gonna watch Windtalkers, which I've heard is poop. But really, anything WWII is instant love for me.
Oh god, how could I forget, I fucking loved Band of Brothers. But I guess to be technical its a mini-series. BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES. It was awesome.
Paths of Glory
Apocalypse Now
Memphis Belle
To End All Wars
Letters from Iwo Jima & Flags of our Fathers
Full Metal Jacket
Enemy at the Gates
Dr Strangelove, if that counts. Then Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now.
i gotta go with full metal jacket (especially the first half)
and apocalypse now, the last scene of apocalypse now still amazes me
What do you mean the Great Escape isn't realistic? It's about an actual bunch of airmen who were captured and tried to escape their prison camp.
My favourite part of Apocalypse Now! is the part where Captain Kilgore brings surf boards to the war, and when Charlie Sheen's crew take off with them, he begs for them back while flying over them in a helicopter, while they hide in the underbrush.
Word of warning, Don't watch Windtalkers.
It's poop.
First war movie I have to put in the poop pile. Shame.

With in a little over a week I watched:
Platoon
The Great Raid
Jarhead
The Thin Red Line
Saving Private Ryan
Rescue Dawn
And so far I like them all. Like period dramas, I haven't met a war film I didn't like.
