Whats your favourite war film ever?

[Captain Howdy]

Stalag 17

[Red Shift]

Das Boot, SPR, ABTF, The Longest Day, Female Agents, Charlotte Grey, Flame & Citroen, When Trumpets Fade, Paths Of Glory, The Battle Of Britain, 633 Squadron, The Blue Max.......we can go endlessly on can’t we?

 

White Tiger is a personal favourite. Russian with English subtitles. Available on You Tube

 

 

[Red Shift]

Oh nearly forgot. Enemy At The Gates. Great cast, great acting, great story.

[Ranxerox]

The Thin Red Line

 

Love the look of it and the cast, as well the refusal to glorify the dirty mess of humans killing each other over dirt. 

 

The change of expression that comes over Nick Nolte's face when the platoon commander refuses to carry out his order is one of the finest split seconds of acting I have ever seen.

White Tiger and Come and See would be a hell of a WW2 film double bill.

great film and hard to stomach.

I'm not calling this a great war film, but I'm surprised it's free to watch on youtube.

 

Quite epic in scope....

Great choice. Based on true events as well.

Has The Victors had a mention? Large cast including George Peppard.

 

Probably the closest I’ve seen to something like the World at war documentaries. 
It is incredibly grim.

There are a few scenes which have stuck with me, I won’t mention any so as not to spoil it for those who’ve never seen it. 
It is a very very good film.

It's a brilliant film. That whole scene where they are taking out the Japanese encampment at the top of the hill is stunning.

The Hill is a fabulous film. Attack I have seen a few times and is also fabulous.

Anyone watched The Victors yet? Posted above.

Spoiler for The Victors.

 

if you’re an animal/dog lover.
The scene with Peter Fonda and his dog is harrowing.

 

I don’t think they’d film a scene like that in a modern film.
