Whats your favourite war film ever?

[Paul]

At 4.18pm on a Saturday I'm going to take a wild guess and say no, you're not in court.

No school on a Saturday either.

No school on a Saturday either.

I posted on Friday....

[Paul]

If by Friday you mean just after midday on Saturday, then you're right...

[Anubis]

You appear to be very serious about a comment that was made as a joke. Bad week?

[Paul]

Appearances are deceptive. Rough night?

[Anubis]

Nope. Just a little perplexed. I'll leave it there.

[Paul]

Just messing. Thought you were too.

A Bridge Too Far deserves a mention if it hasn't already.

[Gnasher]

Easily the most historically accurate film of world war 2

 

[Josef Svejk]

Hrabal or Heinrich?

 

Hrabal...

Nailed it with this.

I loved The Great Escape as a kid.

 

Schlinders List is a superb movie, but I'm not sure it's really a war film as such.

 

I like Saving Private Ryan, the D Day landings scene is one of the great pieces of cinema history.

 

But for me, Downfall is the best, my favourite foreign language film along with City Of God.

 

Even better than that though was Band Of Brothers. The scene in the Belgian forest in the midst of winter and the one where they are treated as heroes for liberating the town in Holland were brilliant, but the episode when they come across the concentration camp is one of the greatest hours of television I have ever seen.

Cabaret

Paths of Glory

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence is a good film with interesting themes.

Saving private Ryan or Kajaki

Zulu is a great shout for a classic. Fargo is outstanding. Cloud Atlas is amazing.

[SasaS]

Speaking of classics, A Bridge on the River Kwai is mentioned only once in this thread, an absolute disgrace.

Zulu is a great shout for a classic. Fargo is outstanding. Cloud Atlas is amazing.
