Das Boot, Steiner, Gallipoli, most Kurosawa flicks, Last of the Mohicans, the Duelist, Henry V (KB version)....Bridge on the River Kwai and The Longest Day for their era.
We Were Soldiers for a realistic and complimentary view. Apocalypse Now for the imagery....even though it was a rip off story.
Blackhawk Down....excruciating to watch...just rented it.
Shenandoah...it moved me as a young Southern kid.
Savior....about the only non Serb bashing Balkan flick I know of.
Breaker Morant....honorable mention
Lawrence of Arabia....for epic proportions..LOL
Patton and Cross of Iron....nuff said.
Ride With The Devil...an interesting little WBTS flick of late.
Guess I've overdone it.
Nice selection. I'm putting asterisks next to these choices of yours that I like and an "x" if I've never seen it, and a "0" if I don't like it:
Das Boot*****, Steiner X, Gallipoli ***, most Kurosawa flicksX, Last of the Mohicans*** (I considered it more of a romance/adventure than a war movie, which is why I didn't include it), the DuelistX, Henry V (KB version)*** (LO version is also good)....Bridge on the River Kwai**** and The Longest Day**** for their era.
We Were SoldiersX for a realistic and complimentary view. Apocalypse Now */0 (only the first part--the Brando segments are dumb) for the imagery....even though it was a rip off story.
Blackhawk Down....excruciating to watch...just rented it. X
Shenandoah...it moved me as a young Southern kid. (I don't remember if I've seen it or not--is it the John Wayne flick where he takes boy from the military academy over his knee and spanks him? If it is, that's a good one)
Savior....about the only non Serb bashing Balkan flick I know of. X
Breaker Morant....honorable mention **
Lawrence of Arabia....for epic proportions..LOL ***
Patton and Cross of Iron....nuff said. (I've seen most of Patton ***, don't think I've seen Cross of Iron)
Ride With The Devil...an interesting little WBTS flick of late. X
