I was reading through reactions to the most recent war movie, Hacksaw Ridge, and it got me wondering about the best War Movies of All Time! Never started a thread before, so I'm not even sure I am doing this right, or if there will be any interest. Maybe it will eventually be turned into a poll? To start things off, here are five of my favorites in no particular order:
The Great Escape (OK, so maybe this is my favorite) - the all star cast is amazing!
Full Metal Jacket - one of Kubrik's best; Vincent D'Onofrio is amazing, as is R. Lee Ermey
Battle of the Bulge - the first time I noticed Robert Shaw
Das Boot - saw this in the movie theater; so claustrophobic
Platoon - perhaps the only good movie that Charlie Sheen every made
