War Movies

[H0BJ0B]

Hey guys,

War is my favourite genre, and so I want to know as many war films as you know - I'm saying 1995 onwards or so.

I've watched many, but suggest them all, whether they're obvious or not!

Thanks,
Danny

Letters From Iwo Jima (my favourite)
Flags of Our Fathers
Downfall
Saving Private Ryan

I've seen a load more but those are the only one's that come to mind. Letters From Iwo Jima is fantastic, and Downfall has some insanely good actor playing Hitler. He's perfect!

[H0BJ0B]

Hmm, I'll check out Downfall - haven't seen that. Cheers - +rep.

[Jord]

Full Metal Jacket
Jar head

Dunno that many :p

[reeana]

War of the Worlds - more aliens

[Jord]

Brothers in arms also.

[Art]

Behind Enemy Lines ^^

[mangle]

Black Hawk Down is a must.

[H0BJ0B]

Thanks for all of these! I'll check out the ones I haven't seen. +rep to everyone!

PS: If anyone knows any more, please do tell me!

[Stefy]

Black hawk down
Saving Private Ryan
Behind Enemy Lines
Platoon

[H0BJ0B]

I think I took a look at Platoon and it didn't look too good. I'll check again. anymore is appreciated!

[deeveeNoh]

full metal jacket is a bloody brilliant film, can't remember what happens other than that fat bloke shooting himself in the gob but i remember it's ******* fantastic.

[H0BJ0B]

Lol, I've got to just past the fat guy doing that. It's quite good so far, I can't see a point to it yet.

I watched Black Hawk Down recently and it is a great film - very long though.

[Janet Snakehole]

ah, definately jarhead (L)

[J0SH]

There are tonnes here.

I remember watching one and it was proper cocky and funny, these guys plant a mine to try and bomb these guys and they're driving on the road and one gets blown up and they lose a really good friend and they go on a killing spree killing everyone in the village for revenge then get charged with loads of counts of murder.

Edit: I found it, it's a great watch. http://watch-movies.net/movies/battle_for_haditha/

It's called Battle for Haditha.

[mangle]

I'm going to watch Jarhead soon, Black Hawk Down is one of my favourite films ever! :)

[H0BJ0B]

Yeh, lots of these I've seen. Josh, that's the site I use a lot and I've already been to that list but most seem crap.

I've just finished watching Full Metal Jacket and I have to say that it's one of the crappest films I've ever seen. One minute they're training, then that guy shoots himself, so what does that have to do with them in the war, and then they fight this girl sniper, and that's the end of the movie. I really don't understand it. The only good part was the song at the end and the start where they're training.

[Andeeh]

Saving private ryan one of the best war films ever.

And also if u watch bbc 2 late u can get some good war movies on ;)

[Jord]

I found it that way too

[J0SH]

Are you going to give Battle for Haditha a watch? ;)

[5,5]

Jarhead was great.
has some funny parts too

[H0BJ0B]

Ya I've got Battle for Haditha (SP?) in my favourites to watch next time. I agree in saying that Saving Private Ryan is the best I've watched so far.

It's really good :)

Bit sad when..

They bust into a house (the soldiers) and claim there is a secret plot or something and shoot the whole family dead.

Saving Pvt Ryan

Boy In Striped Pyjamas (If you class it as war movie)

Schindler's List (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108052/)

The Great Dictator (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032553/)

Hope these all help :D

[Hiro]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Three Kings and The Great Escape.
Also, Good Morning, Vietnam is a great movie, but more of a comedy.
I'm not sure if you could class The Last King of Scotland as a war movie, but it sort of is and it is a great watch.

[Andeeh]

Band of brothers on tomorrow 23:20 on bbc 2 ;)

[H0BJ0B]

;o Really!? -Records

[H0BJ0B]

Oh, they've beeen showing the series since the start of November or even earlier. I won't bother watching it because it's already on the 8th or 9th of the 10 episodes.

[flyingbrick]

To End All Wars is a really good one. Highly recommend it.

[J0SH]

Did you ever get round to watching what I suggested?

[-mad-monkey-]

[inVe]

You don't have to keep posting. It's his choice if he watches or not.
The film you mentioned was absolute crap anyway.

[Yonder]

I mainly love wars films about ancients wars e.g. persians/romans/eyptians/ but there are some great films about the world wars, just every other year a world war film comes out.

I enjoyed it, and I wanna see if he's watched it so he can enjoy it, and you're telling me to stop posting, you joined the other day and you have what, 100 posts?

[camera]

Dont like war movies. Theyre boring.

[Viruz]

Saving Private Ryan [1998] (All round good film, story has a fast pace and historically accurate)
Flags of our Fathers [2006] (Good film shows the dark side of War and the effects on people)
Band of Brothers [2001] (Although its not a film it is defiantly up there with SPR)
The Great Escape [1963] (Classic movie enough said)
The Colditz Story [1954] (A personal favourite)

I second that

You keep posting:

"Did you watch it?"
"Did you watch it?"

He's not going to watch it, if you keep nagging.


Edit:

Harry, can't you accept his opinion?
