Name 5 Favorite War Movies

Yep. Just made 50 years apart.

 

Yes, they are both based on Joseph Heller's 1961 novel.

 

Thank You. I'm going to read that soon, then I will check out the movie, and the show.

 

Thank You

 

Can't believe I/we (except for Forgotten Won) missed including perhaps the greatest faux war movie ever - Dr. Strangelove! Slim Pickens deserved an Oscar for the final scene alone.

 

WE?

 

The Guns of Navarone

 

Whoops. Should have known better.

 

It was mentioned by @forgotten1

 

But that doesn't count because he listed more than 5!

 

For a good time, I will watch Kelly's Heroes any day.

More modern would be Inglourious Basterds.

 

HMM
you present yourself as a
BATTLE OF THE BULGE

 

I generally don't like war movies all that much, but "Apocalypse Now" and "The Blue Max" are 2 of my favorite movies.

 

I watched Patton again last weekend.
I'd like to add "The Sand Pebbles" to my list! "Lie stee stah wow...."

 

Enemy at the gates

Stalingrad

The lost Battalion (really underrated)

Paths of Glory (A Kubrick masterpiece banned in france for the longest time)

Full Metal Jacket (Another Kubrick masterpiece)

Glory
