The Bedford Incident and Crimson Tide for cold war suspense

[bishopx]

Awesome one Anton.

 

The Halls Of Montezuma...good classic war

[Doormat]

300 ;)

 

and...

 

 

Windtalkers

 

 

 

 

Kidding, but please shoot me for saying that, I can't live with myself anymore.

[sodamntired]

300

personally.....don't really see that as being a "war movie"

 

Platoon - War Movie

Glory - War Movie

300 - guys in Speedo's yelling.

 

Note: i kind of liked 300...I'm just saying.

[beerman37]

Band Of Brothers, the best thing HBO has ever done

[bishopx]

Alexander was pretty good

[Sparq]

Windtalkers

Not that bad if you like endless stabbings.

[Doormat]

Not that bad if you like endless stabbings.

You mean the amazingly sad aiming of the Japanese and the SAS style/speed aiming of the Americans?

(Learn to hit a giant flamethrower American please, if you had killed him in one shot there would be a lot less Hollywood drama).

[Sparq]

Pretty much. And that bit with the satchel harge that apparently has like...a five minute fuze. Like they wouldn't find it and throw it back before then.

[bishopx]

I have to admit, the Japanese were some poor assed shots in Windtalkers, but I did enjoy it.

[Doormat]

"Yeah, let's leave a light machine gun on this table. Oh no! That American has it and is killing everyone. Why didn't I think about that."

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Dr. Strangelove is up there for me.

[Sparq]

Ah yes, the self-proclaimed "hotline suspense comedy". Any movie that ends with a glorious montage of nuclear detonations is up there in my book. And, of course, the cowboy bit. And fluids. Precious fluids. Another one where I can overlook the hideous technical inaccuracies surrounding the B-52s.

[sodamntired]

there's no fighting in the war room!!

[bishopx]

I just got done watching Hamburger Hill again. Bloody Good.

[shade]

The best war movies seem to be the anti-war ones

 

full metal jacket

apocalypse now

dr strangelove

[bishopx]

There's a lot of truth in that...

 

When We Were Soldiers...

[Moonlight_Graham]

updated my list:

 

Platoon

Apocalypse Now

Band of Brothers (it counts ok)

Star Wars Ep.4-6 (heheheee counts too!)

Full Metal Jacket

Tigerland

Braveheart

Downfall

Rambo 2 & 3

 

...and if it counts, Dances With Wolves (American Civil War, plus some indians duking it out).

 

Seen bits of The Deer Hunter, but would like to watch it all. Also want to see "Letters From Iwo Jima".

[bishopx]

ALL FREAKIN AWESOME FLICKS!!!

[Moonlight_Graham]

ALL FREAKIN AWESOME FLICKS!!!

There are only hideous techinical inaccuracies due to the DoD not allowing Kubrick to actually see the inside of one.
