Army related movies

[T2urtle]

i'm a big army related movie Fiend ( sp) i trying to gather a big batch of army related movies.

I just finished the manchurian candidate. And now i'm in the mood to gather movies like this of the same type. I got 1/2 the collection of band of brothers. But i'm looking for this one movie in particalar where this the main guy kills a village of people because he is trigger happy and he loves to show off by throwing his guy from the left to right.

But anyways can you guys give you like a nice list of army related movies in the past 6 years that came out on DVD. I want to start building a collection starting with the band of brothers and manchurian candiate

Fanatic might be better suited then fiend.

Otherwise I would say "Saving Private Ryan" would be a movie to look into.

 

[T2urtle]

well yes fanatic. I mean i always loved them and saw most army movies at the theaters but i dont ever recall the titles.

those 3 movies are on my list.

As for private ryan i got that somewhere around the house as well.

Platoon, hamburger hill, All quiet on the western front, etc. etc.

DEER HUNTER!

Black Hawk Down is probably the most realistic portrayal of modern Army combat operations that you can see without doing a tour in Iraq. Definitely get that film.

 

[mugs]

Gettysburg and Glory (you didn't say modern army )

 

[nick1985]

saving private ryan, band of brothers series, patton

 

[Schrodinger]

I've seen a ton of war movies but to be honest, black hawk down has to be my favourite--slightly moreso then Saving Ryan's Privates even. I just find it most realistic.

 

[TheWart]

the longest day

 

[T2urtle]

good morning vietnam? give me some info on that. i've all others to my list. I'll be collecting them thru ebay and what not.

Lawrence Fishbourne (sp?) blowing through dozens of rounds on the .50 cal is just awesome

nice thanks. now that i got a war movie list , i want to expand more to the movies like manchurian candidate with army like plots but not all war and stuff.

 

[spacejamz]

some other WW2 movies:

big red 1
bridge too far
and any other ww2 movie that didn't have John Wayne (he may be a decent cowboy, but he doesn't cut in a war flick IMO)

 

[Spacehead]

The Guns of Navarone
Platoon
Schindler's List
The Big Red One
A Bridge Too Far
A Midnight Clear

A couple of Clint Eastwood moviesthat i can't remember the names of. What was the one where they were going to steal German gold bulion???

[bockchow]

we were soldiers
thin red line
In The Army Now
beind enemy lines

avoid these movies at all cost.

For a more plot-driven army movie, try that one with Samuel L Jackson where he face trial in front of a military court, while he's represented by Tommy Lee Jones.

Key line: "Waste the motherfvckers!"
