I like Saving Private Ryan but Gettysburg's cool too in a documentary sort of way.

Also, I can't help but cheer any time I watch Top Gun 🙂
 
Another vote for Full Metal Jacket... Kubrick's the man.

And Matthew Modine is currently in the UK doing some West End play or something. I saw him interviewed the other day, seemed like a really nice, genuine guy.

<< The Last Mohicans.
Schindler List.
Das Boot. >>



I considered putting Schindler's List but it is just way too depressing for me to make it one of my favorites. It is a REALLY GOOD movie but not something that I personally would watch over and over again.
 
Ditto b0mbrman and I'll toss in

Bridge on the River Kwai
To Hell And Back (about Audie Murphy)
The Guns of Navarone
Force 10 From Navarone
M*A*S*H

And....does Ben Hur count?


Oh shoot...and how could I forget (esp. with Tora Bora being in the news so much these days):
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I can't believe It took that long for someone to say that!
 
Hamburger Hill, Bridge on the river kwai, d-day, 1941 (comedy 😀), saving private ryan, braveheart, full metal jacket, Das Boot, Memphis Hill, Glory, All quiet on the western front... and a few others

i like a lot of movies if you couldnt tell 😀
 
Well, Winter War of course 🙂. I know it's a foreign movie with subtitles, but GO SEE IT! Every single (american) fan of war-movies thinks it one of the best war-movies ever made!

As to my other favourites:

Cross of Iron
Stalingrad
Saving Private Ryan
Das Boot
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I have mixed feelings when it comes to Enemy at The Gates. It was awesome!... But... I dunno. Something bothered me about it. It's like it never lived up to its full potential...

EDIT: Oh crap, I forgot few!

Bridge over River Kwai
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
