I enjoy a good war flick. But as soon as someone starts singing or smoking out on a patrol, they become unrealistic and lame.
Still I enjoy the old ones, too. Hell's Angels to The dirty dozen to Pvt. Ryan.
Enemy at the gates is a fucking masterpiece!!

so i passed on Silver Strand for now and am in the middle of Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil.....although i can't relate to the intense combat scenes, much of the flashbacks to some of their training is familiar to me throughout my time enlisted....it's fun remembering the fun and joy lol
Full Metal Jacket is my favorite war movoie. Some others I like are:
Apocalypse Now
Deer Hunter
Apocalypse Now
Deer Hunter
Platoon and Full Metal Jacket are the kind of movies you can watch almost daily. A Bridge To Far was great and so was The Big Red One
there are others that are good
Prisoners of the Sun
Rescue Dawn
Empire of the Sun

can't believe anyone hasn't said Blackhawk Down
I always forget that was a movie.
the classic line for that movie by Tom Seizmore "everyone's shot"...lol
Damn, I forgot about Apocalypse, and the Deer Hunter. two great flicks.
It's based during WW2. It's a bad-ass movie. Just watched it for the first time in years since the wife has never seen it.

Would you consider Red Dawn a war movie?
Yeah, You can't hurt em if you don't hit em.
I'd even add Braveheart, or Gladiator to the list. At the time, that was their combat!

loved it.....not looking forward to the remake.....remaking a classic is a good way to ruin it
On war movies, I've noticed one thing.
There is never one small explanation behind events that caused the war, or reasons certain actions were taken.
WWII war movies for example. Why did the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor? Oil.
In the American Hollywood produced Vietnam war movies, Ngo Dinh Diem's name is not mentioned once. Not mentioned once, in all of the most popular Vietnam war movies.
The focus is on the individuals. With a protaganist and antagonist.
The Kingdom (2007) with Jamie Fox.
