Epic War Movies

Just watched this again and fuck, it has to be one of the best war movie ever made.

Any more of those movies that are 100% awesome and not just all of those "USA R GRATEST" movies ?


Best scene from the above-linked movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPr9g3EVz-o&feature=related

JESUS CHRIST...of all the War movies out there you choose the worst one of them...:/
Saving Private Ryan (only the opening scene though), Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Band of Brothers, The Longest Day etc are way better

Although I for one wouldn't call the war in Rwanda "epic"

PS: "Hamburger Hill" still sounds like a McDonald's ad to me :(

Depends how one would define epic though.
I was just listing a pile of 'great' war movies, which is what this thread is about, no??

Dunno if it's considered as a war movie, but I think it quiet fits in this genre:

Enemy at the Gates is good, but it's not very accurate, historically. The Bridge on the River Kwai is also a great war movie, it's pretty fucking long though.

Viax 22 Sep 2008, 23:18
barely anyone mentioned enemy at the gates! it's great to watch, despite not being very credible
