Oh my gawdedited link.please click this looks reall interesting
Damn wheres the trailer?
Click on the "trailer" tab and then double click on the picture below with the "play" button superimposed on it.
It does look interesting.
Saving Private Ryan is one of the greatest war films ever? Since when?
Wow. I hope this is what it seems. The grim realities of being a grunt in the Suck.
I've always considered "We Were Soldiers" to be a better movie.Quote:

Good though like most of Gibsons movies in that genre. But not better than Saving Private Ryan.
Looks like it will be pretty good
What about Gallipoli? Or the Thin Red Line? Or Glory?
I don't know, Saving private ryan just seemed like a shoot em up to me.
Good morning vietnam, mash, the great escape, the bridge over the river kwai, the longest day, the african queen, lawrence of arabia...
Don't forget Breaker Morant and Laurence of Arabia.
That looks pretty impressive. I will see it one way or the other.
SPR was a cultural phenomenon. It led to a huge surge in interest in WW2 that spawned crap like Thin Red Line. :2thumbsup:
I'll second Sasaki's vote for The Thin Red Line. Never seen a war film that made me feel more like I was there, or gave me more sympathy for the fear and horror the soldiers experience in the line of duty.

edit: The action in Saving Private Ryan was very nice, especially the opening scene, but I felt the movie superimposed some modern ideas about the reasons for fighting over the story, the anachronism triggering my context pet peeve that survives so few history flicks intact.
Pfft, whatever. No where near SPR.Quote:
Or the Thin Red Line
OT, this looks interesting.
CR
For your information 'A Bridge too Far' is the best war movie of all time. After all it's got Hannibal Lectur in it as well. :yes:
Ohh and it's got my best mates brother in it as he was in 2 Para at the time. (They used the Parachute Regiment as extras)
Saving private Ryan isn´t even the greates war movie of the last 10 years......that one goes to Black Hawk Down...easy.Quote:

"Saving Private Ryan" was good, as was "Thin Red Line".
"Gallipoli" was a load of crap, all it did was demonise certain people, why not a movie from the Turks perspective?
"Laurence of Arabia" and "The Great Escape" are some of my all time favourites.
The series "Over There" was not bad if you saw that, a bit to drama-ish, but good none-the-less.
I thought the Korean move "Brotherhood" was a pretty horrific and grim picture of war. Blood, executions, explosions, childhood friends shooting each other, more blood, civilians being executed by vigilantes. All grim.
Oh yeah that's the one with that last words of the dying kid :yes:Quote:

I never knew war could be so hilarious.
well if you guys want a movie without patriotism watch 'when trumpets fade'. It has a coward as main character and when he finaly does something more then hide and run he get's killed.
That is a good movie, but I wouldn't kill the main character a coward, he is just sick of it. 'shit flows down'Quote:

The only good part about saving private ryan was the D-Day scene - after that it all go's down hill esspecially the last battle against Waffen-SS Tigers... the Tiger Tanks wernt even close to Normandy...
Yes, Black Hawk Down is the only movie mentioned here that I have on DVD.Quote:

May I add two classic war movies: "Apocalypse now" and "Platoon".
Oh, and "The Deer Hunter" (all three Vietnam, not WWII though).

Last episode rocks, remember that gun captain Winters stole? My father collected old weaponry, he was offered to buy that very gun from the guy that got it from that Winters fellow. Price was a bit too steep, despite the obvious coolness of having a gun that has belonged to both Naps and AdolfQuote:

Sanity at last. Although it can't really class as a film "Band of Brothers" for me.
How did this turn into a best war movies thread? This is a documentary shot with a home video camera not some hollywood production.
Okay, grumpy. How about Gunner Palace?
Where'd the link go? :inquisitive:
Edited.
Movies/Sites to which you link should also be withing forum rules.
No bad language, no explicit violence, no sexually oriented material that sort of thing.
:bow:
What?! So this thread remains open as a best war movie thread? What about snakes on a plane? Profanity? The only profanity was in the trailer which wasn't directly linked. Violence? Have you seen the backroom video thread?
