Does drama count?
If so, Band of Brothers is on the top

Saving Private Ryan is a good movie, but is a little too intense for me to enjoy.
Some honourable mentions with varying amounts of cheese factor:
A Bridge Too Far
Tora, Tora, Tora
The Battle of Britain
Bridge on the River Kwai
The Longest Day
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

Re: top 5 war movies
Hard one. In no particular order;
- Platoon
- Hamburger Hill
- Full Metal Jacket
- When Trumpets Fade
- Stalingrad
Those should probably come on top when it comes to soldiers, but there are so many different types of great war-movies
- The Pianist (so much better then Schindler's List)
- Der Untergang
- Zwartboek
- Warriors (well it's a series)
- Au revoir les enfants
Re: top 5 war movies
Full Metal Jacket
Zulu
Patton
Apocalypse Now
Gallipoli
Yeah, except for Patton, which has it's own relevance in context, I like 'em sorta grim.
Re: top 5 war movies
Band of Brothers
The lost Battalion
The charge of the Light Brigade(Errol Flynn version)
They died with their boots on(Errol Flynn)
Zulu
and
Dr Strangelove
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
Re: top 5 war movies

A Bridge too Far.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."
