Guest Len B'stard Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yeah they're often coloured by propaganda but i don't think thats necessarily bad as long as they are self aware about it, as opposed to something like John Waynes The Sands of Iwo Jima etc. Favorites? Dirty DozenFull Metal JacketThe Deer HunterFrom Here to EternityThe Great Escape (does that count?)RegenerationYoung LionsWhere Eagles DareThe Big Red OneBattleship PotempkinApocalypse NowBorn on the 4th JulyZulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Eveerything is contaminated by propaganda to some extent. Probably it doesn't count but Life is beautiful is awesome.I would have to say Full Metal Jacket, The Thin Red LIne, The Dirty Dozen, The Deer Hunter, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's a genre which I have a lot of time for. If I was pushed to give an answer as to my favourite, I'd go Sands of Iwo Jima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 My favorite (depending on if you classify it as a war film) is Empire of the Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mao5 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) i really liked "land and freedom", it's about the spanish civil war and people fighting for their ideas."patton" is great too. it helps to understand the mentality of a man of war.

drtydane Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Platoon and Apacolypse Now top dogs imo.Agreed. Love Vietnam movies..Love hamburger hill too. There's a cypress hill song on the first soul assassins album that samples it. "Lets take this fucking hill!"
