Braveheart

[Jand3rson]

Oliver Stone.

Seriously, I love Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove and 2001. Full Metal Jacket on the other hand, is not one of Kubricks best movies.

I'm just a huge fanatic. I love the cinemetography of FMJ, Kubrick's style is pouring out of that film. And I've seen just about every war movie ever made, not one has yet to depict the dehumanization process of basic training like FMJ does, especially since R. Lee Ermey was actually a Marine Corps drill instructor. I've talked to tons of guys that were in the Marines within the last 10-15 years who say it isn't like that anymore, but just as many guys who were in basic around that time, and say it was JUST like that back then. Who knows how many are lying and how many aren't, but that's with anything, really.

Glory

I was waiting for that. Fantastic film. If it hadnt been for Silence of the lambs it would have taken the oscar that year.

Stanley Kubrick.

Can you explain why you think that way?

Stanley Kubrick.

Bridge On The River Kuai and The Great Escape are my favorite oldies (Von Ryan's Express gets an honorable mention).

Thin Red Line, Letters From Iwo Jima and Saving Private Ryan are my favorite new ones.

I doubt many people have seen this movie but "Shot Through the Heart". Its one of the best sniper movies I have ever seen and is about the Bosnian-Serb conflict which hasn't seen many movies at all.

[Ray Smoodiver]

On a serious note - All quiet on the western front.

Hey h0lmes. Full Metal Jacket is SO MUCH FUCKING better than Platoon.

Best war movie ever, though? Hard to say, I don't think I have a favorite. I like them all.

Can you explain why you think that way? I recently re-watched Platoon and Full Metal Jacket and it is really no question which is the better movie. I guess for me, I like movies that appeal to my emotions, and Platoon definitely did that for me. Full Metal Jacket did not.

no ones mentioned WINDTALKERS yet

That's because that movie SUCKED ASS.

+1 for Bridge on the River Kwai

Lawrence of Arabia, Kelly's Heroes, Good Morning Viet Nam, Glory

Lawrence of Arabia is indeed a milestone movie that can help understand the whole situtation in the Middle East.

Great images and sublime soundtrack. I saw that movie at least a dozen times. Peter O'Tool shines.

The table of Damascus. All tribes united... for each's interested. That's the arab dilemna.

Two sides of the story before doing that in movies was cool. Awesome flick.

no ones mentioned WINDTALKERS yet, i thought that was a good movie

also the THIN RED LINE was alright the battle scene was well done, but it was kinda boring in parts

oh and WE WERE SOLDIERS the one with mel gibson in it, that was a great movie, really great!
