Yeah that was it:
both strange flicks
The Final Countdown!
That’s it! Thanks Bill.
Martin Sheen and Kirk Douglas…I knew someone famous was in it. For some reason I thought it was Brian Dennehy. It was actually Charles Durning.
Shaving Ryans Privates!!
Hamburger Hill
When Trumpets Fade (HBO)
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A Bridge Too Far (one of my Dad’s favorites)
Does Red Dawn count as a war movie? That’s a classic 80’s movie. I just Deer Hunter here today from Netflix.
I think Ian wins this one.

Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket
Hamburger Hill
and HBO’s Band of Brothers is just amazing.
I would put Platoon first. I’ve loved that movie for a long time. I’d have to say Full Metal Jacket is a better movie, but Platoon is my personal favorite.
never so few
the sand pebbles
THE GREAT ESCAPE
find the theme?
hint: look at my avatar
“Gettysburg”
Just outstanding!
i want to see that. i always ignored the civil war for some reason.
Good ol’ Steve McQueen.
The Towering Inferno rules your face!
Yeah, I’m surprised noone has mentioned Glory yet. Also another classic war picture, with Ferris Broderick not Broadway Broderick.
^ i shit you not, my highschool economics teacher is in that film. the civil war rules! here’s to another!
but…but i thought you always ignored the civil war.
whatever.
WHATEVER!!
i say saving private ryan.
steakbone titties, thom.
YOU HEAR ME???
I have only seen it once, recently, but thought “Casualties of War” with Mike Fox was pretty good.
The only war movie
Band of Brothers, hands down my favorite.
