Favorite war movie? - Jobu88 - 12-31-2008 The Valkyrie thread led me to wondering what everyone's favorite war movie is? I think my all-time favorite is probably 12 O'Clock High. In addition to being just a great story, it has completely authentic B-17s and loads of aerial combat footage. RE: Favorite war movie? - Vartuoosi - 12-31-2008 Tough decision but if i have to pick one, i'll pick Talvisota (Winter War) RE: Favorite war movie? - Combat Wombat - 12-31-2008 Caution to the Wind ! Dont judge me chaps ... but, " Kelly's Heroes " ... Clint Baby and adherence to reality (the BAR always jammed ...Tigers and their fuel pump problems etc ) and of course my favourite line in any movie from Oddball in the middle of an urban firefight - Clint " What are you doing?" oddball "I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays. You know?" livin' the dream ..... RE: Favorite war movie? - Der Kuenstler - 12-31-2008 I really liked "Enemy at the Gates" - Ed Harris played an excellent German sniper - complete with the steely blue eyes and all. In fact I'm hoping someday for a wargame ala "Call of Duty" where you can just crawl around Stalingradwith a sniper rifle - in a campaign format. I have to give a nod to the "Band of Brothers" series, too. RE: Favorite war movie? - Sgt Bilko - 01-01-2009 Cross of Iron RE: Favorite war movie? - Ratzki - 01-01-2009 I second that one, Cross of Iron. RE: Favorite war movie? - Sgt Schultz - 01-01-2009 Das Boot. Great flick, even with subtitles. RE: Favorite war movie? - RedDevil - 01-01-2009 The Winter War...a very excellent movie if you haven't seen it.. you're missing out on a top notch flick! of course I've watched Kelly's heroes more times than I can remember and it's still one of the best over all fun flicks to grab a snack and a drink and waste 2 hours with.... :bow: Friends all tried to warn me But I held my head up high All the time they warned me But I only passed them by They all tried to tell me But I guess I didn't care I turned my back and Left them standing there RE: Favorite war movie? - PoorOldSpike - 01-01-2009 ANSWERS to FGM FILM QUIZ just posted- http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/FGMForum/showthread.php?t=805 ---------------------------------------------------- Hey Colonel, go have a crack at it! "I will put it to my men" It's difficult! "I will put that to my men also".. RE: Favorite war movie? - willow - 01-01-2009 Favourite of all time is still Apocalypse Now, favourite WWII movie is still Cross of Iron, though Kelly's Heroes is a close second. |
