RE: Suggestions for good war movies
Im surprised no one has mentioned these ones...
Platoon
Hamburger Hill
The Big Red One
The Deer Hunter
Run Silent Run Deep
Sands of Iwo Jima
They were Expendable
Gallipoli
The Dam Busters
Memphis Belle
Dr Strangelove
also some which are not really war films but good none the less
Rollerball - Original not the crappy remake (pretty damm good future violence sports film)
Children of Man (the big final scene is well done)
Generation Kill (TV series)
The long riders (slow mo-shoot outs, great sounds)
Dawn of the Dead (not the terrible remake but the original)
Two movies which I dislike because they are both inaccurate and a bit too propagandist for my tastes are SPR and Blackhawk down.
Bis peccare in bello no licet - One cannot blunder twice in war.
