O/T Best war film ever?

This one would take some beating. Hollywood could never afford battle scenes (with thousands of extras) like this 'nowadays.

 

2010's Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

 

I meant apart from that one.

Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse now.

FACT.

 

A bridge too far for me

 

Great film- soundtrack is fantastic also.

Hard to not vote for that or Dambusters, Where Eagles Dare, Battle of Britain, Black Hawk Down or Downfall.

All good films, but Zulu just wins it for me.

 

I'm a big Kubrick fan and I like the film, but let's be honest - it's a bit ****e after Ermey gets killed

 

No contest: Catch-22

war films just seem to fit perfectly on a rainy day, Zulu is a classic, bridge too far wins almost purely for the era it's in and for having sean connery

 

Or this:

Or, perhaps:

Longest Day has Connery in as well, but his accent is bloody awful.

Think his character's supposed to be from Yorkshire or Lancashire.

Not as bad as his Irish impression in the Untouchables though.

 

Platoon.
