Your Top Three Best War Movies of All Time

[Rodia]

There are lots of "Zulu", "Kelly's Heroes", "Tora Tora Tora", "Stalingrad" and "Battle of Britain", which I love.

I want to add three films I did not see mentioned, the first two with the great George C. Scott:

- Patton.
- Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

And one italian film:

- The Profession of Arms (Imdb)

About condottieri in the Renaissance, I have yet to watch it again, but for what I remember it was stunning.

1 Band of Brothers, 2 the longest day, 3 patton. I know, [&:] Patton was no. 1 until i bought the other two. I guess all 3 are no. 1 in my book

[Rosseau]

Cross of Iron, of cross [;)]

[Curtis Lemay]

I can now add Zero Dark Thirty.

[Titanwarrior89]

Excellent movie, but for me no cigar as best ever. More of a CIA intel movie. I actually liked Lincoln better.

Since my original 2004 posting, I've gotta add a fourth choice, which is the HBO miniseries "The Pacific". The USMC of WWII gets the attention it deserves (nothwithstanding the classic "Sands of Iwo Jima"). This series has garnered mixed reviews from the wargaming community, but this is mostly due to intrinsic interest in the campaign it portrays. To this USMC fan, it serves as a perfect complement to "Band of Brothers". Granted, it covers a whole division rather than a single company, so the time period is expanded from Dec 1941 to late 1945. The DVD set is a frequently revisited part of my video collection.

I love Cross of Iron, but would be in the bottom half of my top 10 - Best bit about the film is the music at the start [:)]

36 Hours. That is a movie I had forgotten about. Time to watch it again. Thanks for the reminder.

[barkman44]

Yea there was a remake can't remember the title in the 80's or 90's that naturally potrayed rod taylors character as a sadistic monster
could'nt show him as a sympathetic character as in the original

That movie rocks. Awesome film.

Windtalkers was the most accurate war film ever. Guys, I'm kidding. It was a joke. Steiner, put down that rock! OUCH!!! [:D]
