One of the greatest films of all time

Knights of Bureaucracy. Latest live action war movie. Some wonderful stuff. You won't believe what happens in the final six minutes.

Are you only interested in modern war movies (WW1 - present), or does any time period go?

>>726240468
Act of Valor

>>726241066
Damn. Better than all the hollywood makeup crap I have ever seen. Dubs confirm.

>>726240812

Anything goes really but I'm really only interested in what people like the most as individuals, and most really old war movies don't hold up too well against newer war movies

>>726240893
How? The military isn't fun like in Hollywood movies

Stalingrad (the 1993 German version)

>>726240662
also watch the 2nd one called Korengal

>>726241265
You could watch Attack! with Jack Palance, made a couple of years after wwii- quality film. Waterloo is one of those long, drawn out war movies like a bridge too far and the longest day that are worth the effort but hard on the bum. The big red one is worth a squirt. The thin red line is quite beautiful, but very boring for long stretches.

Thin Blue Line,
Apocalypse Now,
Das Boot,

Honorary Menschen: Iron Cross

What? What the fuck are you talking about?

The majority of older war films are far superior to modern war films because they focus more on the actual grit, reality, and aren't as full of shite CGi and other nonsense.

You clearly just like fancy explosions and believe that HE grenades create massive fireballs when they go off.

>>726240800

did you forget "let em burn?"

Watch that new one about the medic called hacksaw ridge, ive yet to watch so not sure if good

>>726240468
The Holt Trinity here, but, I would absolutely have to put Hacksaw Ridge at number 2.

You misunderstand friend, I not meant that the more modern movies are better in terms of quality
but industry standard has changed and ultimately if you've seen something newer it's appeal is higher because of the effects and you're not as likely to enjoy it because of what you've already experienced

>>726242175
That movie was terrible

#1 Full Metal Jacket

>>726240468
I like fury, but the only thing i fucking hate about this movie is how they made the SS battalion look so fucking retarded at the last battle. Like just flank the fucking tank, blow up the barrel with grenades and be done with it.

Glory
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Braveheart

>>726241783
Alright fuck the top 3's just gonna post a list of must watch war movies.

Patton
The longest day
Battle of Ardenne's

Oldschool but damn good

1: Windtalkers
2: Enemy at the gates
3: Patton
All Quiet on the Western Front

>>726242980
Korean made, but pretty good if you can handle subtitles

Rather liked Fury. The Hurt Locker is also interesting.

Foreign recommendations:

> Zwartboek (Black Book) with Carice van Houten (red priestess in GoT)
> Soldaat van Oranje (Soldier of Orange) with a young Rutger Hauer

Dutch war films work really well, because .nl has a rich ww2 history and the dutch style of film and storytelling is very direct, crude and sexual. Tells it like it is.

> La Vita e Bella
Now this is pretty arthouse, but it's a beautiful period film

Also watched Band of Brothers recently, fucking fab with the veterans speaking, and the true stories.

>>726240468
No Hamburger Hill?

>>726240468
We were soldiers
Hacksaw Ridge
Rogue One
American Sniper

Path of glory (kubrick) ww1

>>726242653
>blow up the barrel with grenades
Retard. If it can take the strain of firing a shell, a grenade isn't going to bother it.

The best 3 will be the autobiographic trilogy from how The founding Father Donal Trump frees America from the muslim and latino scum.

>master and commander
>napoleonic wars

Although its set during the napoleonic wars, its really more about life at sea during a british and french naval battle. So don't expect cavalry and line infantry. I would recommend Waterloo for that stuff.

Starship Troopers.
Three Kings.
Inglorious Bastards.

I think Three Kings is highly underrated personally.

>>726246421

One of the "KINGs" is a stinKINGnigger.
