War movie thread

Gonna throw something a bit different in here. Life Is Beautiful

Apocalypse Now is pretty great, but I think Platoon is better.

Apocalypse now is a bit arty, and I kind of get a little bored in a lot of parts.

I would count Tropic Thunder.l

>>29451618
The only part of Apocalypse Now that I'd rather do without is the French villa part. Really just seemed like a thinly veiled rant about how fucked up America is.
I do like Platoon a lot, tho it seemed a bit campy

Flight of the intruder

>>29451670
Platoon is based on Oliver stones experiences in nam as an 11B

>>29451670
>the French villa part
that actually wasn't in the original release. it was put back into the Redux along with other footage like the Playboy Bunnies being whored out to the PBR crew for fuel

Oh yeah I know, I forgot to mention it's just in the redux. Although I do indeed prefer the redux over the original

>>29451717
Oh that's pretty cool, maybe I spoke too soon

Apocalypse Now is not technically a war movie, but its set in a war.

Apocalypse Now is the best film ever made.

As to warmovies:

>A bridge too far
>Thin red line
>letters from iwo jima
>platoon
>black hawk down
>full metal jacket
>Cross of iron
>Das boot

The beginning of Saving privat Ryan is obviously one of the best scenes ever made, but the rest of the film is literally trash.

Bridge Over the River Kwai

>>29454845
Why is the rest of the movie shit exactly?

And my favorite is either Saving Private Ryan or The Longest Day.

>>29451481
Zulu
Cross of Iron
Stalingrad 1993
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
>>29451568
Good choice anon.

>>29455530
I forgot Into the White is also good
Those are it for me as far as shit that's not SAVING PRIVATE RYAN BLACK HAWK DOWN FULL METAL JACKET PLATOON
I dunno if the Meiji restoration counts as a war but if it does then When the Last Sword is Drawn is up there too

Zulu
Dogs of War
Battle Ground

This, or Failsafe. Although the latter was more of a thriller, but still HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
>tfw still get chills from Henry Fonda's performance as POTUS talking with the Premier.

Best of the post-Nam "wish a nigga would" movies. Also, the A6 is a god-tier beast.

Best war movie coming through

>>29457125
It's April 1st. This shit is happening all over the internet.

>>29451481
Technically not a "War Movie" but I've always loved Lord of War. Can't fight a modern war without guns.

>>29454845
You can't claim it isn't a war movie without some explanation. Tell us why, anon

>>29455546

You're the only guy on here who's ever seen it I think. Such a great movie, Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe are perfect.
