I thought it'd be a good idea to bring war related movies into discussion using this thread.
Can anyone recommend me some good movies?

platoon
thin red line
jarhead
Apocalypse now (watch it at least once,just for the experience)
Black hawk down is okish,just not much depth to it.

It's suposed to be, some criticize it as pretentious but I've always though it Coppola got his point across.
"We Were Soldiers" was quite good.
"Platoon" is awesome.
"Hamburger Hill" and "Full Metal Jacket" are worth a watch.
I agree with KMA and JamesL "Taegukgi" (Brotherhood of War) is fucking brilliant, I love Korean cinema.
Watch "The Green Berets", a terrible film but so awful it's hilarious, if you don't watch it for comedic value a least watch it just so you can say you've seen the worst war film ever made.

Three Kings is awesome.
Not the traditional 'war' movie but awsome nonetheless.
These kind of films are just too much fro though really....they make me want to cry.

Jarhead is good.
It was allright, but it stole from other films before it, like full metal jacket.

Full Metal Jacket is one of Kubrick's finest, and Platoon is also amazing. Born on the Fourth of July is also a great war flick.
