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?
Trix
I made some like this a while back.

as for recomendations, Black Hawk Down's a winner, as is Platoon.
Gemmell
most probably seen it but "we were soldiers"
Deathvein
I may check out Black Hawk Down. The game's decent enough.

Last war movie I purchased was Southern Comfort. Good watch.
KMA
its all quiet on the western front
junk shop loz
Jacob's Ladder.

Scary shit.
James L
id recommend, in no real order

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.

My absolute must see war movie recommendation is Brotherhood, its a korean film about the korean war,and is absolutely amazing, WATCH IT!

It's alright. Gets too farfetched though.

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.
shawn
anyone watch letters from iwojima?
junk shop loz
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.

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.
Trix
Just watched the entire Band of Brothers series.
