Best (modern) war movie?

[Bereta_Eder]

I didn't know that. But yep it was a very good movie I thought.

"The Battle of the Bulge", "Patton","Platoon", ....


and this amazing amazing soviet movie of a Georgian farmer that joins the army during WWII to find his son, who was conscripted earlier. It made me cry like a little girl.

Hi,

Where is "Windtalkers"

Have a nice day.

Well, there you have a sleeping pill even outscoring "The Thin Red Line".

And don't steal other people's signatures - There should be a TM attached to "Have a Nice Day", belonging to you-know-who

PS: Edit: Duh, I looked at the wrong posters avatar. Don't post when drunk... (but how else could I get the time? My kids are sleeping now.)

His three dimensional mustaches enchanted my soul and made my buttocks shiver uncontrollably with desire.

But maybe you're refering to Azazel's horny baby?

[Bereta_Eder]

Ok

6. Tora, Tora, Tora (gotta love great sea classics)

Hell yeah!

Another decent film (although not because of it's warscenes) is the "Deep Blue World", a recent Chech production.

Come on, let's talk a little bit about the movies. Starship Troopers struck me because of the eye-poking lack of tactical logic in combat. Now, I hate war and I'm no war expert, but maybe there are a couple more so-called "great war films" that are essentially wrong. And I' m not talking about Rambo now.

Run Silent, Run Deep!

[Thrawn05]

Black Hawk Down.

2nd: Tora Tora Tora
3rd: Longest Day

But the last too I guess are not considered Modern.

[Whoha]

Kelly's Heros

[Whoha]

And for Starship troopers, read the book, apparently the movie people felt the need to make everyone dumber, change some people into women, throw in a love story for the hell of it,ruin the principle enemy,etc.(sound familiar yet?)

War Games.

"Shall we play a game?"
"How about Global Thermonuclear War?"

[Boris Godunov]

A Bridge Too Far is absent? Tsk.

Of those listed, had to pick Das Boot. An anti-war war movie.

the movies should at least have some basis in reality.

Like the Sum of All Fears once had.

[Tattila the Hun]

How about Stalingrad? Or The Cross of Iron?

My fellow finns might have seen Talvisota, anyone else seen it?

Or Green Berets, where John Wayne, as Lauri Törni (With different name, though...) wins the Vietnam war.
