Stalag 17. The bit where William Holden in on his bunk and figures out what's going on is utter genius.

Platoon and Saving Private ryan obviously and Jarhead, enemy at the gate and the pianist. The boy in the striped PJs was quite moving too. Also though it completely changed history Inglorious Basterds was awesome.
Also I have to mention a really poor war film which was that one with Nicholas cage where he just runs through bullets and back without a scratch pretty much through the whole film, dammit oh yeah windwalkers. |

To watch Ice Cold in Alex get it on DVD and get yourself some Carlsberg and a couple of those tall glasses.
Watch the film on a really hot day and right at the end pour yourself a cold one from the fridge and drink it down as John Mills downs his, much better movie interaction than this 3D crap

As already said by a few - All Quite on the Western Front. Even the later version starring "John Boy Walton" is quite good.
I quite like The Eagle has Landed as well as The Wild Geese - a bit silly but good fun. |

My favouritle war films, if not necessarily "the best" are
Where Eagles Dare Battle of Britain The Longest Day The Dirty Dozen A Bridge too Far the Bridge at Remagen (fantastic theme tune!) The Great Escape They don't make them like they used to. |

Fateless. - I really can not recommend this film enough and rarely see it mentioned. Like Schindler's List it is a Holocaust movie but tells the story of one boys journey thought the concentration camps, and it is harrowing.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FATELESS-REG...9550352&sr=1-2 Come And See - The bleakest war movie. Very powerful stuff. The whole movie has a very uncomfortable almost voyeuristic tone as if the viewer really shouldn't be there watching, hence the title. Schindler's List - The only time whilst watching any movie that I have had to look away from the screen for a second or two was during the Krakow liquidation scenes, just as a young boy is shot and Ben Kingsley's character stumbles backwards in shock. Ive read many book on the Holocaust since my early teens and this moment was a bit too much. Whilst not a movie, I have to say Band Of Brothers. |
