Favourite War film

[Asht_200]

Everyone has their favourites and its always subjective, but whats your favourite war film? Can be any war etc.

Mine was and still is "Full Metal Jacket" however seems Empire's readers disagree and listed it nearly 400 places below "The Thin Red Line" in 500 Greatest Movies ever. Considering I've never seen Thin Red Line, I ought to try it out, however now looking for a list of films to watch.

My current list of War Films include:

Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan
Flags of Our Father
Letters from Iwo Jima
Where Eagles Dare
Dirty dozen
Heartbreak Ridge
Platoon
Windtalkers
Apocalypse Now
Deer Hunter
Inglorious Basterds
Gallipoli

Top Gun I don't consider a War Film

Its a war of acceptance, a battle of man vs homosexuality
