Two of my favourites (Might be a stretch to call these war films but they both have some pretty big bombs going off...)
Dr. Strangelove
Threads
What about Ice Station Zebra. Love the bit where they are in the pipes.
I remember The Wild Geese from my childhood as well. Remember sitting watching that with my Dad!
Apocalyse now. Never seen it myself though.
Thought Red Tails was a bit weak myself.Originally Posted by Rude Dog
BTW Thin Red Line isn't everyone's cup of tea. Some would say it's a pretentious load of old b*llocks. The director is a bit Marmite. Good battle scenes though.
Favourite is probably Apocalypse Now
And how about...
Ice Cold in Alex (1958)
No Man's Land (2001)

I'm not all that keen on war films, but even so,
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy at the Gates
Inglorious Basterds
Jarhead
In that order
there not my fav's, but there worth a watch...
84 charlie mopic
beneth hill 50 (or something like that!)
my fav is Apocalypse Now! not sure you can beat this film!!! i love the smell of napalm in the morning!
Just had a look at what I have on my DVD database and these showed up in my "War" section :-
Galipoli
Zulu
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Tigerland
Three Kings
Das Boot
The Great Escape
The Guns of Navarone
Hamburger Hill
Saving Private Ryan
The Longest Day
Come And See
A Bridge Too Far
Black Hawk Down
The Guns of Navarone
The Dam Busters
Would also add a Korean film called 'Brotherhood (taegukgi)' to the list
I'm sure I have a few more on bluray, but those will do.
Oh and re. The Thin Red Line, it's one of, I think, only two films I've watched at the cinema that bored me so much that I fell asleep. I've heard lots of people say it's a masterpiece, but I can't be bothered to waste 3 hours of my life yet again to see if I was wrong first time around.
Pearl Harbour
Saving Private Ryan
Menphis bell
Good list, but if you want a war film to test out the surround sound, it has to be "Flags of our Fathers" when the US Pacific Fleet opens up on Iwo Jima with the big gunsJust had a look at what I have on my DVD database and these showed up in my "War" section :-
