Cheers

love a good war movie and have plenty in my collection
The Great Escape
The Devils Brigade
Von Ryans Express
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy at the Gates
Blackhawk Down
A Bridge Too Far
Bridge Over the River Kwai
We Were Soldiers
Platoon
All Quiet on the Western Front
Hamburger Hill
Full Metal Jacket
Apocolypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Das Boot
Tropic Thunder

and of course our own
Breaker Morant
The Odd Angry Shot

Nice collection there 'God'

Thin Red Line was also a great movie.

A couple not mentioned yet...
Stalingrad (the same mob who did "Das Boot")
Downfall

LL is that the Crows version of Downfall?

Eagle Has Landed was another corker.

Some good ones listed there.

Glory is another one.

A few more...

Casablanca
The Conformist
Divided We Fall
Dr. Strangelove
Lawrence of Arabia
The Lives of Others
No Man's Land
Pan's Labyrinth
The Pianist
Stripes
Tigerland
Zentropa

Escape from Sobibor.

2007 AFL GF,oh the bloodshed...

The Philadelphia Experiment
the hunt for red october

on a funnier side

In the navy

My favourites would be:

The Great Escape
Saving Private Ryan
Das Boot
Schindler's List (maybe not technically a war movie)
Stalag 17
Blackhawk Down
Breaker Morant (is brilliant)
Downfall
Glory
The Longest Day
Tora Tora Tora
Midway
... the submarine one with John Bon Jovi in it is good, not as good as Das Boot

The others mentioned so far are also good. Two that are a bit disappointing to me are The Battle of Britain and The Battle of the Bulge - just on the dull side for what are 2 of the most important battles of WWII.

Biggest gong has to go to Pearl Harbor

Nah the SEN one. A mate of mine gets a mention.

Dambusters was another I enjoy watching from time to time.
