not war movies



gumps a good movie but not a war movie

A Bridge Too Far

Dam Busters (not really known in North America, but still pretty big in Britain. The true story of how they designed a bomb to skip along the water when dropped so that it would hit and destroy dams in Germany)

Tora Tora Tora

And if anyone says "Star Wars", they will receive a seven day ban.

Gallipoli was pretty good, too.
- Atomic Wedgie

Kelley's heroes

Nobody should ever question this. you win.
- The Law

A little too psychadelic at times but still a classic.

The Subban situation is one mis-step away from ugly. I still think it gets done in Montreal, but there are some crazy things starting...
- The_Vark

so in other words I am throwing out any scenario that could happen.

I have to go: Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and Band of Brothers...which is a mini-series but it's probably the best of the bunch. The Pacific? Meh, good but not as good.

Inglorious Basterds gets a possible nod as well. Just not sure if it will stand the test of time as well as the others.

Cant believe no one has mentioned Platoon yet. Yes I know Charlie Sheen was in it but despite his best efforts to ruin it Dafoe and Berenger made it awesome.

There is a few good ones, like the ones you mentioned, I prefer the older ones, Midway and The Guns of Navarone.

Oooo I almost forgot..

Enemy at the Gates ... very cool movie.

I want them to act like they have balls!
I want them to stop sh!tting their pants!

Rambo First Blood Part 6: The Rebloodening.

lol, Apocolapyse Now had a good soundtrack, that's about it, not that great of a movie, imo.
- LeafMan

Imo the movie is good...but its more of a philosophy film rather strictly a war film.

So do I. I think that's likely stronger than most third lines in the league. Mac would easily fit in on most second lines int he league, and Frattin is starting to develop into a guy that can as well. And both are workhorses. Pretty solid on the wings. But Kadri doesn't belong on the third line.
- prock

I think Kadri would relish between those guys. 14-15 mins a night, on a solid line. Plus some PP time now and then is where Kadri needs to start.

The Longest Day is still my favourite but I'm not a war movie guy, the The Bridge on the River Kwai is up there to.

Although not really factual (Americanized) The Great Escape is good, my top three.
- LeafMan

Oh poop, how could I forget:

Lawrence of Arabia

I have to go: Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and Band of Brothers...which is a mini-series but it's probably the best of the bunch. The Pacific? Meh, good but not as good.

Inglorious Basterds gets a possible nod as well. Just not sure if it will stand the test of time as well as the others.

I literally just started watching this after all these years. Saw Episode 1 on Sunday.

Also have to add the Deer Hunter.

and

Schindler's List ....and that Jewish-Italian one with the father that protects his son (not a classic war movie but wicked-ass good).

crazy show ..... shows u how (frank)ed up the war is

- Leafland

Well, with a little more depth on the wings, it's better than playing on the third line last year, with guys like Lombardi, or Crabb, or whoever the hell he was getting shifted around with.

I still really like Three Kings.

Forrest Gump was a terrible movie.

But I agree with your point: if you are going to include those, I'll put Raiders of the Lost Ark on the list.
