Yeah, I sure thought about that one. I figured I'd start it off in the 20th century, since there are so many to choose from. Great movie.

Hahah, we agree on a few things then Hollywood.
Troy is bad ass for sure, and I recommend Sgt. York for a good WWI movie. It's been years since I've seen it, but I remember digging the hell out of it.

My top 3 would be
Band of Brothers - greatness is all I can say
Saving Private Ryan - D-day scene when they storm the beach is killer
Full Metal Jacket

Pearl Harbor was good IMO. Favorite has to be Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers.

The Great Escape is awesome. Whats really cool is looking at some of the websites devoted to that movie. Seeing the way those tunnels were built.
Three Kings has gotta be one of the worst war movies ever. I don't know if you can classify The Manchurian Candidate as a war movie, but the remake with Denzel Washington is a great movie. Also, Glory, the Patriot and Saving Private Ryan are awesome as well.

Too bad we can't piece all of these movies into one.
Start with the boot camp of Full Metal Jacket.
The beach scene of Saving private ryan
The fighting in Hamburger hill.
The ending from Apocolypse now.
Other decent flicks that are a bit dated include
WWI - "The Blue Max"
WWII - "Midway" and "The Big Red One"

I'm not so sure I would qualify that as a "war movie". Cold War Techno-thriller something or other, but not so much a war movie.
But that does remind me of some not-so conventional war movies like Red Dawn and Rambo First Blood that were pretty great.

Cold War - Hunt for Red October. Not necessarily a "war" movie per say, but a damn good flick.

Agreed. Definitely my favorite Submarine movie for sure.
