"I love the smell of Napalm in the Morning" Gotta love it. "Apocalypse Now"

I have "We were Soldiers" on Blu-ray. It is one the best in my personal view. thumbsup

I'm going for a left field choice of Kelly's Heroes,simply because it's the one war film I have watched and enjoyed the most and will continue to do so.

Inglorious Basterds would be my runner-up.

As of now and subject to change.

Saving private Ryan.
Black Hawk down.
9th Company
Zulu
and for cowboy bank heist action ww2 style, Kelly's Hero's.

But this really does change based off my mood.

As so many of those older ww2 are really really good.

Like To Hell and Back.
A Bridge to Far.
Longest Day.

Less super duper but well worth a watch.

Battle of the Bulge
Dirty Dozen


Oh forgot Midway in there.

Battle of the Bulge

Bunch of non-English ones over the years that I just do not remember the names.


Oh forgot the Platoon... And others.. Geee.


That ww2 pretty much propaganda film.... Wake. They had everyone die.. They did not. Ended up in Japan as POW's. But since made in ww2 they did no know that.

Crap....forgot Go for Broke! I really do like that one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d96hP7HiQFc

OH boy big list.

For me probably Tora Tora Tora, Stalingrad, or Das Boot.

Glad to see 9th Company mentioned, I really enjoyed that too.

Never even heard of it. When did it come out and which war was it set in?

Edit: Never mind. I didn't realize that was the full title of the Mel Gibson Vietnam film.

It's extremely difficult to pick just one war film but my pick would be "Das Boot".

Flight of the Intruder - well, I liked it anyway

Memphis Belle


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
-Robert Heinlein
