Best war films

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

I forgot Anthropoid . Maybe biased because Cillian Murphy is the lead . Those eyes get me every time ....

Also the 1975 version Operation Daybreak with the crazy electronic music score. Starring Martin Shaw, Timothy Bottoms, Anton Differing, Diane Coupland, and Joss Ackland to name but a few. The scene in the flooded cellar is better than Anthropoid imo, but thats a great film as well and I have both on blu ray/DVD.

All Quiet on the Western Front. The original version is a great film pointing out the futility of war.
