Best War Movie

Another fantastic drama was The State. Set around a radicalised group of young Muslims who join ISIS then quickly realise the reality of what their situation is.

Some very horrowing scenes and an absolutely exceptional TV. Made by channel 4, should be available on their demand platform.
 
Not a film but Band of Brothers was exceptional.

more recently, Dunkirk and 1917 were very good.
Platoon, The Deer Hunter.
Where Eagles Dare
3 Kings.
For me, Band of Brothers is the best thing that’s ever been on TV or film.

The Pacific is also very good. The good thing for me is that I watched The Pacific before I’d ever watched Band of Brothers, so I thought TP was very good with no bias towards BoB (whereas others were somewhat disappointed with TP as it didn’t compare to BoB). Then I watched BoB straight after and was blown away… but I love both!

Hanks wanted to do a third series around the Battle of Britain but I don’t think it took-off (haha!) because American audiences would be as interested as they’d not entered the war then. Shame really as that really was when Britain was under the cosh!

Dunkirk and 1917 got some bad reviews, but I thought both were very good.

The Pianist is one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
Unlike 'The Piano' which has to be the worst god knows how many hours of film watching i've ever endured.

There's a foreign language film, possibly 'The Tank', which is remarkable. Set entirely inside a tank fighting it's way out of a war zone.

I thought 1917 was astonishing. Its the first time I've ever seen the trenches realistically portrayed (not that I was there of course and my only other point of reference was Blackadder Goes Forth)
