Grave of the Fireflies
Full Metal Jacket
Dunkirk
Bullet in the Head (1990)
Inglorious Bastards

I enjoyed Inglourious but I must admit I didn't know what to make of it.
Comedy or sort of weird fantasy ? Anyway Christopher Waltz was amazing as the evil Nazi officer.

I should really add The Cockleshell Heroes to this.

Platoon
Grave of the Fireflies
Full Metal Jacket
Dunkirk
Bullet in the Head (1990)
Inglorious Bastards

I wasn’t overly taken with Dunkirk. Thought 1917 was good but I thought that in Dunkirk they didn’t build up the retreat to the beach enough.Another 15/20 mins at the start would have made it better I thought.

Ce

Born on the fourth of July
The deer hunter
Platoon
Apocalypse now
Saving private Ryan
1917

Very good but wasn’t overly impressed with 1917.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Same.

 

[Big Swifty]

Paths of Glory.

Was banned in France for many years for showing up lying and corruption in the French corridors of power.

 

[Monksie]

Full Metal Jacket



The Longest Day
The Battle Of Britain
We Were Soldiers
All Quiet On The Western Front
The Great Escape

 

[Big Swifty]

How about one performance in a war film that dominates the screen? I'd go for George C Scott in "Patton".

 

[big gaz]

Come & See, what a film.
Katyn, a must see film.
Oh what a lovely, the ending has huge impact.
All quite on the western front, dovetails with above.
Cross of Iron,
Ivans Childhood.

Katyn is great but so sad and all true.

Bridge over the river kwai
