Best War Flicks

[Redskins Win]

I just saw Black Hawk Down for about the bazillionth time, there is so much action in it, it almost gets boring. However, it is one of the best depictions of the military at war that I have ever seen. The way it's filmed kind of grainy and the location are just mind blowing.
Quick ranking
1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Black Hawk down
3. Appocolypse Now ("do you smell that")
4. Boys in Company C
5. Glory
Honorable mentions: Platoon, 3 Kings

I know there's a bunch of cool war movies that I'm not mentioning that's why I thought this would be a cool discussion.

I like A Thin Red Line. We also watched We Were Soldiers in History last year.

its not a movie but the mini series band of brothers on HBO was incredibly good, just got the box set, 14 hours of WW2 baby.

enemy at the gates is one of my favorite war movies because for some reason ive always liked the idea of being a sniper. off the top of my head though, id say saving private ryan is the best one ive seen.

Speaking of a war series... Over There on FX is really good. I completely forgot about Enemy At The Gates.

Band of Brothers was amazing. I would have to say Black Hawk down would be on the top of my list, due to the event actually happening.

Saving Private Ryan was great, as was Full Metal Jacket, Band of Brothers and Blackhawk down.

Tons more, just my memory bites.
