Favourite War Film

[John Beaman]

Hmmm.... I must disagree with our beloved site owner, for once.

Tora, Tora, Tora is very accurate for what it does (unlike Pearl Harbor which is garbage). Unfortunately, for today's generation, it does not have, sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, just decent history.

And, what about Gunga Din? A movie about how we think India should be in history, and, it has a real British officer from one of the Guards Regiments!

[Ruy Horta]

Ah a couple more.

Hell in the Pacific
Sgt York
Letters from Iwo Jima
The Great Escape
Battleground

M*A*S*H (the movie)

Stalingrad (ok...forgetting the "righteous twist")

Hart's War (nice dogfight / aerial scene).

Those civil war flicks produced by Ted Turner have something, although sometimes the "drama" ends up looking a bit funny.

All Quiet on the Western Front should be mentioned (30-ies version).

Ah, for a 'interesting" experience try The 9th Company, which is a pretty slick Russian / Ukrainian (and more?) coproduction. Heavy on the action, even some sex, drugs and rock and roll. Some stuff is over the top, but there are some gems in between (certainly if you like original Soviet hardware).
