Saving Private Ryan.    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 8:56 AM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) My favourite war film by a country mile is Battle of Britain. That said, I think the best war film ever made - from the point if view of historical accuracy and absence of melodrama - is A Bridge Too Far.    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 9:07 AM     By:   mgh   (Member) A Walk in the Sun The Story of GI Joe The Big Red One Battleground    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 9:51 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Stripes- That's the fact jack!    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 9:56 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) The Great Escape Saving Private Ryan    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 1:23 PM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) Battle Cry The Bridges At Toko-Ri In Harm's Way Patton Saving Private Ryan Band of Brothers The Pacific    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 2:54 PM     By:   fisch   (Member) deleted    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 2:57 PM     By:   dragon53   (Member) In no particular order: ZULU SAVING PRIVATE RYAN A BRIDGE TOO FAR THE LONGEST DAY PATTON BLACK HAWK DOWN THE GUNS OF NAVARONE WE WERE SOLDIERS THE DIRTY DOZEN THE GREAT ESCAPE KELLY'S HEROES WHERE EAGLES DARE TORA!

PEARL HARBOR BATTLE OF BRITAIN    Posted:   Nov 10, 2013 - 3:37 PM     By:   Rexor   (Member) The Steel Helmet    Posted:   Nov 11, 2013 - 5:41 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) That said, I think the best war film ever made - from the point if view of historical accuracy and absence of melodrama - is A Bridge Too Far. I half agree with this, in as much as it depends on whether The Battle of Algiers is a war film or not. I tend to classify it as current events, otherwise I would class it both as my favourite and the best ever war film. TG ps I mention The Battle of Algiers regularly, with little response as far as I can recall. Is this apathy down to me (understandable) or to the film (incomprehensible)?    Posted:   Nov 11, 2013 - 1:26 PM     By:   jackfu   (Member) Most all of the films listed thus far, can’t single one out as my most favorite, plus: Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo - while short on war action an awesome film, factually accurate and quite touching. They Were Expendable. Also, but not much loved by most due to their being factually challenged or other issues: Battle Of The Bulge – it even drew the ire of Ike, but I enjoy it immensely, great score. Midway – I know, but that score is worth the watch. The Blue Max- best-ever WWI dogfights, great score. PT-109 - too heavy on the JFK worship, but great cinematography and a great score (for which I’m still waiting). Not a war movie per se, but The Best Years Of Our Lives is a fave as well.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Veterans day, favorite war film?    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
