Saints and Soldiers
The Way Back Heartbreak Ridge Lions for Lambs Enemy at the Gates saints and soldiers and enemy at the gates are easily two of the best war movies I have EVER seen. The Way Back takes place post/during WWII and it's not movie about WAR but rather war PRISONERS. Can't go wrong with any of the movies I recommended and they are not gore filled so I would say are appropriate for a whole family, maybe not small children. Private Ryan is about 1000% gorier than any of the movies I listed.

i love movies that are portrayed in a more realistic manner. So my faves are Black Hawk Down, Jarheads, and Saving Private Ryan. Tears of the sun is a darn good Movie too. We Were Soldiers isn't the best out there but not going to lie... those guys were F^%$ing hard core in real life, and it's def worht watching at least once.

These are some of my Favorites:
Full Metal Jacket ( A must for Marines like me!) Platoon Saving Private Ryan Flags of Our Fathers/Letters to Iwo Jima (great if you love an awesome storyline) Apocalypse Now (another Vietnam movie) The Hurt Locker (touches real close to home for me) The Pacific ( this should have been a two part feature film!) The Patriot (to break up the monotony of Vietnam/WWII movies) The Red Baron Hamburger Hill I don't know about regular people, but The Hurt Locker really gets to me personally (maybe it's the demons I battle from my time in Iraq). It's very accurately depicted. Almost forgot Enemy at the Gates ( I love that movie too !) Thanks Ed! |

Can't go wrong with an Ed Harris movie. I'm going to have to check that one out. Thanks
Edit Nevermind I was thinking about The Great Raid. A little IMDB never hurts in the morning. Last futzed with by mariorivera830; August 20th, 2012 at 06:06 AM. Reason: Mistake |

Full Metal Jacket, Blackhawk Down, and Band of Brothers are my favorites. Just don't make any plans once you start watching Band of Brothers. You'll end up watching it all day long. It really sucks you in.

Its good movie, but not really a war movie...I like war movies with swords better than guns...
Gladiator The Last Samurai 300 Braveheart Defiance We Were Soldiers The Patriot The Last of the Mohicans Tears of the Sun Warhorse Empire of the Sun Inglorious Bastards Kingdom of Heaven all I can think of right now...

Yes, like a said it's not a movie ABOUT war, but movie that takes place DURING a war, about war prisoners/refugees.

The Way Back is a good film although there is some controversy whether those events really took place as told in the book The Long Walk by Sławomir Rawicz; the book that inspired the film. It's still a recommended watch though.
If we're going to add in movies that took place within the context of war but perhaps not qualify as an action war movie itself then I'm going to mention Schindler's List. |

True, it can be depressing but war is full of dualities and while there is lost and sadness in the film, there is also heroism, salvation and freedom.
Not sure if a Cold War movie has been mentioned yet but The Hunt for Red October is a good one. |

Previous movies mentioned are good. I'd add Defiance in that too.

Kingdom Of Heaven, about Jerusalem and the crusades.
Troy. Restrepo is a fantastic documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1559549/ Braveheart Behind enemy lines The Kingdom as other have mentioned, The Pacific and Band of Brothers. Casualties of war (gritty as **** but its a perfect interpretation of what happend during that time) Platoon BHD... The Warlords Flags of our fathers letters from iwo jima (Japanese side of the assault on iwo jima) Thin Red Line The War Tapes Ears, open, eyeballs, click. apocalypse now TV series called Over There King Arthur Independence Day Ironclad, Red Cliff 9th Company (russian invasion of afghanistan) Das Boot is fantastic. Ivans childhood (1962 film, might not be what you want haha) Fires On The Plain Tora, Tora, Tora Indigènes, english translation Days Of Glory. Assembly (fantastic film) Act Of Valor Front Line The Battle of Marjah the eagle the last legion U-571 K now i cant think of anymore off the top of my head. Should last you awhile OP lol. not all of them are necessarily "WAR" films, but they're military related. I know theres more, cant think of em atm. Also. some of these are Foreign movies. Hope that isnt an issue as alot of foreign films are amazing. |
