Best War Film Ever !

ooops i wasnt ment to be that big photobucket resized it

 

No ones said it yet and I quite liked it:

Black-Hawk Down

 

Enjoyable film but seriously flawed with innaccuracies of how the events took place.

 

Das Boot
Patton
Cross of Iron
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter

to name a few



and yes Band of Brothers deserves a mention too

 

I didn't put Black Hawk Down as it got slated as above but as a "film" it's good, the way things go wrong and bits like the snipers asking to be dropped off to protect the second crash etc.

 

some of you may not have heard of it, but theres an old humphrey bogart film called sahara.
he plays a tank commander seperated from batallion after the fall of tobruk. he limps this single
tank across the libyan desert picking up 5 fleeing british troops along the way. they end up
defending an old encampment with a water well from an approaching german force.
real david and goliath stuff. not the best war film ever, but a good watch.

"6ft 2? I didn`t know they stacked poo that high, where you from private?"
