Military Movies Thread

I've done some searching and can't find any threads on military movies. I think its time we got one to discuss any particular movies we have seen or heard about past or present.
Let me start with my 3 favorites:

Apocalypse Now - Really liked the use of the Doors music
All Quiet on the Western Front (based on the book by my great grand uncle) - one of the few English movies to show the German side of the war
As Far as My Feet Will Take Me - A German made movie about POWS in Russia

what about you guys anything in particular?

Black Hawk Down
the ones about the Serbians (I forget the name of them)
We Were Soldiers Once

Those are prob my top faves

Its weird, I just watched that movie this past weekend. A great movie in many ways. How about:
A Bridge Too Far
Stalingrad (German made)
Thin Red Line

Downfall
Blackhawk down
letters from Iwo Jima

Das Boot
Enemy at gates
The longest day
The Green Berets
Platoon

And movies you guys picked. I have many more favorites.

You all have pretty much named all the ones I like.
Saving Private Ryan is one of my all-time favourites, also. There are honestly so many war movies I can't name all the ones I've seen and liked. I do remember another "smaller" movie called Hell is for Heroes, I believe Steve McQueen was in it...I've only seen it once, though.

Now you mentioned Steve McQueen....

Sand Pebbles
The Greatest Escape

For me it's:

1. The Green Berets

2. Apocalypse Now

3. A Bridge Too Far

I was under 10 yrs. old when Apocalypse Now was shown here and I did not understand the movie much. It was shot on location here in the Philippines too bad I wasn't collecting then or else I could have inquired about the uniforms they used. Another movie that comes into mind is Battle of Midway. I think that was the first movie that they featured with "Sensoround" sound. Saving Pvt. Ryan is also in my list with those gory and realistic scenes.

Devils Brigade is one of my favs. The upcoming movie Tommy Prince: Prince of the Devils i'm sure will be a favorite as well.

AH! How could I have forgotten Devil's Brigade?!? I loved that movie; it was funny, but very enjoyable at the same time.

I also found the movie 12 O'Clock High to be very good as well.

1. Full Metal Jacket
2. Full Metal Jacket
3. Full Metal Jacket
