Best War Films.

In your opinion, what's the best war film? Don't say BLOOD AND GUTS!!! because they all have that. ;)

I like Saving Private Ryan, We were Soldiers, and Blawk Hawk Down. :D

I like them because they are all very realistic. :happy:

war films:

probably one of my most hated genres along with westerns.

having said that, the best one is full metal jacket.

Starship Troopers and The Patriot.

lol starship troopers... that's a funny movie....

There is no best war film.

They all have unique qualities

The real question should be, how many have you seen ?
