Was going to post this in the random pic thread but here seemed more appropriate.

I don't think I saw Glory. Great Civil War movie.
Gettysburg. The Patriot (not exactly "histrocial", but fairly accurate I think for the era of combat). Same thing could be said for Brave heart. A Bridge Too Far Patton Of them all, Band of Brothers is pretty darn accurate. While not "technically" a war movie, The Kingdom is pretty accurate I think in regards to GWOT. Three Kings is pretty good for the Gulf War. Heartbreak Ridge. _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |

When Trumpets Fade http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0135706/ I believe it is still free for Prime members |

M*A*S*H the movie was far superior to the TV show IMHO. Donald Sutherland's Hawkeye is much better. Another one that I forgot to add to my list, but is totally one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess I don't really consider it a "war movie", even though it's in a war setting. _________________ "If it doesn't work, the proper sequence of tools is duct tape->screwdriver->hammer->shotgun.

I cannot really identify a favorite, I loved them all for their specific content, but I will tell you that I watched Saving Private Ryan moreso than any others.
Looking forward to the USS Indianapolis movie, my great uncle Walter McFall was a survivor and only spoke of his terror in the water ONCE. He died an alcoholic at age 50. _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S. Thompson |
