I enjoyed watching war movies all the time. It shows as the hardship and pain of war and make us realize that it is a living hell. I will start with my own: Black Hawk Down Thin Red Line Letters from Iwo Jima Schindler's List Forrest Gump The Dear Hunter The Bridge on River Kwai Apocalypse Now Glory Taegugki Full Metal Jacket Platoon Saving Private Ryan A Beautiful Life What about yours?

hands down Saving Private Ryan. A lot of the movies you mentioned are good, sure, but none of them are as visceral and as moving as SPR. From the groundbreaking opening scene, to the characters. Tom Hanks' character alone is a bomb by itself. A schoolteacher, out in the middle of Europe, fighting nazis. And for what it's worth, they were robbed of the Best Picture award. Shakespeare In Love? Seriously??

Judging tend to be subjective. Well what can I say, Hurt Locker beats Avatar. Dark Knight was not even nominated..A lot of issue in the Oscars..

hi kenites, I personally love Schindler's List and Black Hawk Down. I also love Wind Talkers, Enemy at the Gates and Behind Enemy Lines. The movies you have mentioned are all interesting and I like it as well.

the only war movie that I finished is Black Hawk Down and it really is a very good movie. Now I got movie names to download. I hope I could watch them soon

I don't watch as many war films as I used to do but my favourites would be quite a few of those you listed like Schindler's List, Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter and Black Hawk Down. My favourite at the moment which I watch at least once a month is We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson set during the Vietnam War. I think it is a really powerful film.
