What would be your favorite war movie?

Mine would be -- Das Boot - Rotten Tomatoes.

With Schindler's List - Rotten Tomatoes a very close second.
I would pick "The Deer Hunter" because it was a good war movie AND its location started out very close to a town that I grew up in. After high school, many people used the line that the bartender used for ALL conversations.......F'n Aye !
.........It was also the 1st movie that I ever saw Merryl Streep in.

Excellent movie, and pretty true-to-life for a Gibson film. They did portray Col. Moore as a bit more heroic than he actually was apparently.

Another obscure movie 1967
“How I Won the War”

Benghazi. Never Forget.
No help sent by then Secretary of State Clinton.
I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to turn political. Got my answer.

"The General".

A bit dated, maybe...

I second the vote on Das Boot!

I was going to, however, nominate Dr. Strangelove...
