Question Favorite War movie in honor of Veterans' Day-- November 11, 2023.
100 Best War Movies of All Time | Rotten Tomatoes

What would be your favorite war movie?

Mine would be -- Das Boot - Rotten Tomatoes.

With Schindler's List - Rotten Tomatoes a very close second.

Saving Private Ryan. But simply cannot bring myself to watch the first 20 minutes anymore. Too realistic.

Great Spielberg & Hanks film.

Paths of Glory.

One of the best anti war movies ever made.

I recall an older gentleman coming into the Palm Harbor, FL theater with his wife or significant other and moving rather easily near the start of Saving Private Ryan. Leaving he could hardly walk.

I had been sitting near them and heard many very shocked reactions from them. They did watch the entire film.

There are so many that I like, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, The Deer Hunter, Patton, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Stalag 17, and so on.

The two movies that are my oldest favorites are Sahara (1943) and A Walk In the Sun (1945).

They Shall Not Grow Old

They Shall Not Grow Old - Wikipedia

The movie takes old black and white newsreels of troops, colorizes it, and adds sound.

When the movie ended, there was absolute silence in the theater.

And one I just watched this week.

The Great Escape.

As good as I remember it!
