What was the name of the Lee Marvin movie where he was stranded on a island with Jap pilot. They shot each other down and was trying to stay alive and the 2 became allies in order to survive? Very entertaining movie IMO.

Three best (IMO)

Gettysburg
Bridge Too Far
Glory

Honorable Mention- Battleground


Three worst (also IMO)

Gods and Generals (one of the WORST CW movies yet)
The Patriot (so inaccurate that I begin programs at the Fort with "Have you folks seen The Patriot? Ok, now forget everything you saw...")
Battle of the Bulge (Really? M-60s in an Alpine Tundra? And a climactic tank battle on the scale of Kursk? Really??)

Dishonorable Mention- Pearl Harbor ('nuff said)
Logged
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

We were soldiers (I watched Col. Moore on the news)
The longest day
A bridge too far

Blackhawk Down was good too.

Does Band of Brothers count even though it's a mini-series?

ROFL...you got me on that one Junky...it was billed as a "made for tv movie" then a mini series.


I totally forgot Saving Private Ryan on my list...except for that scumbag yellow corporal, the rest of the story was good.

Band of Brothers doesn't count as it's a mini-series and not a War Movie.

1. Saving Private Ryan

2. The Thin Red Line

3. We Were Soldiers

The Thin Red Line?  Where you on crack when you watched it?  That has to be one of the crappiest war movies ever made.  We Were Soldiers was a good action flick but they took way too many liberties with the story and painted a rather inaccute picture of the actual battle.
