I'd have to go with "Final Countdown" as the best war film ever made.

Tora! Tora! Tora!  

Probably because it was a Japanese/US co-production.  Seemed every even handed and unbiased.

Legionaire!!! (dunno how to spell it)

It had Jean Claude Van Dam, so you KNOW it had to be kick ass!!!!

But seriously, there was this movie I saw a while ago.. I think it had Jim Belushi in it... he was the tank commander for a tank called Lulubell (I think)... they were in the African desert fighting and found a demolished building that had a water supply. Water supply was all dried up, but a battalion of Germans were on their way there to get the water. They held the area to hold up the Germans so they couldn't get either to Italy or some other place in Africa.

Anyone remember what it was called?

"The Eye Of The Needle" or "Patton"

"SPR" too...



I agree with Animal for the worst war movie.
