Anyone have an opinion on some of the best war movies?
My top 5 are:
1. Band of Brothers
2. Saving Pvt Ryan
3. Hell is for Heroes

I have no idea if netflix have any of these but you won't go wrong if you can find any of them.
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War.
The Lighthorsemen.
Piece of Cake (tv miniseries)
Sea Of Sand.
Hell In the Pacific.
-
Have seen both Tae Guk Gi and Piece of Cake through Netflix.
Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of war was pretty good, but don't think it has full impact for non-Koreans. The focus and conclusion pretty much hammers you over the head with "we're all one nation" theme...
Overall have to give the nod to "We were Soldiers Once" -- nothing else has done nearly as good a job at capturing what battle must feel like both in the field and for those left at home. Plus, Sam Elliot's Sgt role is priceless...

You beat me to it Simaril, "We Were Soldiers" is firmly 'Top 5" for me
We Were Soldiers
Blackhawk Down (my little brother fought in that battle, 'Chalk 2' Bravo Co, 3rd Rangers, their group dropped in on 1 corner of the Olympic Hotel to give support to the "D Boys" that had gone in to get Aidid's guys, and were closest to and first to arrive to secure the first Blackhawk that went down. He's not referenced by name in the movie but is many times in the book, as well as in the photos in the book. He lost a few really close friends that day, and couldn't make it through that entire movie the first few times he tried to watch it. According to him, you couldn't have made that movie any more realistic without actually killing people.)
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers (call it a multi-part movie)
Enemy At The Gates
Das Boot
Bat 21
Still trying to find Battle of Britain, never seen it

Yes, it's is not a bad movie, little slow at times.
-
a lot of movies are a little slow at times. not all of them, but most have at least one slow part.
-
Good movies need slow parts. Proper pacing is essential.
-
true, other wise they run outa plot.
-
1. We Were Soilders Once
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. In Harms Way
4. BlackHawk Down
5. Band of Brothers (best mini series ever)
-

More like you leaving the theater with a headache and missing half of the plot.
-
I know, I was joking sir.
-
i may have to go rent enemy at the gates. Ive been wanting to see it for a while now just never got around to it. :uhoh
-
I know, I was joking sir.
Oh... I'm not good at spotting jokes I'm afraid.
-
Its OK sir, so was my CO (before he disbanded the squad anyway), and we all got used to that type of thing.
-
I pretty much have to agree with most of the choses here. My wife loves In Harms Way. When you find a woman who loves The Duke, you just gotta marry her.
