1.) The Alamo (Dennis, Billy bob)u(The Alamo is my favorite battle of all time, been into it since the 5th grade)

2.) Battle of Britain

3.) Saving Private Ryan

Also.. Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, Enemy at the Gates, Patton, A bridge too far.


With all of this WWII talk, when i see gettysburg, the alamo, and gods and generals its nice to see some fresh blood

Man, Lauren Holly had some great torpedoes, didn't she?

1) Gettysburg - Especially the music. It may be one of the most perfect purely instrumental scores I've ever heard, there's absolutely no choir (this was before EVERYONE started to use chorale in their scores) but there's times where the voicing and orchestration is just so PERFECT that it sounds like voices.

2) Saving Private Ryan

3) The Longest Day

Band of Brothers is really cheating because it's a miniseries, not a movie.

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):

The Great Raid
Top Secret! (it's SORT of a war movie)
Glory
Operation Petticoat
Tora Tora Tora
Stripes
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
