Well, Hurt locker for me. It was awesome to see a different guy instead of the hardcore bullet spraying guy. my runner up would be letters from Iwo Jima. I love the cinematography. It sort of have the old feeling. For tv series, Band of brothers.
Longest day.
I'm going to have to go with either Cross of Iron or Das Boot, can't decide which one I like more.
[B][I]Valkyrie.[/I][/B] Loved it, I wasn't aware how many actual assassinations took place to try and remove Hitler.
Full metal jacket
Tropic Thunder, if that counts.
Saving Private Ryan.
i have to bee mainstream on this one but Brothers in arms and Saving private Ryan are my favorites Black hawk down is also great :patriot: P.S im not american(sadly :eng99:)
band of brothers
Inglourious Basterds and All's Quiet on the Western Front.
war tv series would go to Band of Brothers war movie would probably go to Red Dawn or Saving Private Ryan
Wanted, Star wars. Hands down.
Enemy at the gates. Really cool camera work and interesting story. also Inglorious Basterds
[QUOTE=Raged;20135384][B][I]Valkyrie.[/I][/B] Loved it, I wasn't aware how many actual assassinations took place to try and remove Hitler.[/QUOTE] I fell asleep for some reason in that movie, even though I was very interested in the film. Anyway for me it is '9 Rota' (9th Company).
Band of Brothers-Not only was the story great but all the actors did a great job portraying the real soldiers. It ranks up on my top series ever.
Platoon
Defiance.
Having some difficulties deciding, but'ah.. [B]Movies:[/B] [list] [*]Deer Hunter [*]Platoon [*]Saving Private Ryan [*]Full Metal Jacket[/list] [B]Series:[/B] [list] [*]Generation Kill[/list]
Saving Private Ryan, Valkyrie, All Quiet on the Western front
Saving Private Ryan, amazing movie.
Band of Brothers for TV 3 way tie between Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, and Full Metal Jacket(for setimental reasons) I really want to see The Hurtlocker though and if done correctly the Lone Survivor movie could be very good.

Favorite war films have to be Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. The Dirty Dozen is also a classic. For the TV Shows however...I must say Band of Brothers, and of course (even though it's not a war TV show of sorts...) M*A*S*H.
Full Metal Jacket Platoon Apocalypse Now Saving Private Ryan Hurt Locker (Not in order of greatness). TV Series has to be Band of Brothers.
War of the Worlds.
A lot for me for example: - Band of Brothers - Die Brücke von Remagen (The Bridge at Remagen) - Der Untergang - Der Soldat James Ryan (Saving Private Ryan) - Hitler - Aufstieg des Bösen (Hitler - The Rise of Evil)
platoon, bridge on the river kwai, glory, der untergang and obligatory saving private ryan, but i think bridge on the river kwai is much better
Flyboys and Passhendale are my two favorite movies, even though they're like chick flicks. With TV series i'd go with Band Of Brothers as well.
Enemy at the Gates. Tora! Tora! Tora! (The good Pearl Harbor movie) I still haven't seen Hurt Locker.
[QUOTE=Munchiselleh;20139879]platoon[/QUOTE] full metal jacket and apocalypse now were better vietnam movies than platoon was
