Favorite War Films?

[1911Fanatic]

Always loved Bridge on the Rive Kwai. Then found out the only reality in the move was the way the enemy treated prisoners. So-so now for me.

Yeah, but you gotta love pre Star Wars Alec Guinness

Aloha, Mark

+1 for this. Not the greatest war flick put out there, but different enough for me to hold interest. Mercenaries comitting a coup on a small African country for puppeteers looking to secure the countries resources? Whats not to like?

And Walken, c'mon....

 

[Cavedweller]

Whats not to like?

Not enough mercenaries.

Not actually A WAR movie, but plenty of Samurai action (and a good story to boot). The classic version of.........
