War Movies - Your 3 Favorites

[passedpawn]

1. Saving Private Ryan (WWII)
2. Apocalypse Now (vietnam)
3. Southern Comfort (vietnam)

I will probably change my mind later when you guys post. I love war movies. Pretty sure #1 will stay there though. Pretty much the perfect movie.

 

[daveMN]

1. The Dirty Dozen (WW II)
2 the Great Escape (WW II)
3. The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (Civil War)
The last one may not be considered an actual war movie, more like how Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

 

[GTaylor]

1. Full Metal Jacket (Vietnam)
2. Saving Private Ryan (WWII)
3. We Were Soldiers/Platoon (Vietnam)
Hard to pick a favorite, my list could change tomorrow depending on the mood.
