For whatever reason anyone deems a particular war movie is the best they have seen, it is up to them only what criteria they use.
The question was what do YOU think was the best war movie.
It didn't extend to why.
It is just a fun poll Snowleopard, not a university thesis for you Phd.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL ........................... no insult taken and none intended.
Secondly, you'll learn that of me, I like to explain, ie, talk a lot.
Next, that's what I put down, what I thought was the best war movie but understand, they are taken from certain points of view. So despite that I'm American and was in service during the Cold War, I was not so anxious to see movies that had "Kill a Commie for Ronnie".
Following that, when I do my PhD, it may be in oceanography, it could be in Criminal Justice, it might even be in Psychology or Education .... but it probably won't be in film analysis .......... (though I have done media research from time to time from various angles).
For example, ever notice how Xena and Gabrielle resemble ........... Wicked Wanda and Candyfloss despite there being a 20 year difference? There's food for thought!
Back to the subject at hand, movies are made to sell to a particular audience. If they fail at that, odds are they will be forgotten. It's the memory of the audience that receives them that makes them great, IMHO.
