    • My personal favorites in no particular order are

      Gettysburg
      Saving Private Ryan
      Tora Tora Tora

      I have also recently become a fan of Letters from Iwo Jima (always interesting to see things from the other side)

      And although these are a little cheesy, I like Midway and In Harms Way as well.

        In Harms Way - cheesy but the Duke is cool. And how bout when Kirk Douglas slaps that mamby-pamby Lt not once, but twice! I lost my respect for him after he assaulted Dawn though.

        cool foreign film: Downfall - fantastic portrayal of Hitler and his madness in the bunker as Berlin crumbles around him.
        The film is in German, with English subtitles. You can really get a sense of Hitler's insanity listening to him rant in German. Quite powerful.

        • The Battle of Algiers by Pontecorvo.

          So good, so realistic that it was used, in its entirety for instructional purposes in the JFK Special Warfare Center at Ft. Bragg and the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth. The second time I saw it it was pitched to a short-course at Leavenworth and introduced by a French LTC who had not only fought in Algeria, but had been jailed for rebelling against De Gaulle (maybe he was in the 1st REP) and then rehabbed back into the French Army. Coincidentally, I just found this film on enhanced DVD last Saturday and picked it up. I strongly recommend it.

          • 'Come And See'. It's Russian, it's one-sided but it's brutally realistic and accurate. A masterpiece. If you've not seen this one, then do so ASAP. You'll not regret it!

              Since it was mentioned a few times on this forum I watched it. It was... interesting.

              • JP dutta's "BORDER" based on the battle of Longewala is probably the best Indian war film

                • For every good one, there is 10 bad ones.

                  Best tongue in cheek: Kelly's Heroes
                  Best factual: Tora Tora Tora, Battle for Midway
                  Best Visually: Saving Private Ryan

                  But then again, I will probably think of three others tomorrow ;)

                    One of my favorite lines-TSGT Oddball to Kelly.."We've got the fastest taanks in the European Theatre forwards or backwards.Ya see,we like to be able to get out of trouble as fast as we got into it..."or Moriarity..."Tigers?!We was ASSAULTED by them Tigers!!"

                                By Indian standards Lakshya was also a good one
