Why is Band of Brothers in the poll? It's not a movie.
Anyway it's just one of the most incredible series productions I've ever seen. It tops any war movie out there, by a mile. Everything about it, from its realism, to its depiction of war, to its story-telling, is just amazing. It’s one of those rare gems that’s produced once in a decade.
Now here’s a list of my favorite war movies in no particular order:
1. Schindler’s List
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. The Thin Red Line
4. Apocalypse Now
5. Full Metal Jacket
6. The Pianist
Probably a few that I've forgotten! :)
Schindler’s List is so powerful that it’s hard to watch. Saving Private Ryan is an all-time classic that makes a strong impact. Some of the scenes and images from the first 30 minutes sticks with you for a very long time!
Thanks,
Nebula82.

Henry V
Marvelous work by Kenneth Branaugh generally but, of course...the opus that drives men to tears-
"This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool." Lester Bangs

Several others to consider: The Burmese Harp, Grave of the Fireflies (more anti-war are these two films, both Japanese), Ran, the Grand Illusion, and Wings. I suppose the criteria would have to be defined better; strictly about fighting a war, events that coincide with (a specific) war, or movies that involve the military to some degree but not always in a war. The list could be inexhaustible.
Ah 1,550 posts, nice round number to take a break on. :))

Dr. Strangelove and Patton are two other movies I highly recommend!
Patton is a good movie about the man & WWII, but Dr. Strangelove is a cult classic. It’s hilarious, downright hilarious but dark as well. Kubrick takes a subject as serious as the Cold War and turns it into a comedy, but with a potent anti-war message. Don’t rent it, buy it!
