[SpiceRacz]

Last one I saw was 1917 and it was excellent.

 

[frostyxc]

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930 silent version)
Saving Private Ryan (obviously)
Black Hawk Down (Obvs Obviously)
The Guns of the Navarone
Ran (I think that counts)

 

[diffusionx]

Apocalypse Now and Paths of Glory are probably the #1 and #2 best movies ever made.

Band of Brothers
Saving Private Ryan (Turn it off after the opening sequence and watch Band of Brothers instead)
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket

Definitely Full Metal Jacket
Glory
The Great Escape

 

[BigBooper]

The Great Escape is probably my favorite.

The Desert Fox is entertaining.

The Best Years of Our Lives is a good coming home from war and adjusting back to normal life movie.

Saving Private Ryan still has the best combat sequences.

Terminator, the war against the machines still rages.

 

[Dark Star]

War Horse is amazing.

 

[Flame_alchemist]

Return of the king.

 

[Mikado]

Hyena Road.



Edit: Something you don't see very often: a Canadian take on a post-2001 Afghanistan war movie.

 

[Brian Fellows]

A Midnight Clear
When Trumpets Fade

 

[Cato]

The Deer Hunter

 

[Aarbron]

Can't really add to what has already been listed. But Where Eagle's Dare has always stood out for me.

Doesn't have the gritty realism of today's films. Nor the historical accuracy. But, Where Eagle's Dare has always been a favourite of mine since childhood.

The intro music is right up there with the greats:



Plus Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton shooting and blowing up shit - what more does one need?

Kajaki: Kilo Two Bravo was also a pleasant surprise.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

Apocalypse Now

 

[betlbum2]

1917
Great Escape
Glory
Not a war movie but I love the original -
12 Angry Men

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

There are so many obvious choices already said, but here is an off the radar Nuclear war movie.

By Dawn's Early Light. (starring Rebecca DeMornay)

 

[Richard Packer]

Saving Ryan's Privates.

 

[SimpleKindofMan]

Johnny Got His Gun

A lot of people know the movie from the clips used in a Metallica video. The movie was directed by the author of the book (also recommended).

The most intense and personal war movie I ever saw. I can’t explain it any other way. Watch it alone with no interruptions. It’s a different kind of war/horror movie.

I read the book and it took me years to track down the DVD. I think I had to import it from France. It looks like Amazon has it now.

 

[megamerican]

Cross of Iron is my favorite of all time. So damn good

 

[Uhtred]

THE THIN RED LINE

 

[AV]

I'm sure we had this thread not long ago. Anyway, everyone already listed the obvious ones so I'll go to bat for Jarhead, great early Sam Mendes movie with Gyllenhaal and Foxx, has a great punchline.



Also Full Metal Jacket is getting a 4K re-release which is fucking great news.
