Best War Film

[Yoda]

Star Wars is fictious.

But the concept was taken from the earlier WWII films and largely based on 633 squadron. YouTube - Starwars: 633 Squadron Mosquito Deathstar attack

To me the definition of a War Film is based on one of the Wars that have taken place on this Earth and based on true events.

Schindlers list is not really a war film. Okay it is based in wartime but I would say it isn't really in that genre.

Private Ryan is great though.

I agree to an extent Nibble. Would you classify Star Wars as a War film by the way ?.

Fantasy War but wouldn't say it has a place on a best war film list , no. In the same way I would not put Lord Of The Rings in, it has battles and a fictional war but is not a war film.

Band of Brothers is my favourite war film type thingy but that was a TV series so I can't imagine you lot will allow it in this list.

I reckon Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I agree Nibble I just think its someone trying to wind me up by talking bollocks and I really am not in the f***ing mood for it today.

A little suggestion would be not to carry on going on about it on this thread, if you are not in the mood for it today.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Fair enough Piers.

 

[Bars Mar]

Would Police Academy 2 Count? They Kind Of Went To War There.

Are you saying US likes to bicker for the attention?
That's shocking Piers, i expect more from you

 

[Tooting Gull]

Big fan of both The Eagle has Landed, and Where Eagles Dare. I first read Reach for the Sky when I was a kid, and so that film too. Just a great story.

Indeed, but am on a mission to let everyone down today...

 

[fatfingers]

Blood Diamond , set during a civil war?

 

[Staly]

Das Boot, anyone?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cativo

I am booking tickets for The Good, The Bad and The Weird on at the London Film festival. Korean spaghetti western. Sounds cool.

 

[London Calling]

Das Boot certainly, I gather Stalingrad is good?
