Favourite War Film?

[Gregory2Smith1]

obviously saving private ryan must be there,but anyone seen the aussie film set in vietnam called "the odd angry shot"

it's a great film,one of my favourite lines from it is

"be nice to me cookie or i'll piss in your scrambled eggs"

 

[StonehamPark]

Not exactly a classic but I really like Three Kings.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The greatest ever sequence recorded in cinematic history. I think many film critics agree with this. A director at the peak of his abilities.

The Thin Red Line.

This piece encapulates more than any other the horrors of war and going " to the line " for me. We think we have it tough, these Men had it tough. Thrown into a " tour of duty " they may not even have agreed with.

WE NEED ZE SPITFIRE.

I forget which film this was in, but I think Sean Connery shot a nazi through a window.
