Memorable War Movies

199.80.70.126

Here is a list of some memorable war movies that I watched as a kid and
young adult:
1- The Longest Day : remember that it included an all-star cast.
2- Bridge Over The River Kwai: I really enjoyed that movie as a kid.
3- Bridges Over Tokyo-Ri: the final scene upset me, as Holden and Rooney
got killed in that Korean ditch. (viewed as a kid)
4- Dirty Dozen
5- Apocalyse Now - A realistic movie at times in a surreal way.
6- The Great Escape
7- Platoon
8- Fullmetal Jacket: A great first-half film; second half anti-climatic.
9- The Deer Hunter - A longish movie, but the Russian roulette scene is
a classic.
Addendum: Haven't seen "Saving Private Ryan" yet, read Archives so I
know it is controversial on this site; will let you know what I think
after viewing. Three movies that I saw that didn't impress me were
"Hamburger Hill"; "The Green Berets" and "Objective: Burma". - AH
