I think with Pearl Harbor, the trick is, if you have it on VHS just throw away tape 1 and just watch the battle - they did do a good job re-creating that.

I thought about this one but wasn't sure if I should include it as a war movie - definitely one of the best movies ever made. I saw the movie when I was visiting family in Detroit - I have never in my life seen a movie have such a powerful effect on an audience - when the movie ended there was hardly a dry eye in the house and instead of the usual chatter like there is when people leave a theatre, there was dead silence and most people were looking at the ground and not making eye contact. A definite must-see! Braveheart is a good choice too.

And I have no ulterior reason to not like him, it's not as if any of those crappy movies were on my list that I liked.....it was Rkiivs who said Braveheart.
Tis true, it was me. Based on your response LBJ I'm not even going to take a peek at the link that was supplied to this Maddox person and I'm probably no lesser of a person for it.
stomperrob, I took liberty with the definition of "war" and included Schindler's List. Glad to see that you liked it.
Alot of good war movies mentioned...my favorite would have to be Full Metal Jacket...
Saving Private Ryan comes in a close second...but a couple I am supprised no one mentioned A Bridge to Far....definately a great one... ...and Heartbreak Ridge....

Agreed....Pearl Harbor sucked. How about:
