Dude, I just downloaded TORA! TORA! TORA! in torrentz.com! It's nice actually but you don't have to flake some money if you can actually download it! But still that's brand new. I'd rather have that than this DvD I burned. hehehe.... smile3.gif

Wow! I've watched all those movies you just mentioned above! (Well, actually my father does. I just tag along!) For you I'd recommend Pearl Harbor, Behind Enemy Lines (and it's sequel), and maybe the fictional Tropic Thunder just released by aXXo.
Kaotik
some good ones listed, but no love for enemy at the gates?

i'm looking forward to passchendaele (or however it's spelt) looks a bit too much of a love story, but it looks like they got that war feel in the war parts.

dEVIANT
Bridge over the River Kwoi, Dambusters, Tora Tora Tora, The Great Escape, Zulu, Black Hawk Down, Battle of Midway.

I agree 'Downfall' is an excellent film and one that should be watched by all who have an interest in history. Been looking for a decent d/l of it for a while but haven't been successful. I would also recommend 'We Were Soldiers', 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Tears of the Sun' and, for a laugh, 'Tropic Thunder'. saevilw.gif
shinobee
Band of Brothers, Generation Kill
locolita28
saving private ryan, i love the tear jerkers!
adyopo
I'm surprised, what about Where Eagles Dare or For Who The Bell Tolls? Those are my two options that I highly recommend to anyone who likes war movies, they have everything you need to see in a war movie.
kunalkanan
For me Enemy at the gates and saving pravite ryan ............
KryptoHero
I always liked war movies also, one of my favorites is probably "Saving Private Ryan". Tom Hanks is great in everything he does. I just watched "Flags of Our Fathers" last night, it was decent. Nowhere near one of the best though.

Iraq for Sale, a bit dramatic from the contractors point of view but true none the less

Pearl harbour?

truely a very poor war movie, watch the pianist (very sad) saving prvate ryan has to be one of the most gripping d-day re-anactments ever,
but thers so meny good ones, nobodys mentiond the big red one or catch 22, satlangrad, the great escape, the longest day, a bridge too far, etc. etc.

Well ok Pearl Harbor may not be as much a warmovie as others (its genre on imdb is as action/romance/war) but still very well made. And the director Michael Bay is a respected name in my oppinion.

Apocalypse Now has to be one of my favs imho it's a movie that dosen't seem to age and I enjoy it every time I see it
prety_brwn_eyez
All Quiet on the Western Front
Hotel Rowanda
Empire of the Sun
Battle for Haditha
Katyn
altezon




Apocalypse Now was a great movie, but I think Saving Private Ryan has it beat for realism and gritty high-contrast photography. How about Pork Chop Hill with Gregory Peck?

smile3.gif [size="3"][/size] ijust got passchendael. heres hoping they dont rip the story apart like they did pearl harbour
the boatman
All quiet on the western front. the original b/w version.

Gettysburg (when Pickett says to Lee " division sir, what division. still gives me goosebumps.)

Where eagle dare.

Schindlers list ( O.K not strictly a war film but very moving nontheless.)
