Best "war"movies

[Junior_357]

Full Metal Jacket is probably one of my favorite movies of all time.

This...

The Big Red One

Got nothing else...don't watch too many war movies, truthfully.

But I will watch FMJ any time it is on...I even have it recorded on my DVR.

"To Hell and Back"

Audie Murphy playing Audie Murphy. I have turned this movie on to so many guys younger than me. They always rush out and buy it.

"The Big Red One" is also a gem.

Stripes, Blackhawk Down, 300.

300 is based on the book gates of fire. It's one of the best books I've ever read. Gets into real detail of their training, and the battles. I read some place it is required reading at west point.
