ORIGINAL: warspite1 Whilst not in my top 5, Do you have a war film top list? Say, a top 10, or something? The world would like to know. warspite1 Well obviously Pearl Harbor tops the list... warspite1 ...but in all seriousness I don't know, I'm sure I've cobbled together a top 5 or ten or something in the past. Times and tastes change - plus it helps if one's seen something recently as a reminder of how good/bad it was. warspite1 But I guess it would be something like: 1. Schindler's List (the best film ever made has to top the best war film category by definition). 2. Battle of Britain 3. Conspiracy (not sure if this counts as a war film - but it should be compulsory viewing for every school child). But then what? Tora, Tora, Tora, Saving Private Ryan, The Great Escape. Next bucket: Where Eagles Dare, Dam Busters, Ice Cold in Alex, A Bridge Too Far I'm bound to have forgotten something, but if not lets say: 4. Tora, Tora, Tora 5. The Great Escape 6. Saving Private Ryan 7. Where Eagles Dare 8. A Bridge Too Far 9. Dam Busters 10. Ice Cold In Alex Was Das Boot a film? I only recall seeing a series, but may have been cut down into a film. If so then that would rank highly. warspite1 And there you go - forgot one of the bestest ever No.4 Operation Daybreak - everyone else drops down one and Ice Cold loses its place.
