There are lots of "Zulu", "Kelly's Heroes", "Tora Tora Tora", "Stalingrad" and "Battle of Britain", which I love. I want to add three films I did not see mentioned, the first two with the great George C. Scott: - Patton. - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. And one italian film: - The Profession of Arms (Imdb) About condottieri in the Renaissance, I have yet to watch it again, but for what I remember it was stunning.

1 Band of Brothers, 2 the longest day, 3 patton. I know, [&:] Patton was no. 1 until i bought the other two. I guess all 3 are no. 1 in my book[sm=sterb020.gif]

Excellent movie, but for me no cigar as best ever. More of a CIA intel movie. I actually liked Lincoln better. quote: ORIGINAL: Curtis Lemay I can now add Zero Dark Thirty.

Since my original 2004 posting, I've gotta add a fourth choice, which is the HBO miniseries "The Pacific". The USMC of WWII gets the attention it deserves (nothwithstanding the classic "Sands of Iwo Jima"). This series has garnered mixed reviews from the wargaming community, but this is mostly due to intrinsic interest in the campaign it portrays. To this USMC fan, it serves as a perfect complement to "Band of Brothers". Granted, it covers a whole division rather than a single company, so the time period is expanded from Dec 1941 to late 1945. The DVD set is a frequently revisited part of my video collection.

Yea there was a remake can't remember the title in the 80's or 90's that naturally potrayed rod taylors character as a sadistic monster could'nt show him as a sympathetic character as in the original

I thought Pearl Harbor was a pretty decent film, and Ben Affleck was brilliant in it!

Mike Dubost -> RE: Your Top Three Best War Movies of All Time (1/31/2013 3:05:51 AM)
I can't resist putting my votes in: 1) Wings. In 1927, they didn't have CGI. Those are real planes, with cameras mounted on them flown by real stunt pilots! Also, if you think product placement is new, watch Gary Cooper's scene. 2) Glory. The other mentions say it all about this one. 3) In Harm's Way. Yeah, a bit corny some ways, but still one of my favorites for viewing around December 7th.
