What is your all-time favorite military movie?

[snoop]

If Saving Private Ryan didn't have the beach storming opening, will it still be #1 for some people?

The final battle is a good one too. It's just so real.

Unbelievable movie. One of all time great. I need to buy a blue-ray version of it.

Blackhawk Down, Patton, Cain Muntiny and a reach for military movies catagory...Mr Roberts

Saving Private Ryan for me. The first 25 minutes is the most intense cinematic experience I have ever had. When it was in theaters, I went back to watch it 7 times.

8 times in the theater? Dang...


I think the only movie I saw more than once in a theater was Braveheart, which I saw 3 times in the theater.

 

[BAGIANT]

PATTON for me. Just saw it last week.

 

[1cheater]

Saving Private Ryan was amazing. I think the thing that makes a great movie is when you forget your watching a movie.

Young Frankenstein at least ten times and of course Rocky Horror somewhere near 100

 

[Kettch]

Patton. The opening scene is just soooooo awesome.

 

[CujoLatte]

Boys in company C. IMO the best war movie by far! I did not read the whole thread but has anyone said this movie yet?

 

[gmenknicks]

Jarhead

By far the most realistic military movie you will ever see

 

[ImGamblin'Again!]

I expected a lot more out of We Were Soldiers

Thought that movie was awful awful

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Thought that movie was awful awful

Tell me about it. With that cast you would have thought it would pull at your emotions more. Doesn't come close to any of the other titles mentioned in this thread.

Jarhead

This is not me stating a fact but I've read numerous military people's quotes that at least for the time...the first half of Full Metal Jacket is SPOT on. It helps that R. Lee Emery was a real Gunnery Sargeant.
