Uhhh, the best war movie is Braveheart. It's not even a competition (yes, I'm aware it's a subjective statement ��

I don't know if it is the best, but it's damn good.

I feel the same way about engineering movies. I kid. Favorite nerd show 'Halt and Catch Fire' season one and half of season 2.
Overlooked war movie I mentioned a while back "A Walk In The Sun". Nobody says a thing, Dana Andrews you fools! It doesn't hold up 100% but it's cool.
Also **** Braveheart, I liked it, then I didn't like it sugar tits.
Other war movies I enjoyed.
Gettysburg
The Enemy Below
Lawrence of Arabia
Enemy at the Gates
Glory
Zulu
Fury
Kelly's Heroes (comedy disguised as a war movie)
The Great Escape (prisoners of war)
I know, every fan of the genre has seen all of these, except 'A Motherfucking Walk In The Motherfucking Sun'. Am I getting through to anyone?
Edited to add The Dirty Dozen.

Looks good, I liked the original too, the sequels got progressively worse, until they became pretty funny.
War movies, I forgot The Blue Max.

Glory is a great war movie...Denzel is fabulous and so is Morgan Freeman. Both gave captivating performances.

Approved by the Department Of Redundancies Department.
If you liked that documentary you also might like 'When Pence Becomes President'.

Gallipoli and King Rat were pretty decent and entertaining war movies that I can watch any time they are on.
I second Paths of Glory, but without the pretentiousness.
Ivan's Cildhood. A lot of very good Russian and German war movies.
Then there is La Grande Illusion, which is set during war, but is more than a war movie.

Paths Of Glory early Stanley Kubrick, before Spartacus.
I haven't seen King Rat in years. George Segal was great, this was before he played a Special person on a sitcom.

Red Cliff I & II is probably in my top 5 of all time as far as war movies. Underrated in the West because it is a Chinese film but few war movies do intrigue and strategy as well as this film IMO.
