A Bridge Too Far

Tora! Tora! Tora!

Band of Brothers (series but still awesome none the less)

The Great Escape (Steve Mother Fucking McQueen)

The Thin Red Line

Gallipoli

Pearl Harbor OBVIOUSLY... Just kidding.

Plenty more but those stand out in my mind especially A Bridge Too Far, such an amazing movie.



Oh and the one where Christian Bale plays Vietnam POW Deter Dengler, I can't recall the title but it's an amazing movie as well.

Full Metal Jacket also.
Then there's another movie about group of guys that take a Vietnamese girl prisoner for no reason, and one guy tries to help her escape. Can't remember the name of it right now.

Why does everyone always say Full Metal Jacket? That movie fucking sucked after Leonard killed Hartman. The whole movie fell apart. I feel like most of you are just saying it to sound cool because it's a "classic," and haven't actually even seen it.
