Henry V (Branagh version)
Patton - one of the best individual performances of all time.
SPR - gets second place. the photography technology advacements showing the horrors of war is its chief accomplishment.
having been to war, i evaluate so-called war movies relative to reality.
My husband, the war-movie fan, can watch "Midway," "Tora Tora Tora" and "No Man is an Island" over and over and over. And then there's the heart-stopper: "Platoon." I'm particularly fond of "Patton" because my dad fought in WWII.
Don't forget "Laurel & Hardy Join the Foreign Legion!"
Man, you try to have a serious discussion...
Full Metal Jacket...wonderful film
The Thin Red Line
