Have beer and popcorn II... Memorial Day thread. What's the best war movie???

[TheBladeMaster]

Watched the documentary, Restrepo last night. Not the easiest to watch, but that's the point... Very well done.

Very moving.

Also there is a new movie that not many people know about called Lebanon: War is Hell. If you liked the movie das boot, this is like das boot in a tank.

Band of Brothers
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket

And an excellent one that I don't think has been mentioned yet:
A Midnight Clear http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midnight_Clear
I wasn't the only one who left the theater in tears.

Breaker Morant and Gallipoli are my vote but my whole family still lives down under

Gavin:

I just read the Peter Fitzsimons book "Kokoda.". You Australians sure kicked some imperial Japanese heinie back in WWII. And though I haven't seen it, I suspect that the 2006 movie, "Kokoda" is pretty good.

I am watching it right now. It is good. Did you happen to notice at one point they danced to a Günther song?
