Suggest some "war" movies

Pretty much the title.

I have seen the usual ones,

Saving Private Ryan, Windtalkers, We Were Soldiers, Tears of the Sun... is there any other good movies that are similar to these?

I kinda felt in the mood to watch some recently, but not sure whats good and whats not...

Yup, gotta vouch for that if you have not seen it, though you probably have, If you like/love saving private Ryan, this is a much more deep, brilliant series which is basically 10 hours of Saving Private Ryan, with the same high quality production. I'd actually prefer to sit through a few episoes of Band of Brothers than watch Saving Private Ryan, and SPR is one of my all time favourite films.

TBH mate, I missed Band Of Brothers... I will order the DVD of it I think

MT, I have only seen a few of those movies you mentioned... I tried to watch full metal jacket once, and didnt like it to much

Jarhead is a good call actually, and has a great musical score.

Apoc. Now the greatest war film of all time? You must be joking

Not seen Apoc.

Jarhead though I completely forgot about, I was seeing it down HMV all the time and it looked very tempting, but I just never picked it up... I might see if I can get it in a sale or something

That's the one.

What's it like? I've always fancied watching it.

I have seen that film a few years ago, it was an awesome movie TBH. Well worth watching if you can get it

Woohooo! a friend of mine actually has Band Of Brothers on DVD and he will lend it to me, I didnt realize anyone I knew had it.

I am undecided about Jarhead though...

I saw 3 kings a long while ago, on Front Row on cable, I kinda liked it.

Well at the moment I am around half way or so thru "Band Of Brothers" and so far I think its very good, but in my oppion, not quite as good as Saving Private Ryan.

What do people think of "Tears Of The Sun" and "We Were Soldiers" they are 2 of my fav movies in this genre.
