[en]whats you favorite war movie

Gladiator isn't wonderful, merely funny. Oil-barrels in the background, digital watches, planes in the sky - funny, but definitely not wonderful. :wink:

My favorites are Otpisani (have no idea how to translate this), Battle of Kosovo (Boj na Kosovu) and Battle of Cer (Cerska bitka).

I voted for Braveheart

Other movies not on this list:

Gettysburg (with Martin Sheen as Lee): i love it...seen it at least 5 times and i always hope he'll make it. :scratch:

Tora tora tora: Best movie on Pearl Harbour.

Lords of the ring: most epic movie ever

Ran is an awesome movie for the ones who like Japan medieval times.

Glory was good bur don't remember well (so long ago) and i liked the last Samurai

Finally, don't laugh, i've enjoyed Troy a lot. :eek:

I don't like neither Gladiator nor Pearl Harbour, Saving Private Ryan because of their purely Hollywoodish style. Braveheart is great and realistic, but it's more like a nice exception. My favourites are Das Boot, Stalingrad, Talvisota, Thin Red Line, Tora! tora! tora!, Der Untergang, Schindler's list, Braveheart and maybe some more I forgot to mention.

I voted We Were Soldiers. But you missed other great ones like Battle of the Bulge, Midway, A Bridge To Far, Longest Day, just to name a few. However you did make a good list. I had a hard time voting because of it.

My favourite war movie... Hmm... "Platoon" I guess. Good movie and good music. Especially one track of its score is my favourite - Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings - truly heart-touching! Otherwise, if it's about great battle scenes - yeah, there are a lot of movies with impressive battles. But I would choose one Bulgarian movie - "681-The glory of the khan" (although I think another one - "The golden century" - could be placed beside it in that matter) and I would choose it because all of the "soldiers" there are real people, absolutely no computer effects. Actually, it's a somewhat old movie, from Communist times I think, so it's not surprising that there's no computers involved. Ah, watching thousands and thousands of real "Byzantine soldiers" marching along the hills all the way until the horizon... Then charging the fortifications and being susprised by the hidden Bulgarian horse archers. And then surprised again by the Slavs in the swamps... Sometimes I dream we start making such epic and massive historical movies once again!
