We are about to engage in a months long marathon of non-documentary war-related movies. I'm not sitting through "Gone With the Wind," "Lawrence of Arabia," or "Ben-Hur" again. Mostly not looking for anything made before the 60s, stuff not in English, or Star Wars. [i]What am I missing?[/i]

In no particular order...

Gangs of New York
Black Hawk Down
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Flags of Our Fathers
Letters from Iwo Jima
300
Lord of the Rings 1-3
Good Morning, Vietnam
The Thin Red Line
Patton
MASH
Saving Private Ryan
1776
Good Night, and Good Luck
The Crossing
Forrest Gump
Jacob's Ladder
Dr. Strangelove
Glory
Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Schindler's List
Inglourious Basterds
Pan's Labyrinth
Spartacus
Canadian Bacon
Gladiator
The Empire of the Sun
Hotel Rwanda
The English Patient
Persepolis
Seven Years in Tibet
The Killing fields
Miracle at St Anna
Legends of the Fall
Starship Troopers
MacArthur
Midway
Kelly's Heroes
Memphis Belle
Courage Under Fire
A Midnight Clear
Three Kings
Heartbreak Ridge
Jarhead
Ride with the Devil
Stripes
Tropic Thunder

Actually, the real question is, why am I expecting helpful answers from you people?

Inglourious Basterds

Pan's Labyrinth (In Spanish, but it's about the Spanish Civil War)

Spartacus (right before Strangelove, I think)

Canadian Bacon


These I've personally seen.

Gladiator.

Does Lord Of The Flies count? FAC use to remind me of that movie back in the good old Blad days.

I can't think of anything else right now...

Added.


I wouldn't say Lord of the Flies is a war movie. Do you mean the first or the second one? I've seen the old one before (back in school). Was alright.



THREE HUNDRED NAKED MUSCULAR MEN HAVE BEEN WATCHED. *manly grunting*

Braveheart

Monthy Python and the Holy Grail

The Counterfeiters (Die Fälscher) - German movie, about Jewish counterfeiters in concentration camps forced to counterfeit British pound and American dollar during the late stages of WWII, true story.

The Pianist (lol, Roman Polanski)

The Patriot (lol, Heath Ledger)

Hotel Rwanda

Enemy at the Gates - The only genuinely pro-Soviet WWII movie I've seen.

The Reds - The only genuinely pro-Soviet October Revolution movie I've seen.

The Empire of the Sun (lol, Christian Bale)

The English patient

The Tin Drum - Another German movie, banned in Oklahoma, based on a book that I own that I can never get through BECAUSE IT'S TOO LONG.

Persepolis (not the second one, the first one deals with Iran-Iraq war)

Seven Years in Tibet (Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959)

The Killing fields (Third Indochina war)

Au revoir les enfants - French movie, on WWII









Suicidal level:

War and Peace, Russian, extremely rare, 8 hours.

The Birth of a nation, American, 1915, 3 hours.

The Patriot was an awful awful movie. OTZ

I've actually seen Birth of a Nation, but in fast forward, 'cause it was silent anyway.

What's up with all the surprisingly helpful responses?


List updated. Some things were left out because they didn't sound interesting, I've seen them recently, I've seen them too many times (Casablanca, Monty Python), or they were just really, really dull the first time around. Like Tora! Tora! Tora! Seriously. People like that movie?
