So many to choose from.


I say overall for me it's

Would you consider Schindler's List a war movie?

It wouldn't top Apocalypse Now. However if Im making a list ( and I probably will later when I have some time to put some though into it), Schindler's List is a good example to us to separate War movies from the not quite War movies

Maybe I'll do two lists. War movies and Not Quite War movies lol

A Bridge Too Far is still one of my all-time favorites.

Can't pick one as that is one of my top two genres. Saving Private Ryan, The Great Escape, We Were Soldiers, The Thin Red Line and Hacksaw Ridge are great and address different views of war and courage.

Best Naval war film I've seen is Greyhound on Apple TV+, that film put me right in the middle of it.

I have it as my #1 movie overall. I feel its a better film than Citizen Kane.

Really enjoyed Greyhound. Would have loved to be able to see it in the theaters. I went on bit of a Naval kick after that. Wished Midway wasnt so terrible

Yep, I thought Midway would be better than the original but it wasn't.

It almost felt like a true sequel to Pearl Harbor lol. Ed Skrein and Mandy Moore were both competing unwatchable.

The dive bombing scenes were pretty cool though

I consider Midway (2019) one of the best war movies I've ever seen. Why didn't y'all like it?

For me, it was acting.

When they showed up and stared pounding on their shields with spears, chill bumps.
