I'm torn between 13hrs and Act of Valor.
SPR and WWS get accolades but they're just not as "real" to me as the aforementioned. |
|
Act of Valor has some incredible cinematography.
My fav? Too many. |
|
Blackhawk Down. Also a great book.
If miniseries count then Band Of Brothers. Also a great book. |
|
Any of the mega WWII movies from the 60's/70's. Battle of Britain, Longest Day, Tora, Tora, Tora etc.

Too many to list here:
Saving Private Ryan She Wore a Yellow Ribbon All Quiet on the Western Front (the original) March or Die Gettysburg Sgt. York The Sands of Iwo Jima The Beast The Red Badge of Courage To Hell and Back The White Feather (the original) Zulu 55 Days at Peking Khartoum etc... |

According to GD the best military movie is Battleship
So many classic WW2 and modern movies it's hard to choose a favorite. For newer movies - SPR, BHD, Battle Los Angeles. 13 Hours was a good movie, does it technically count as a military movie though? |

Dr. Strangelove, if it counts.
The Hunt for Red October Das Boot Kelly’s Heroes |

The Longest Day - Harbour |

Von Ryan's Express, which I saw when I was 10, 1965. Also Patton, which I saw when I was 15 or 16. Enjoyed them both very much.

Midway
Midway got me started in this whole history thing, led to so much enjoyment reading books, building models as a kid, airshows, historical firearms just everything. I was spellbound as a small kid right from the start watching that opening B-25 scene from 30 Seconds Over Tokyo.. will always be a special movie to me |
|
View Quote that is such a cool scene, the perspective from that 20mm on the casino roof was amazing to see as a kid.. |
|
The Battle of the Bulge
The Green Berets Fort Apache The longest day Do you see a pattern emerging |
|
Too many to choose from, but one that is seldom mentioned is "In Harm's Way".
As for a TV series, "Victory At Sea". |
|
Platoon....Apocalypse now a close 2nd.
Act of Valor. View Quote If you like a propaganda recruitment movie.... |
|
I'll add:
We Were Soldiers Once (book is better) Where Eagles Dare Midway (the original) The Pacific series (the book that Sledge wrote is one of the best I've ever read about war, just unreal) I can't pick a favorite but A Bridge Too Far, Zulu, and Blackhawk Down are so freakin' good. Band of Brothers never gets old either. Colour Sergeant Bourne : It's a miracle. Lieutenant John Chard : If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle. Colour Sergeant Bourne : And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind. |
