The subject says it all. "What's your favorite war movie?". Or make a Top Three War Movie/Series list (any number up to .... 20), if you don't know. Pre/Post WWII counts too. Thank you.

Band of Brothers Saving Private Ryan Enemy at the Gates don't know if this counts, but it has a war in it, Across the Universe, has vietnam in it. It sure does. Everyone - Post-/pre WWII movies DOES count. But it seems like you've found out already. |

ah, mediterraneo is very good! I don't recall any battle scenes though, which was a bit of an upset, but it is a very good story none-the-less. My favorite part is where they are playing soccer on the beach and the plane lands on the field and they learn that the war is over.

i know its a musical, and maybe its my feminine side showing, but has anybody seen across the universe? it has a lot of beatles music in it, and if you like vietnam, you'll love this movie. its not about the battles in vietnam, but how some people tried to dodge the draft, but had to go in anyway. it deals a lot with the hippie scene, which i am a part of. yeah, yeah, i'm a hippie, but hey, its all for the better! ;D

These are all classics.
A walk in the sun

Das boot
M*A*S*H isn't a movie though just a TV series. I enjoyed the Bridge over the River Kwai though.
Attack is a good one. They have it for free on IMDB.
