    So wait, you made a pole about war movies and didn't include The Deer Hunter?


    Good movie, but too long and slow to be the best.
    I wouldn't expect an Asian to have The Deer Hunter on their list of faves.
    Some Deers look like Dogs from a distance.

    Apocalypse may not be the best but it was the first of the new way of making war movies

    Appropriately enough, this 2 may not have been the best, but it was the first.

    Not entirely a war movie but 13 Hours was solid.

    Other recent war on terror movies weren’t as great. I fucking hated the Hurt Locker.

    Zero Dark Thirty was ok.

    Green Zone is kind of a bullshit story but realistic of what Baghdad was like in mid-03

    I enjoyed American Sniper and loved Lone Survivor.

    Voted Gettysburg, simply for the fact that it accomplished the feat of showing the entire battle from start to finish. It really provides a different experience from all the other movies on the list that follow characters or units around from battle to battle. Gettysburg is a unique experience and the flow and drama of the movie is genuine, like how you see the Union react after defending Little Round Top and then you see the Confederates trying to recover from their defeat.

    Great observation here. They really stayed on script start to finish with the battle. I love Sam Elliott securing the "high ground" for the Union.
