    Some notable omission and/or fuck ups:

    Enemy at the Gates - Not the greatest script, but there just aren't enough good options about the Eastern Front where most of war happened.

    Master and Commander - There are some corny parts, but there's no other film out there that rivals the sea battles between sailing ships.

    Lawrence of Arabia - prolly should have made the cut here, but Peter O' Toole creeps me out much of the time.

    Kelly's Heroes - Even though it's an action/comedy, this might be my favorite WWII of all tim.

    Inglorious Bastards - I hate Tarantino sometimes, but Waltz plays the best Nazi officer ever on film.

    Braveheart - Should have clarified this was about war movies from the 1754 to the present.

    Spartacus - Slave revolts aren't really about war.

    Hunt for Red October - Cold war thrillers are not war movies.

    MASH - Race is right on this one. Terrific film.

    So you add an Honorable Mention section and still forget The Deer Hunter? I never realized tall people were dumb.

    Also, Master and Commander is the tits. HOLD FAST
    Listen, fly-boy, I think parts of that film are great but fuck any movie that tries to shoot a hunting scene in Pennsyltucky with glaciers in the background. There haven't been glaciers in PA since the last ice age. HTH.

    I LOVE Master and Commander.




    Also, Top Gun needs a nod here.


    Not technically a war movie. Still great inspite of Tom Cruise. I got to go to a private air show at Miramar as a kid once. Way kewl.

    Now only douchey Persians fly F-14s.

    If Maverick vs. Iceman isn't war, I don't know what is.
