    Can we count The Great Escape?

    Yes. POW camp movies during war time are fair game. It's in the pole. Plus, Steve McQueen is sexy as hell. WOOD.

    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.


    Flame away, do NOT like Top Gun.

















    I feel like I hardly know Grundle anymore.

    Nor do I. Way too much gay undertone. In what movie did Tarantino go on that rant about Top Gun being all about fags? "...you can fuck my ass any time.". "Bullshit. You can fuck mine.". That was pretty damn funny.

    Why do you hate the Navy you commie bastard?!?


    I like those Navy boys. Every time we have to go fight a war, they always give us a ride.

    Think they've been out of spare parts for a decade.
    Good. FTGs.
    Sadly, I was wrong. Apparently still flying 40 of them.
