IMO, Jack Webb’s The DI is a far superior, in every way, to the S/Sgt’s FMJ!

SPR has to be the top, I havent to date seen one better or more realistic... there are lots of other good/great ones... Long Day, FMJ, but SPR is special.

Of all time? Then we're talking WWII films.
1. The Longest Day
2. 12 O'Clock High
3. 20 Seconds over Tokyo
4. And many other fine WWII films.
I never saw a Vietnam film that quite measured up, but maybe I was expecting something different. (This from a USAF vet who took part in the Vietnam war, but was never in Vietnam.)

I can’t go to the site, did Patton make the list?

On Netflix they have “The Longest Day”, but what I didn’t know was that they filmed the scenes with the foreign actors speaking English instead of in their native language, I couldn’t watch it. I’d much rather have the Germans speaking German.

Great Escape. A more appropriate choice than Schindler’s List, which is a great, powerful film but not really a war movie.

I am irreverent, I admit it.
Kelly’s Hero’s
Mash
Catch 22
Apocalypse Now
Maybe because I was a military dependent for 19 years and am married to a Viet Nam vet. I have a hard time dealing with the reality of war as entertainment.

Loved “Band of Brothers” but technically it’s not a movie. It’s television. I would add Kubrick’s “Paths of Glory” to any great war movie list.
