Would have liked to have seen, Tora,Tora,Tora, Glory, and Cross of Iron on the list. Didn’t like 300.

“The Boys of Company C” was a very underrated war flick.

A list decidedly biased toward recent movies, thereby ignoring Gone With the Wind, Sgt. York, All Quiet On The Western Front, The Longest Day, The Great Escape, Stalag 17, Casablanca, and several others that should be on a “greatest” list.

“I wonder why “We Were Soldiers” didn’t make the list....”

That's easy, Mel Gibson.

The Patriot is a great one as well. And Gettysburg.

“Breaker Morant” would definitely be in my top five.

I don’t see any of these I enjoy:

Dirty Dozen, yes, it’s very fictional but still worthy.

I’ll keep it short, obviously, there are many films that could be on there.... some foreign like Das Boot. I do agree with ‘Saving Private Ryan’ in being number one but after that, I think the list gets weak. “Great Escape”, etc. should be considered. Everyone will have their own different list. I don’t think their list is very thoughtful.

Yep - some don't care for Mel Gibson but he has put out some of the most defining movies ever to hit the screen.

Forgot about Gettysburg but it was also great.
