I think Band of Brothers was the best ever, but it might be under the category of mini-series not movie...

I know it “technically” isn’t a war movie in that sense, but my favorite (not only war movie, but all movies) is “The Best Years of Our Lives”.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo

The Caine Mutiny

Twelve O’Clock High

Saving Private Ryan

Downfall

Das Boot

The Sand Pebbles

Gladiator

The Bedford Incident

Note: Apocalypse Now is what I would call a “Guilty Pleasure”. I know it is written and produced by liberals...I know Martin Sheen is an liberal anti-war douchebag of the Code Pink variety, and I know the movie is a parody of the stereotypes of the Vietnam War, but...there are a lot of scenes from that movie that I really enjoyed...”Don’t get out of the boat”...”Charlie Don’t Surf”, etc. Like Platoon, I can’t put it on my list, but...there were parts that I found funny and memorable from both of them.

And I have always enjoyed Dr. Strangelove, but I have never been able to view it as a war movie...Any movie based on comedy can’t really make it onto that list for me.
