The Great Escape (Bronson, McQueen, Coburn) is also one of my favorites. Am also a fan of submarine movies and I don’t think any top Das Boot, I kept forgetting they were the other side (and the ending, didn’t see that coming).

I don’t know about ‘Bank of Brothers’ but Band of Brothers is awesome.

I don’t know much about war movies, but a top 10 without ‘Patton’ seems... broke.

Battle of the Bulge

Dreadful filmmaking. Simply laughable.
