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

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

“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.

“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.

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.)
