One of the greatest movies of all times.

I figured that was the case as I was watching it in the theater.
Such great movies already named. But I haven’t seen anyone post “M*A*S*H” or “Casablanca” ...So I’ll add them.
That’s what ruined The Winds of War/War and Remembrance, a lot of excellent material, but also a lot of needless soap-opera plots as well.
Yeah, kinda took away from the movie for me too.
Black Hawk Down was an outstanding movie .
Finally Blackhawk Down. Absolutely fantastic movie, made you feel like you were there in that sweaty sh!thole country with the American forces.
One of the greatest movies of all times.
Band of Brothers
The Great Escape
Back to Bataan with John Wayne and Anthony Quinn
Objective Burma with Errol Flynn
Sands of Iwo Jima with John Wayne and Forrest Tucker
Was waiting for that one to pop up.
Interesting how few of the above, if any, are related to the Civil War. I’d put Glory on the list as a good one.
Wow, it took to #49 to get to “They Shall Not Grow Old.” That was my vote, too. The most amazing war movie ever.
Another great war movie is “A Very Long Engagement.” It’s very unconventional, but so well done. It’s a love story, a mystery, a war movie, and a moral statement about the futility of war all in one.
“The opening of Patton is still a classic.”
Yes, just an amazing, unconventional opening, isn’t it?
I’m not going to click it (I think this may have been posted a year or so ago) but “The Big Red One”, followed by “Patton”. And with the proviso that Hollywood makes movies, not documentaries. Thanks dynachrome.

The Admiral Roaring Current Events a South Korean Naval War Movie on the historical battle of Meyeongnyang is another fantastic movie.
I swear I went back and saw that movie about 5 times. I don’t know why, it really captured my imagination.
The 1960 “The Alamo” with John Wayne is spectacular. There is a trailer (as I recall) about the making of The Alamo. It’s quite a story of how Wayne took it on as a personal mission. They shot 560,000 feet of film for 566 scenes!
Sand Pebbles is another one I’ve seen over and over, over the years, I love that movie.
