Forums → Popular Media → Dude what war movies are the best?

Wow, this is an old thread. I posted on this thread back in September of '10.

I've watched a few more since then and The Dirty Dozen, The Big Red One and Hamburger Hill are all good classic war movies.

Funfact, but this was Saddam Hussein's favorite movie, he would watch it while he executed people. o.O

Hmm... I'd like to know where you people find information like this. You just type this stuff into google? o.O

every award winning Israeli movie ever... we are great at making those... being in war all the time...


Vals im Bashir (you may call it vals with bashir) is the greatest really.. great animation, real story of war trauma and just a great movie...
