What in your opinion is the best war movie ever made?

@MrsNesbitt agreed

@MrsNesbitt I second that.

@Muskie78 The original? The new one sucks.

Agree. So disappointing @Success

@FreeSpirit1 another great one

@FreeSpirit1
Do you know that the producers didn't want to use the lyrics that British soldiers actually sang to the Colonel Bogey March tune during the war?

@Dlrannie Thank you. The events in the film occurred in 1901 and 1902.

@Byron8by7 Fair point 🙂

@Dlrannie @Byron8by7 War is ugly and beisdes it was in another country. Always go with the Fog of war

@dancingtongue A personal fave, watched it on Monday.

@Harriet03 😂😂

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout good one

@Dlrannie great choices.

@Dlrannie For some reason I don't think of Lawrence of Arabia as a war movie although it obviously is. I consider it the greatest movie of all time, so I guess it tops Patton for me.

@dancingtongue Love Patton.

@Peaches That was a great one. It tore my heart out.

@PhoenixPhail Mine too! 😢I cried my head off!!!

@SW-User Very much an anti war war film if I remember correctly

@Dlrannie Yes!! Best war films tend to be anti-war. :)

@gurlwatcher22 Great one

@JustLikeGreta Sellers.

@NankerPhelge I know u love to find errors in spelling.

@JustLikeGreta I wasn't even looking for errors, that one just stood out like a wishing well in the middle of a desert. I remember Peter Sellers when I was a kid and I always knew how to spell his name. Besides, would you like it if someone spelled your name wrong? (The fact that Peter Sellers is dead notwithstanding).

There’s so many good ones ...

@JustLikeGreta
It had Lee Marvin and Mark Hamil..
About the first infantry division in world war two

@SW-User OKay, always liked Lee Marvin. My Dad was in the infantry in WW2. I will look for that movie, thanks.

@SW-User Written by a vet of the action depicted.

@melbeacher Great movie.

@JustLikeGreta I agree !

@JustLikeGreta How can I forget Pride of the marines, but it really is more than a war movie, it's a chick flick :)

@therighttothink50 haha as is Operation Petticoat.....pink submarine and all.

@JustLikeGreta “ Dont go in the ocean there are women eating sharks in there” loved Tony C!

@sometimeslonelytoo yes

@SW-User Too Funny -

@SatyrService Too many to list all of them.

@melbeacher Great films, every one.

@Byron8by7 Indeed. Classics

Good one... forgot BHD@Byron8by7

Many things wrong with "Sink the Bismarck."

Admiral Lutjens wasn't an ardent Nazi, for one. In fact, he refused to give the Nazi salute. And in 1938 he was one of a mere handful of naval flag officers who protested in writing to the Commander-in-Chief of the navy, Admiral Raeder, of the anti-Jewish Kristallnacht pogroms.

The Bismarck didn't sink any British destoyers during those atatcks.

The Bismarck did fire on HMS Sheffield, when the shadowing cruiser got in too close.

Captain Jonathan Shepard, the RN officer who planned the tracking down and destruction of the Bismarck (played by Kenneth More), is a fictional character.

There are plenty more errors in the film, both inaccuracies and omissions.

The cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk, as well as the damaged battleship Prince of Wales, continued to shadow Bismarck to the end. In fact, Norfolk was brought into the final battle.

There's a lot that the film got right, too. And it certainly captured the determination of the British to track down and "Sink the Bismarck" in the aftermath of Hood's sinking.

It would be nice to see a remake that corrects the errors, portrays Lutjens correctly and includes a few things that weren't known at the time when the film was produced (such as that an American was in the Catalina - we were neutral at the time) and how the British had broken the German naval code.

@PhoenixPhail That was a wicked movie.

@bhatjc It was my father's favorite war movie. That's how I got acquainted with it.

Since I abhor war and the insanity therein, I really don't care to watch war movies. I'm more into good sci-fi, drama, romance and comedy.

@PhoenixPhail All are good. I like the movie because,it was a comando style raide taking out a bigger force. They even made a another movie. "return to navarone"

@GrayGhost 👍

@LadyTDurden lol. Its me John.

@smileylovesgaming Also a good one.

@YoungDawg66 I remember nothing ....except the last scene! Won’t spoil it!

@WizardOfAahs not a war movie, though Harry and Sally do fight a lot.

Are you sure? What about the scene where Sally shoots the black hawk down and Harry is like... “I got skinnies on the roof”. And then Sally is like “All you Americans lead dull uninteresting lives”. @JustLikeGreta

@bowman81 Wow, how fascinating.

@Femmm good one.

@SW-User oh good one!
Gallipoli made me cry

@SatyrService Gotta see that one sometime!!

@SW-User realy is a heartbreaking tale of noble men sent to death by ignoble lords. from Australia

@SW-User

Ever notice how much Sean Connery looked like the actual Major-General Roy Urquhart?

@PotPrincess1 tell me your choice

@Paradiddle interesting choice
