Get a hold of Cross of Iron Danix. It is a must view for any self respecting war movie fan!!! And yes that is a great scene from Stalingrad, unfortunately, there is not enough of this sort of thing in the film. Still a great movie, but it could have been doing with a shitload more battle scenes than it has, it is about the bloodiest battle ever fought after all. I think there is still room for another film about Stalingrad and I wish to god someone would make it!!

Apocalypse now - but somewhat like a horror movie set during a war.
Fail Safe - deserves a mention for tension- a cold war movie (the serious flipside of Dr Strangelove, made same year i think)
Favourite WW2 Das Boot phaps
I agree Johnny555 I remember Cross of Iron being excellent- but been a few years for me too, must watch it again.
I will sit through and enjoy almost any war film, regardless of quality to be honest.
However though I appreciate how popular it is, I was not happy with saving private ryan.
No denying the impressive ferocity and effects of the battle scenes; and the clout of the powers that be in landing the 15 rating (UK)
I felt the rest of the film was utterly dire. I am not nitpicking about possible silly inaccuracies of equipment or unrealistic fighting etc. , for me something about this film was just wrong.
And as for the needless swipe at Monty- was Ted Danson's line something a lot of people wanted to get off their chests, and immortalise in film?

I have probably said it before, but Ken Burns 'Civil War' is imo the best war movie of all time.If documentaries count.
If you have not seen it, you are doing yourself a disservice. Rent/Buy it now.

It is nearly impossible for me to attempt to try and pick my favorite war movie. Perhaps if there was opportunity to share my top 5 picks I could limit it to that.... sadly, there is not.
1. Stalingrad
2. Das Boot
3. Hitlerjunge Salomon (not really a combat movie but some good ostfront fighting scenes are included)
4. Der rote Baron/the red baron (i can

That flick is starring T-62 (Actually T-55, see the gap between the two frontmost wheels), which has no autoloader.
