Took place in the Vietnam War when Hitler was doing his shenanigans.

Neeson, Kingsley, and these other actors bring a tear to my eye in this scene.



Same goes for the final sequence where actual survivors visit Schindler’s gravesite.

Great movie. My kids high school has this as mandatory viewing during the Holocaust remembrance. Then they have a guest speaker who was in a concentration camp speak to them after. Very moving.
 
Starship Troopers, Spartacus and 300???

Well in that case I'll add Avengers Infinity War and Lord of the Rings.


But if we're talking about war in the conventional sense, then off the top of my head,
Saving Private Ryan
Enemy at the Gates
Black Hawk Down
I'd put gladiator in there over 300, also last samurai
 
Tough to pick three but from the list: Platoon, The Thin Red Line, Full Metal Jacket.

The Thin Red Line gets overshadowed but it's one of the best war movies imho.
 
I don't think that Schindler's List really qualifies as a war film. The movie takes place when a war is going on but it's more of a Holocaust movie. War movie implies people fighting each other in battle.
 
SPR x3

SPR is one of about 3 movies I watch once a year, every single year, until the day I die.

1993 ‧ War/Drama ‧ 3h 17m
 
I was at my boss' house when we watched Platoon, he ripped the fuck out of me because I was all "how can you like this?" in floods of tears. I love it now.

Ingourios Basterds though, and that Spartacus bastard.
 
1918
Hacksaw Ridge
Full Metal Jacket


Also, a lot of those aren't really war movies.
