Grew up on Platoon. Some of the others are better but that one holds a special place for me.

Platoon. I havent seen apocalypse now in a while though.

This whole scene is way I didn’t want to go to war

 

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

Platoon. I havent seen apocalypse now in a while though.

I've watched it twice in the last 4 months or so. I think the theatrical version is the best to see it. I have all 3 versions thanks to Jackie boy. The redux version, which I'm currently watching is the longest version of the movie. I can see why people say the plantation scene kind of slows the film down. It's good but wasn't needed.
I'm gonna watch the final cut sometime this year.

Hard to beat Saving Private Ryan for me

Not on the list but I thought Enemy at the Gates was fantastic

Platoon. I havent seen apocalypse now in a while though.

Same, I’ll watch it tonight

 

[ScarfaceJr]

tbh I've only seen FMJ.

Not too big into war movies (while Battlefield is one of my most played games).

I know the story of Apocalypse Now because of this game Spec ops the line.

 

[Natural Order]

Apocalypse Now is so good. Hard to say which is best but it's probably my favourite.

 

[Natural Order]

Thin Red Line is also fantastic and generally quite underrated.

We Were Soldiers also deserves a mention.

I’ve seen Schindler’s List for the first time just last month. Absolutely splendid film.

As for the rest, SPR and Platoon are tied as the GOAT war films imo. Apocalypse always puts me to sleep. FMJ is too dramatic for me.

As side from the others mentioned already, I haven’t seen a decent war film since Eastwood’s Flags and Letters.
