It has to be movies that have at least some full combat fighting in them.

And I only added films that IMDB considered as war genres. As you can see in the link above.

 

[Genki Sudo II]

The Thin Red Line my personal fav if Born on the 4th of July isn't considered a war movie.

IMDB included Legends of the Fall...... really?

I've never met anyone who didn't think TRL was boring lol

Don't care what your criteria is. Band of Brothers is just a long ass movie, and is the greatest.

Also Apocalypse Now is not a war movie. It's taking the book Heart of Darkness which took place in Africa and dropping it into Vietnam and adding some drugs. It's a terrible movie.

That is also a great movie.

Born on the 4th of July has to be considered a war movie.... It is very under rated.

Gotta be platoon

Gotta be platoon

Best line in the movie

Sgt. Barnes: Y'all take a good look at this lump of shit. Remember what it looks like. You fuck up in a firefight and I goddamn guarantee you a trip out of the bush in a body bag! Out here, assholes, you keep your shit wired tight at all times!
[to Taylor]
Sgt. Barnes: And that goes for you, shit-for-brains. You don't sleep on no fucking ambush!
[to Junior]
Sgt. Barnes: And the next son of a bitch I catch copping "Z"s in the bush, I'm personally gonna take an interest in seeing him suffer. I shit you not. Doc, tag him and bag him.

SPR, it's the least cartoonish.
If it counts, and it does in my book, Zero Dark Thirty.
Hurt Locker was also good but a bit cartoonish.

 

[bref]

Full Metal Jacket by a decent margin for me.

I wish I could make it through that film. I've tried a couple of times but the lack of character development kills it for me.

Starship troopers and it's not even close.

Really? Damn man. SO boring.

 

[Kalmah]

I fucking love Platoon

I don't know about that. What bugs me about that movie is the end. Hanks shows up to take Damon out of there and he refuses.

A Captain telling a Private to get his shit and go would not be disobeyed like that.

Other than that which is a huge plot hole its a great movie.

Starship troopers and it's not even close.

Do you want to know more?
The book is vastly superior.
