Although I'm a pacifist rather than this whole army thing I just love war movies, especially those about WWII as they show an important and interesting piece of history.
I just got through the whole BAND OF BROTHERS for like 5th time and it's still my fav one. I'm excited about THE PACIFIC, a similar series but, as you may easily guess, about the war on the pacific.
What about you? Do you like war movies? If so which one?
oo - I like war movies.
They always fuck with my mind afterwards..
favourites?
well, The Pianist, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now..
Yeah Band of Brothers is awesome especially if you play Call of Duty.
I'm also a big WW2 fanatic.
Cross of Iron and Der Untergang (Downfall) would be my two favs.

same here.
I also really liked Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and Black Hawk Down
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Enemy At The Gates (even though it's pretty naive)
and the title of the movie I don't remember; about Russian soldiers in Afghanistan
Schindler's List, Apocalypse Now (theatrical cut), Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down, Rescue Me...

I'm not a big fan of war movies but I got to say Full Metal Jacket is my favourite. Love this movie.

hahaha! awesome. which movie was his "inspiration" for Star Wars??

VALKYRIE was good.
I just found out about this thread recently, and I've been a fan of war movies since before i can remember. Probably stretches back into my past life/lives, but I won't go into that in this thread, or any thread for that matter lol...
Anywho, I think I've seen every war movie mentioned in this thread. But, like the creator/first poster of this thread, I am also kindof pacifistic. lol :P
