The twenty best war movies, according to the Torygraph

[Sophie Scholl]

Anyone seen that Koren movie about the Korean War; Brotherhood I believe it was called?

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War.  No.  I want to though.  I saw it at Blockbuster a few times.

[Fate]

Although it was a 7-part miniseries, Generation Kill was excellent.

As was BoB.

[timmah] Why isn't Letters from Iwo Jima on that list?  [/timmah]

[Darth Wagtaros]

Kelly's Heroes should be on there.

Been sitting on my shelf for a year. I just haven't got around to watching it.

[Alatriste]

A friend of mine has lent me Tae Guk Gi... and Gallipoli too. I'm interested in both, but I wonder why I have forgotten everything about Gallipoli except the final race against the clock, with the music of J.M. Jarre IIRC...

We could make a Languish list of great war movies.

I was thinking of assigning up to 5 votes per Languishite and up to 5 negative votes, i.e. war movies we absolutely hate. What do you think?

I was thinking about something like that too.

Maybe at firs we ought to narrow the playing field by having nominations and seconds until we get a list of 30 or 40 and then we vote on those movies.

How about this:

Start with the Torygraph list, then do a ladder.  Propose a movie not on the list, match it up against one on the list.  Vote.  If the challenger wins you have a new list.  Rinse, repeat.

I watched Die Brucke last night (it's been decades I think) and it holds up. The bridge fight scene seems to have been a strong influence on the bridge fight scene of Private Ryan. But without the happybittersweetending. It's just bitter.

Anyone seen that Koren movie about the Korean War; Brotherhood I believe it was called?

Yeah, I saw that a couple years ago now, I guess it was.  It wasn't too bad at all, from what I remember.  I never got around to buying it though, for what that's worth.

basically a very graphic melodrama. well done but very predictable story about two brothers who start on the same side but wind up as opponents. it's ok, but not great.

Too much rinsing and repeating to be viable.

Did anyone consider Castle Keep?

You should ALWAYS rinse and repeat.  ALWAYS.
