The twenty best war movies, according to the Torygraph

[CountDeMoney]

BHD.

WTF, CdM; Breaker's a no-go, but PoG is a war movie?

I considered that question for quite some time, and decided that yes, it is, but barely.  Had a bit more combat in it. Not much more, but a bit.

And besides, tired of people bitching about my definitions of war flick versus court room drama.

I'd vote for PoG as a war flick, if it was presented as a real alternative (to, say, Platoon).

Now I'm lost.  What are we supposed to be voting on now?  Is there even a current nominee?

If not, I'll nominate Kelly's Heroes over Ice Cold in Alex, assuming that Ice Cold in Alex is even still on the list.

Can't do that until the issue of In Harm's Way to replace The Dam Busters is resolved or dies from lack of interest.  We cannot have multiple choices floating at the same time.

The thing is, we have had multiple choices floating at the same time, repeatedly, in this thread--which is the cause of my confusion.

The source of your confusion is people who iignore the rules.

Just vote on the current proposal and, when it passes or fails, introduce your own.

This isn't rocket science.  Ensign Yi laid out the rules pretty clearly at the start, and the only mod so far is five votes rather than seven.

[Cerr]

It's 1 for PoG and 5 for Black Hawk Down.

I don't think PoG will get enough votes, I'll withdraw my nomination if someone wants to make another nomination.

Nuclear war flicks are their own genre.

Speaking of nuke flicks, I caught Panic in Year Zero from 1962. Pretty dark for a flick from '62 on the effect on a family right after the nukes fly.

Got it in a double bill with the Last Man on Earth (Vincent Price in the first I am Legend adaptation).
Not bad, not bad at all. Recommended for all survivalist fans

Ran is shallow and boring as fuck and the wig is too silly. Go rewatch Kagemusha instead.

Brain, is 'Kagemusha' one of your favourite films?

Since someone has dug up this thread...

The film also depicts the love triangle between the Admiral, his wife, and the poet Anna Timiryova.

I now understand what it is named best "war" movie and why Pearl Harbor is also on the list.

It's been 15 years since the original post. 

Have any movies come out in that time that deserve to go on the list?

[Norgy]

Nope.
"Narvik" of Norwegian origin really does not cut it.

It's not a new movie but there was a 2017 restoration and cinematic release which was when I first saw it - so Come and See. Extraordinary, horrifying film.

I think Dunkirk is very strong. Maybe American Sniper and Beasts of No Nation?

1917?

There's the one where Wellington fought the Apaches in French cavalry uniforms.  But I'd vote down because no John Wayne saying: "you better form up a square, pilgrim"
