Ice-Cold in Alex is one of those movies it's impossible to say anything negative about.

Vote BoB.

There are far too many English WW2 European Theater flicks on the list.

Bang Rajan
Der Untergang
Letters from Iwo Jima

These films belong on any red blooded male's list.  :bowler:

Oh yeah.  Second Der Untergang... I don't usually think of that as a war movie, but I guess it is.

If we're gonna start talking about Jaron's penis, then this thread has ran its course.  :lmfao:

I vote ICiA over BoB (which I found ponderous and, except for the air battles, boring).  ICiA at least had interesting characters.  It probably won't stay on the Top-20 list, but shouldn't be replaced by anything as weak as BoB (Sink the Bismarck might win me over, for instance).

I think this "Admiral" movie needs to be seen by someone before it can be on any list. Has anyone here actually seen it?
:p

Another nomination - Stalingrad (German-language film made in the 90s).

Oh, I dunno... Platoon, let's go with.  It's overrated, and I hated the scene where Willem Dafoe gets shot a million times and keeps getting up.

All I know is that Stalingrad definitely needs to be there.  The scene where the Germans are throwing around and slapping the Russian whore who keeps mockingly spreading her legs and saying, "When will you faggots fuck me?" is an all-time classic.

Platoon > Stalingrad.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Haven't seen the other movie, but I'll vote against Platoon.

I have not seen Stalingrad, so I vote for Platoon.
