Favorite war movies

[cdschoonie]

During this pandemic, being out of work, I’ve had a lot of spare time. One thing I’ve been doing is re-watching war movies. Thought I’d see what others have for their top 5 favorites. Here’s my list, what’s yours?
1) Saving Private Ryan
2) Band of Brothers (a series but I count it as a movie)
3) The Pacific (another great series)
4) Enemy at the Gates
5) For me is a very close tie - Hacksaw Ridge vs. Fury
I know I listed 6, but the last 2 are too close to call for me, but I could easily list 5 more with a lot of ties.

Not really a big fan of war movies...

I remember seeing a comedic one as a kid, but don't remember the title. It was WWII, and the crew had to leave the port in a sub that was primered, but not painted yet. So it was sort of a pink color.

Along the way, they rescued a bunch of nurses from a hospital ship (I think?). So they had these women always in the way, along with lingerie hanging everywhere.

One scene that sticks in my mind... they were doing reconnaissance along enemy shores, and one of the girls came through, lost her balance, and accidently hit a lever that fired a torpedo toward the beach. It went up on the beach, hit a military vehicle and exploded.

One of the guys told the skipper, "We just sunk a truck!"

Probably too silly to watch as an adult anyway.

I'm not a huge fan of war movies either, but if I had to pick a few, they would probably be...

Saving Private Ryan
We Were Soldiers
Full Metal Jacket
The Dirty Dozen
The Boys in Company C

Ok, I did like "The Dirty Dozen" ...

Actually saw it in a theatre when it first came out.
