I've heard Dunkirk is racist.

Well, I was outraged and disappointed that a black, transsexual midget wasn't cast. Other than that though...

It's weird, this thread has made me come to realize that while I really dig War movies, outside of a handful, I have only watched many of them once. And of some I have watched multiple times, I don't consider them faves/top-10 (Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now ). :| :idea:

Granted, we know half of zombie's list doesn't count, but does Troy? If so, that is getting some super adhesive splooge for that underrated gem.

Schindler's List is supposed to be the undisputed GOAT war movie. But it's on nobody's list except for Seb's. lol.

No particular order, just ten that come to mind.
The Deer Hunter: probably not a true war movie

Also: Dunkirk on this

The Deer Hunter is a true fence straddler, for me. Way the hell above Schindler's List, but also in the Born on the 4th of July territory of being about the aftermath of the war.

The POW stuff is legit but how much weight does it carry? Questionable for me looking back on my list.

Braveheart is associated with a very unpleasant period in my life. Can't watch it. Lame explanation, but there it is.

Hmm, I like that better than ragging on a great movie.

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!

Can't believe I didn't think of Brothers or American Sniper. Those are probably #1 and #2 honestly.
