What is your favourite war movies?
I'm going to watch some in my school holidays, so I was wondering what your favourite war movies were. I've seen virtually none, (shut your eyes and think of the most well known war movies. Yeah, haven't seen it) So what are your favourite war movies of all time? They can be from any war from any time. Please no propaganda films.

Black Hawk Down - truly the best war movie I have ever seen!
The tag line "leave no man behind" shows the background integrity and bravery within the movie, its all based on a true story and the modern warfare is, in my opinion, much more fun than the old WW2 type movies. Great cast made up of a lot of British actors, great director (Ridley Scott) it's just a great war movie, filled with complete bravery and comradeship.

Defiance
Inglourious Basterds
Downfall
The Great Escape - This movie isn't technically about war, but it concerns prisoners of war. Good movie though.
Band of Brothers - Technically not a movie, but each episode (there are ten in all) is about 1 1/2 hours long.
