This ought to get some excellent discussion going!!!! I would
have ranked some of these higher - Apocalypse Now, and Great
Escape, and haven't heard of a few, but pretty good list.

They missed Lone Survivor, Patton, Letters from Iwo Jima, Enemy
at the Gate, and We Were Soldiers. Any of those if far better
than Dam Busters, which was Damn Boring!

I am partial to DAS Boot, was my first movie I owned on the OLD
disc formate before Batamax or VHS cameout, and both my
grandfather and I could watch together a share as my German is
weak and his English is non existent.
Though the classics are good next would be saving private Ryan’s
parts, the scene as they land on the beachhead is epic,
especially when the landing craft doors drop.

I agree with Duck , Enemy at the Gate needs to be on the list .
What hurts Apaco Now is the 2nd half imo ....... still more than
worthy to be on the list . No Gettysburg , Glory, The Patriot or
Memphis Belle either ?

The Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, Run Silent Run Deep, To
Hell and Back, There are more but my one old brain cell just
froze and needs to be rebooted.

List seems weighted to WWII films - my list of ones to consider
adding are......
Sahara (with Bogart)
Stalingrad (1993, though the Russian one is good as well)
El Cid
Troy
Lawrence of Arabia
300
The Searchers
One I have wanted to see for ages is The Siege of
Jadotville.....NETFLIX!!
