Again, more or less a poll. What are some of your favorite war movies.
-Fort Apache - technically a Western, I guess, but it's about the Indian wars - sort of a Custer film
-Spartacus - I was impressed, I didn't expect to like this
-Lawrence of Arabia - of course it's on my list
-Sergeant York - Gary Cooper gives a great performance as a delinquint turned pacifist turned the great American hero of WWI
-Bridge on the River Kwai - David Lean again, this time in a classic battle of wills and confused loyalties
-The Great Escape - another POW film, I can't not include this
-The Caine Mutiny - story of a crazed captain (Bogart) during WWII and his officers that take control of the ship from him
-Gunga Din - great film, can't help but love the final scene
-The Best Years of Our Lives - a post-WWII film about 3 servicemen returning to their former lives and loves, realizing that the best year of their lives were their military years
I know, I know, I listed much too many, but I'll narrow my list down later, I suppose. We might as well go for 5 or so picks per person, as we did in the Spielberg thread.
