Best war movie ever

Saving Private Ryan
Fucking horrible movie.
Some of the worst technical direction I've seen in a movie that starred a reputed "WWII buff".
I repeat: Saving Private Ryan is easily the most overrated piece of crap war movie of all time.I think Tora Tora Tora is up with the best, or at least most accurate. BOB had great aerial photography, Saving Private Ryan was a great story with a really good ensemble cast

na. . . yer all wrong. . . this is the best war movie. . . bar none.
I like Hacksaw Ridge a lot....Tells the real story of a real hero, with the most accurate portrayal of how totally nuts the Japanese were.
1917 is also outstanding.

Battle of Britain - Spectacular scenes , no mock heroics and Susannah York in her underwear.
Saving Private Ryan
You probably had a crush on Private Ryan. Prancing Nancy boy.
Camouflaging war and hiding it doesn't help....let the people see it....The "best war movie" is the one that was never made.
War is the ultimate human failure. None of them need glorifying.
Accurate depictions of war serves as valuable education
Yes it does. That's what history books are good for.
But since the thread is about war movies, when Hollyweird gets around to "accurate depictions" (of anything), please notify my descendants.
True, still.. Dr. Strangelove.The "best war movie" is the one that was never made.
War is the ultimate human failure. None of them need glorifying.
Strangelove gets a pass, on account of it's satire.

And mind where you go with this ----- keep in mind the operative phrase used was "accurate depictions".

I’m not saying movies are a substitute for books, but there have been a few movies that have accurately portrayed what was war like according to people who fought in them.

Ryan was just too real. After seeing it I had to sit by myself for several hours to deal with it. I prefer my war movies to be less real thank you."Ryan" pretty much summed up war about as well as a film could. Sitting still during the beach assault was damn difficult; thought sure a tracer would get me even hiding behind the person in the seat in front of me!
Saving private Ryan !!
That is easy

Patton....or Zulu
Hacksaw Ridge was really good. True story of a religious conscientious objector who volunteers for a medical unit.

The first fifteen minutes were reasonably realistic....The rest of it was just plain implausible crap.Ryan was just too real. After seeing it I had to sit by myself for several hours to deal with it.

That is why it is the sort of film kids like I was should see rather than the sanitized, hero-worshipping tripe I watched. War should be absolutely the last thing a young man should want to participate in. "The Thin Red Line" and "Ryan" put war in its place.Ryan was just too real.

If it happened now, your country would fall in a day.

That is what happens when an education system, along with the entertainment industry attacks masculinity.
