To me a great war movie is more than just action- it should help make you feel like you know more of what it was like at that moment and better understand what they were facing.
Just a few on my list-
The Big Red One- this is a very thoughtful portrayal of how soldiers cope with being in war
Saving Private Ryan- the landing scene. Everything else- but the landing scene.
Dunkirk- everything about this film- and needed to be seen in a theater
Fury- I have a fondness for tanks. A real Tiger.
Kelly's Heroes. A war film. A con. A heist. Eastwood.
