What are some military movies you like, as well as the ones you didn't like?

Chuck Norris movie "Delta Force" was awful.

I didn't think much of the movie "Pearl Harbor"

I liked the 2005 movie "American Soldiers". The movie was up tempo, non-stop action. The group of soldiers could never catch a break. It was one crisis after another. This group of soldiers had a really really rough day.

Like
Red Badge of Courage
The Great Escape
Judgment at Nuremburg

I like the movie "Hamburger Hill"

Did not like:
Affleck version of Pearl Harbor

Too sad to say I 'liked it':
Hamburger Hill
Restrepo
Full Metal Jacket
Rescue Dawn


Did so like:
Tora Tora Tora
From Here to Eternity
Hamlet
Braveheart
Star Wars (1977)
Casablanca
The Dirty Dozen (!!!)
MASH
Apocalypse Now
How in hell have I forgotten The Deerhunter
The Big Red One(!!!)
Empire of the Sun
The Killing Fields
Ran (Kirosawa)
Master and Commander

Here's a pretty exhaustive list of someone else's idea of what was best.

From Here to Eternity
M*A*S*H*
The Blue Max
The Desert Fox

Did not like Pearl Harbor

The War Show

I'm not so good with the glories of war films.

Most of these wonderful films use wartime as a rich, meaningful backdrop to a character study.

I also like Gene Hackman and Danny Glover in the movie "Bat 21"
That was clever how Gene Hackman's character used his knowledge and memory of a specific golf course to secretly tell his rescuer of his location.

Among others, Pork Chop Hill, Guadalcanal Diary, Wake Island, Full Metal Jacket

Same here. I knew of the special IMAX Batman movies and skipped them.

I like Sci-Fi though. I would have seen Interstellar in 70mm IMAX and advocated the same for everyone else, but since it was not an established Sci-Fi franchise I completely failed to notice it when it was on in theaters.

I keep hoping that maybe my local IMAX will one day choose to replay the 70mm version of Interstellar so I can see it in all of its high-resolution grandeur.



Yes, but in order to replace 70mm IMAX projectors, we will need 16K digital projectors.

We are capable of making such a thing. But no one in the movie industry has shown any interest in building/purchasing/installing/using digital projectors larger than 4K.

Yes on Great Escape, loved it, saw it five times, no kidding. Also re Das Boot. Haven't seen the others you mentioned.

Stalag 17
Don't know how to rate Little Big Man, with the Seventh Cavalry during the Indian wars. I almost liked it but got tired of watching.

Hotel Rwanda, stark disturbing film about the genocide in Rwanda

A large part of The Good the Bad and the Ugly revolves around the Civil War. One of my favorite westerns.

Cold Mountain, Also civil war, I just don't know how to describe it

Viva Zapata - Mexican Revolution

I can only remember the end of the movie. I'm not sure, but it's possible that I only saw the end of the movie. I do like the ending of "Force 10 from Navarone".

The movie "Windtalkers" was just okay.

Immortal Sergeant - Thomas Mitchell
Sands of Iwo Jima
