My top 5 all time war movies.I enjoy good war movies, but I am an ugly American who generally don't like movies with an accent. This one was good, but I didn't think it was fantastic like every critic was saying. Much like actors often take roles that are straight up Oscar bait, I thought they included several scenes in the movie just to show off their wonderful cinematography. I felt it was pretty blatant Oscar bait. The movie was like a less entertaining version of The Warriors. Have to get from point A to point B without getting killed. That is the basic plot of the movie. I may have oversimplified it. Most that like war movies will enjoy it though.
My top 5 all time war movies.
1. Patton
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Platoon
4. Fury
5. Full Metal Jacket
Tropic Thunder was kind of like a war movie so it should be in the top 5.
Non war movie...The Gentlemen was a great movie if you wanna see a good new release. Mcconaughey and Colin Farrell were incredible. Funny and bloody. Starts slow but a great movie. Hugh Grant was good as well. Lots of twistsThanks for the reviews. I was wanting to see it but the closer it got and the better the reviews were by critics, I knew I would probably be disappointed. Glad I didn't go now.
No love for Apocalypse Now?

Brad Pitt was awesome as "War Daddy". Hell of an edge. Usually not a Shia Lebouf fan but he was real good as "Bible". Loved the tank battle with one of the last remaining Tiger tanks for the Nazis. The Germans made one hell of a tank.Great list..Fury was sooo good.
Inglorious Bastards is one of my all time faves, war or otherwise. Loved that movie.
Plenty of WW2 movies out there, but a lot fewer WW1 movies. Going out to the movies isn't really my thing but hoping I'll get to see 1917 in theaters.Cinematography was incredible but was a little too slow for me. Hard time understanding with the accents. I'm more of a WW2 fan.
It was good. Just not in my top 5 good.Plenty of WW2 movies out there, but a lot fewer WW1 movies. Going out to the movies isn't really my thing but hoping I'll get to see 1917 in theaters.
All those are good but if we're doing a category as broad as war movies, I'd have to add Braveheart, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, etc. Around the WW2 time period, Cross of Iron is very good too.My top 5 all time war movies.

Braveheart was epic. Liked Troy. The Patriot with Mel Gibson another good war movie.All those are good but if we're doing a category as broad as war movies, I'd have to add Braveheart, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, etc. Around the WW2 time period, Cross of Iron is very good too.
Fury was a great 20 minute short...the first 20 were really good...the scene with a bulldozer pushing german bodies into a mass grave makes you realize the insanity of war...men going insane all over the place...and then it got stupid...the last 45 minutes was some of the worst movie making I have seen.Brad Pitt was awesome as "War Daddy".

Also, I prefer Thin Red Line to Saving Private Ryan
1917 was just okay from a story and action standpoint. But was well worth watching just for the cinematography, which was very out of the ordinary. My biggest gripe would be the baby scene. It really slowed everything down and went on too long.
I favor SPR. That 30 minute battle scene of the Normandy landing is one of my favorites. Just crank up the sound and you are there. Neighbors hate me though.
I thought 1917 was overrated. Liked Dunkirk much better.
I liked both movies. Was underwhelmed slightly in both of them. But we have to remember them for what they are. British. That is ok. Sometimes, it is good to see things from different perspectives. I loved the one shot take in 1917. The movie still made me think.
I haven't seen all the movies on the nominated list. They nominate way too many nowadays. Five should be max. Usually less are actually even considered for best picture. But ten is way too many. They are just trying to include everyone to the point that it's really just a "participation ribbon". I still can't believe that The Shape of Water won best picture. Halfway through, I thought the movie had potential. But then the lead character just had to have inter specie sex with the creature from the black lagoon. I'm no conservative, but that still was a WTF movie.

Just saw this and agree!Non war movie...The Gentlemen was a great movie if you wanna see a good new release. Mcconaughey and Colin Farrell were incredible. Funny and bloody. Starts slow but a great movie. Hugh Grant was good as well. Lots of twists
