Fox has come out with a list of the top 20 war movies of all time. A shit list if you ask many.
No Patton.
No Big Red One
No Midway.
No Great Escape.(although I find that just on the edge of being a war movie)
As a child who absolutely loved war movies, I am amazed at how many on this list are here just because they seem to have an anti-war theme.
Full Metal Jacket? Come on. Good movie but not near top 20.
Hurt locker? Not that great, but libruls love it.
Platoon? Not a GREAT movie, but an important one as it was the first movie about Nam that tried to show the raw side of that war. Again, not great but groundbreaking.
Mash? More anti war drivel form a war movie standpoint.
Black Hawk Down? More of a political statement than a great movie. Fun to watch, but not 3 4 , or 10 times.
The Deer Hunter as a war movie?
Apocalypse Now? Great war movie? Really?
Schindler's list. Great movie, but was it really a war movie so to speak?
Some are crying about Green Berets not on the list, but that movie was a WWII movie made to look like Nam. Not that great.
What are some of your favorites and which of these do you agree with or disagree with?
Sorry. I thought I added alink:
