    Off my head good war films

    A Bridge Too Far
    The Longest War
    12 O'Clock High (Peck's Best Actor award)
    Pork Chop Hill
    Paths of Glory (of course)
    Dr. Strangelove (duh)
    Full Metal Jacket (completes Kubrick trio)
    Never So Few (Sinatra with weird beard, McQueen stole the show)
    The Sand Pebbles (McQueen's only nomination)
    Platoon

    Adventure/Drama with war background.
    Stalaq 17
    Bridge On The River Kwai
    The Great Escape
    The Guns of Navarone (and its sequel, yes sequel)
    Kelly's Heroes
    Heartbreak Ridge (most awesome Eastwood one-liners ever)
    Where Eagles Dare
    The Eagle has landed
    Three Kings (kinda remake of Kelly)
    The Young Lions (Clift = awesome, brando = suck)
    M*A*S*H

    Might have missed out some, and yes, not too fond of Spielberg's war films.

    In deed.

    Much like 'The Deer Hunter' is about the hunter and not the deer, yet masquerading that the deer poses the sickening danger & violence. It turns problematic.

    Some more:
    Thin Red Line - very distinct style, Mallick visionE thani.
    Fateless

    Any good Indian war films? Sivan's Terrorist, to some extent, but that wouldn't exactly fit under 'war', will it?

    Missed out Thin Red Line.

    Indian war film? Hmm...VPK has some interesting scenes, Karnan - both can be categorise as Drama with war background. MGR had his share, very big, but ellAm childhoodla pArthathu, NadOdi Mannan, Arasakattalai, Adimai Penn all had war background?

    Then, I have to bring in Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, EL Cid (or any historical/epic Heston pix you can think of). Hey, anyone for the first Dirty Dozen?
