The best war movies

[elo]

Just watched Full Metal Jacketimo one of the best war movies ever.Its shows very good the psychical and physical abuse of recruits.The gunnery seargeant is brutal and kind of funny at once(when you are not one of the recruits.A lot of good sayings.Not only by the gunnery seargeant.Who could forget:"me so horny", "me love you long time" or "me sucky sucky" and other sayings mostly by the gunny.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you private?
Cowboy: Sir, five foot nine, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five foot nine? I didn't know they stacked shit that high! You tryin' to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huh?
Cowboy: Sir, no sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress! I think you been cheated! Where in the hell are you from anyway, private?
Cowboy: Sir, Texas, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy dog shit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?
Cowboy: Sir, no sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you a peter puffer?
Cowboy: Sir, no sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I'll bet you're the kinda guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.

Saving Private Ryan

Unfortunately the story is just moderate but the combat scenes are the best ever made.You never saw such realistic combat scenes.First class.

Not a feature film, but a mini series:

Band Of Brothers. Beats everything else on the list.

Das Boot, the only German war movie ever to be mentioned, great movie shot on a low budget, unlike "Saving Private Ryan". All war movies are anti war movies. Unlike porn movies.
