WAR MOVIES
Perhaps no other category of film captures the range of human experience as does that of war. I have seen each of the movies below, as well as many others, and I think these are about the best ever made. The stars given the text links are my opinion. The graphic links are all 5 stars.
Gallipoli ***** (WWI - early Mel Gibson - a superior movie)
Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) *****
The Bridges at Toko-Ri ***** (Korean War)
The Great Escape ****
Tora! Tora! Tora! *****
The Young Lions ****
Das Boot - The Original Uncut Version*****
Gods and Generals/Gettysburg ****
Hiroshima *****
Catch-22 ***** (one of my all time favorites, a classic war with dark comedy film)
A Midnight Clear ****
Band of Brothers ***** (an extraordinary TV program - a must see)
Black Hawk Down [Blu-ray] ****
The Patriot (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray] **** (a great backstory of the American Revolution)
Midway (Collector's Edition) ****
We Were Soldiers (Widescreen Edition) **** (Mel Gibson -- one of the first battles of Vietnam war)
Midway (Collector's Edition) ****
Sergeant York (Two-Disc Special Edition) *****"Anything not understood in more than one way is not understood at all."
