Top 5 War Movies

Since it was requested....

1. Band of Brothers - Technically this is a miniseries but is the best film that makes you feel the realness of WWII. Geat story about the 101st airborne. Pure excitement and misery from start to finish.

2. We Were Soldiers - Probably the most underrated modern day war film, most likely due to it being the Vietnam War, but it has a great cast and screenplay. Shows not only th warfront, but also the wives and families back home throughout the fim. Realy evokes the emotion of how war can hit home the hardest.

3.Glory - An excellent Civil War film that won a few academy awards and put Denzel Washington's foot in the door of Hollywood. About the first black regiment issued in the Civil War. IT has lots of heart and can really tears down the social/political/racial barriers between soldiers.

4. Windtalkers - This film may have many flaws but it has a part of WWII that I was never taught in school. The Navajo indians were code talkers to help out in the war. It's just a different side of the war that I think goes missed.

5. Letters From Iwo Jima - An American director films a movie from the eyes of the Japanese soldiers during the battle for the island of Iwo Jima. The film is subtitled through the whole thing. The film plucks at your heart strings looking at war as a multi-dimensional struggle, as opposed to a one-sided self-righteous war.
