Top 10 Greatest War Movies of All Time

I am 100% honest when I say I haven't watched this, but I already know #1 will probably be Saving Private Ryan.

As a combat vet, I reject the notion that "The Hurt Locker" is a top 10 war movie. It's so full of unrealistic crap that it's barely a war movie at all.

Paths of glory is a masterpiece that needs far more views...Stanley Kubrick was an undisputed genius. Everything he touched turned into gold. The thing that made him so special was that while watching his movies for the first time, they may seem to be tedious at some points, but while watching them for the second time, so many details emerge...

I am kinda surprised Come and See isn’t on this list. It’s a truly brutal, gritty, realistic depiction of war. A definite must see.

13 Hours, Black Hawk Down, and Lone Survivor, Enemy at the Gates, We Were Soldiers all deserve to be on this list

See Watchmojo, these are the kind of videos we like to see. Not that weird "Top 10 Milfs in Anime" bullshit.

Apocalypse Now is to me by far the greatest war movie ever. Saving Private Ryan was great but it didn’t get into my head like Apocalypse Now did.

Dunkirk and 1917 are very unique war films, and I know they aren't a movie but band of brothers are always top notch

You said it has to be a war movie where there is combat and yet you snuck movies like Bridge On The River Kwai and The Great Escape which had close to 0 combat on the list and yet threw Letters from Iwo Jima and Black Hawk Down as a honorable? Plus you mentioned Full Metal Jacket and that's it? Plus where's We Were Soldiers? At least if you want to talk about war movie, use something that's believable. You din't put Inglorious Bastards in because it's fictional and you think The Great Escape is true? You think the Japanese treated the British POWs well in Siam (Present-day Thailand)? No! How daft can you guys be!?!

When will people stop pretending that Hurt Locker is a good movie?

Black Hawk Down was something else. "It's about the men, who stand next to us."

Missing from the list: Longest day, we were soldiers. Tora Tora Tora just to name a few

Full metal jacket is not even an honorable mention? Wtf

I watched Saving private Ryan yesterday for the first time. What an amazing movie! One of the best films I`ve ever seen. Adam Goldberg and Giovanni Ribisi played the most memorable and interesting characters in this film, in my opinion.

Das Boot - one of my all-time favourite movies. You cam feel the stink and filth emanating from the crew. 99% shear boredom and !% absolute terror.

We Were Soldiers is a ground breaking film based on historical fact. I put it right up there with Private Ryan. You also missed Greyhound. How did you miss Enemy at the Gates!

No full metal jacket

Now there is that masterpiece of 1917. And also brilliant Hacksaw ridge

Apparently, no one has seen "we were soldiers" a true story based on General Moore, during Vietnam. to me, that is the best movie about that period because its true and very well done.

I think that you did a pretty good job with this list, but "The Hurt Locker" doesn't belong. I am an Iraq veteran. The idea that an EOD team would do anything other than EOD is foolish. They are an extremely valuable asset and are very well protected. They do not make their own missions, engage as a sniper team or (the best) pull on wires attached to explosives. The idea that war is a grand horror show and that there is a great deal of moral ambiguity on the battlefield is much better documented in other places. The complete lack of reality in that movie really took me out of it. And no, I have nothing against women directing any movies. Kathryn Bigelow appeared to do a great job in "Zero Dark Thirty" and "K-19," but as I am neither CIA or navy, I will not comment on their accuracy. Her movie "Near Dark" may be one of the absolute best horror movies ever made, and that is another genre not known as being dominated by women. By the way, Donald Pleasence from "The Great Escape," was an actual WW II British POW.
