Name a better war movie

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 1999)

This one is the best -- unlike "Saving Private Ryan" there is no phony-feeling redemption scene.
Kubrick was known -- and often criticized -- for his technical prowess; some thought it was at the expense of humanity. Regardless of what you think, the scene where Joker kills the sniper is a beautiful example of this. As Joker makes the decision to kill, the peace symbol he is wearing slides s-l-o-w-l-y from view, becoming completely obscured at the exact moment he fires the shot -- leaving only the "Born to Kill" sign left in view. The peace symbol partially (but only partially) re-emerges after the shot is fired.
Cool, huh?
