A brilliant masterpiece and the movie that tops my list for the best war movies.

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 1999)

1.Platoon Oliver Stone was there and he told it as he saw it. Platoon shows us a man's struggle to survive in war. It was not about winning or losing, it was about surviving. The battle again the enemy was inside every Vietnam Vet. How would your morality hold up in a war? This movie captures war in a brilliant and masterfull way. 2. Born of the fourth of July This movie tells the story of why someone would go to war and what happens when they get back. It is the best anti-war film ever made. 3. Saving Private Ryan This movie capture the visual aspect of war perfectly, an old World War two vet told me. It is a truly great movie. 4.Das Boot Many forget this film when talking about war movies. That is because it almost does not seem like a war, it seems more like a prison, underwater. This movie captures the pointlessness of war. 5.Glory Different from the films above this film is pro war. This film argues that the horrors of war do have a purpose and point. And that with a victory something good can come out of it. 6.DrStrangelove "What, this is not a war movie?", that is probably what you are thinking. It is a war movie about a nuclear war. It laughs at the end of the world and brings the point across well. 7.Apocalpse Now! No movie captures the insanity of war like this movie does. A complete trip into the insanity of Vietnam. 8.Shindler's List A movie about the victims of a war and a hero. It shows the other side and it a touching and brilliant movie. You may call me crazy but I think the ending is happy. 9.The Killing Fields A movie about the observers, the outsiders, and the watchers of a war who get pulled into the horrors. A story that was ment to be told. 10.BraveHeart The war for Freedom... A true hero who believed strongly in something that we all hold sacred. A great movie that focuses on the military leader.
