Band of brothers- it isn't a movie, but it deserves to be mentioned.
Platoon
300
We were soldiers
Apocalypse now
M*A*S*H
Tora tora tora
Letters from iwo jima
The thin red line
The flag of our fathers
Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
You sir, have good taste. The Thin Red Line was such a different movie, but I think it depicts war better than most war movies (including Saving Private Ryan).
I would add these to the list, if you havent seen them I highly recommend them.
Black Hawk Down
Full Metal Jacket (if you liked Platoon, you'd love this)
The Kingdom (2007)
I cant remember other good war movies I've seen, but if I do I'll give a shout. I've heard that The Hurt Locker is pretty good but I havent seen it.

I think I'll pick it up next time. You know thats Sean Penn as a stoner in my Avatar.
I completly agree that it depicts war better than most of movies.
Of course there are some heroism on the movie, but I like the focus on the emptying of the things that make us human, the morbidness that increases in the soldier, the reality that death imposes on their psychology...
The thing I also like about Thin Red Line is that it shows that you dont always get a good leader when you're in the military, and all some people care about is climbing the ranks.

The kingdom - I don't know this movie...
Full Metal Jacket - I've never seen. but I know it's Kubrick's, well... I don't know why i haven't rented this movie yet. going to rent both this weekend.
Rivelution wrote: The Kingdom isnt like the typical on the front line war movie, but its good nevertheless. And you gotta see Full Metal Jacket dude, you'll love it its such a good movie.
Bruno_Brazil wrote:War is one of my favourite genre =)
I know I forgot some good movies too(not only in this genre)
I'll update the lists by the time the movies come to my mind..=)
Rivelution wrote: War movies are my favorite too. I think I like it just because of the male bondage.I like "Glory", but I just think it's weird seeing Mathew Broderick doing movies that aren't comedy.
Here I remembered more good war movies.
Dont know if this would be considered a war movie but I absolutely love it.
Rivelution wrote: Oh and dude, the people who made Band of Brothers are coming out with another mini-series called "The Pacific." Its in WWII and obviously based on the Pacific Theater, and it looks really good. I dont have HBO though so I think Ill have to wait for it to come on dvd.It looks great!
Here's the trailer
