    I am young, so as a result I have not seen as many movies in my time as a lot of people here. But I can safely say that The Thin Red Line is, in my opinion, one of the worst that I have ever seen

                Thank you! I hardly ever hear Hamburger Hill get a mention, but it's such an amazing film!

                      Some excellent lists. Nearly all of mine are covered but I would be tempted to add Born on the Fourth of July and maybe Casualties of War

                                  'War' is far too wide a genre to only pick 10.
                                  But in terms of films that literally show war-

                                  1. Apocalypse Now
                                  2. Ran
                                  3. Saving Private Ryan
                                  4. The Deer Hunter
                                  5. Lawrence of Arabia
                                  6. Atonement
                                  7. Das Boot
                                  8. Intolerance
                                  9. Paths of Glory
                                  10. All Quiet on the Western Front
                                    Lots of incredible films within broader genre of war:
                                    Grave of the Fireflies
                                    Schindler's List
                                    The Best Years of Our Lives
                                    etc.
