          1. Apocalypse Now
          2. Dr. Strangelove & How I Learned to
          3. Inglorious Basterds
          4. Full Metal Jacket
          5. Platoon
          6. Saving Private Ryan
          7. Forrest Gump (Great Vietnam scenes)
          8. Pearl Harbor
          9. Lone Survivor
          10. Zero Dark Thirty
            #s 7 - 10 are debatable but they all gave me unforgettable images of war. I also haven't seen Paths of Glory, Patton, Black Hawk Down, Deer Hunter, or The Hurt Locker, which are all supposedly great.
            Apocalypse Now is definitely the best tho.

            I really think such a list should be more specific, such as in time frames.
            War movies before firearms, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc
            But in general:
            Full Metal Jacket
            Saving Private Ryan
            Inglorious Bastards
            Lone Survivor
            Black Hawk Down
            Gettysburg
            The Thin Red Line
            Kingdom of Heaven
            Braveheart
            The Last Samurai
            In no specific order. There are so many good ones, though.

              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

                                      Wow, just 10? That's tough!
                                      My list would probably have to go
