For those too lazy to look up the list:
- The Great Escape
- Apocalypse Now
- Platoon
- Predator
- Black Hawk Down
- The Hunt for Red October
- The Deer Hunter
- The Dirty Dozen
- Saving Private Ryan
- The Hurt Locker
Yes on: The Great Escape, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Black Hawk Down, Dirty Dozen and Saving Private Ryan
I'm not sure I'd add Predator or Hunt for Red October into a "war movie" genre.
The Deer Hunter was just dark. Good flick, but I'm not sure I'd put it in a top 10 list.
Hurt Locker sucked...
Minus those four, I'd add:
Bridge on the River Kwai
Das Boot
A Bridge Too Far
We Were Soldiers
Honorable Mentions: Patton, The Longest Day, Downfall (war movie?), Courage Under Fire, Guns of Navarone
Would Band of Brothers be considered a "movie" for this purpose? Certainly worthy of consideration.
