CycleChat Investigates - War! What is it good for?

[stephec]

I don't know how you can pick one, probably Where Eagles Dare, closely followed by Von Ryan's Express, closely followed by The Eagle has Landed.

Of those listed it has to be Apocalypse Now. Von Ryan’s express is an inexcusable omission, as black hawk down & hacksaw ridge.

Have we had The Guns of Navarone yet?

And Inglourious Basterds.

Have we had The Guns of Navarone yet?

Good shout.

The Dirty Dozen. Lee Marvin kicking ass!

Early sitrep. Marlon Brando is in the lead, but R. Lee Ermey is coming up fast and preparing to give Richard Todd a good fragging.

Very good film about an incredible man.

Seems we are in the minority but your not wrong.

Already mentioned, but Das Boot has to be up there. Incredibly well made film (6 hours long!), a masterpiece.

Edit: typos

BTW I'm perfectly aware of Douglas' faults but it is a stunning film.

But only because Kenneth More makes him a lovable rogue.

@Drago I've just thought of one that I can't believe you've left out - Patton.

And what about -

The Battle of Britain
The Great Escape
Escape to Victory
