Favorite gun/military movie out there?

[Kozmos]

Red Dawn is my favorite.
Ronin for guns and cars.
Since Snath was mentioned, I'll toss out Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

In no particular order:

The Hunters - I love F-86s
Bridges at Toko-Ri. Loved the flying. Hated the ending.
The Enemy Below
Kelly's Heroes
The Battle of Britain
Tora Tora Tora
Midway
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo - true to the book.
Patton
633 Squadron
Von Ryan's Express
Hanover Street - a sleeper
The Longest Day
Strategic Air Command

Does Sound of Music count??

The new movie Act of Valor coming out looks to have loads of potential to be added to this list. It's been a long time since a good war movie came out.

i would have to say band of brothers only because we got a chance to watch it with our drill sergents in the final days of basic training..but my new fav is the latest rambo. where he is a boat man and ****s everyone up. its epic imo

Yes. I like the fact Stallone seems to be closing the books on his characters. Rambo is excellent.

Some things are meant to endure like this thread and Fort Apache I think one of the greatest moves and casts ever assembled.
Also, The Longest Day

Anybody seen the fantastic 1977 film, Rolling Thunder? Pretty much impossible to find. It's not available on dvd. Several powerful moments. And a young Tommy Lee Jones to boot!



EDIT: It actually is on dvd!

Not a military movie, but one of my favorite gun movies, The Way of the Gun. The badguys (which the movie focuses on) actually carry and draw their weapons in and from IWB holsters instead of the usual Hollywood crap of pulling them out of either their waist band or thin air.
