So many great war movies made since Apocalypse Now up to the last several released in recent years, like Dunkirk and 1917. Of the ones mentioned, Black Hawk and Patton.

Saving Private Ryan Black Hawk Down Flags of Our Fathers Letters to Iwo Jima Midway Greyhound Fury My Way (South Korean movie)
With the recent discovery of the wreck of USS Johnston about a month ago, a film about the Battle of Leyte Gulf would be interesting.

Haven't seen the older one. I'll have to sometime. I heard that there are several differences between the two versions and they both deviate from the book in many ways.

That should have been on my list. Full Metal Jacket should have been on mine too. Maybe should not have limited it to ten. 😸 Oops. 😹

It's hard to reduce down to only 10. But everybody has posted great movies. I wouldn't mind a movie marathon of any or all of these titles.
Might skip "Welcome to Sarajevo" however. Hits me too hard in the memories. The rest of you guys can enjoy that one. It's about as real as it gets.

I'm surprized Zulu isn't getting more love on this thread. Rorke's Drift is, after all, a true story. 150 soldiers, half of them in the infirmary, holding off 3 or 4 thousand Zulus fresh from a massacre of 4,000 British regulars at Isandlwana that same morning.
