In the race of most times I've seen a movie, Platoon is a close second to Never Ending Story.

What was the name Bastion gave the Princess?

No Dirty Dozen? John Cassavettes was pure class in that.

Apocalypse Now

(i would have said The Thin Red Line, had it been on the list)

I dont see KELLYS HEROS on the list nor do I see DIRTY DOZEN on that list. Not to mention, BLACKHAWK DOWN and WHERE EAGLES DARE and the most important war flick of all time.....drum roll.....REDDAWN nukka!

^^^That's b/c i i dont own those. and Red Dawn is a totally ridiculous movie. wouldn't mind seeing it again though

Where Eagles Dare is classic. I need to get it on DVD along with The Guns Of Navarone.

Strangelove is great, but its more of a comedy. I still think Saving Private Ryan is one of the better war movies I've ever seen, but Apocalypse Now is also very good.

I like The Longest Day as well, but I still haven't seen the whole thing

Platoon or Saving Private Ryan. I heard somewhere that vietnam war veterans said that Platoon was extremely accurate to the hell that when on went on in vietnam.
