I'm sure if more people saw The Great Escape, it'd rank over Black Hawk Down. Yes, that's my vote.
I could not agree more. 
I like it too and own it, but the problem is that Steve McQueen would only do the movie if he could do motorcycle stunts.  So that part, while exciting and fun to watch, had absolutely no basis in fact and was a total cave-in to the whims of a movie star.
True...and in the end, he didn't even make the barb-wire jump himself!  But it's still my favorite movie!

OK, Im sorry, but anyone who thinks Full Metal Jacket is a "war movie" is odd.  Its more of a "Basic Training" movie.  Anything after that part, is rediculous and pointless.

Band of Brothers
Saving Private Ryan
The Longest Day
Black Hawk Down
The Great Escape

1) Band of Brothers (for those non-believers consider that it has a 9.6/10 user rating on imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185906/) a must see
2) Black Hawk Down
3) Platoon
4) Saving Private Ryan
5) i'm surprised that "The Bridge over the River Kwai" didn't make it on the list

The Deer Hunter, Appcolypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Bridge over the River Kwai

....if I'm in the mood for a SERIOUS film

...and

Kelly's Heroes, The Great Escape, The Guns of Navarone

....if I want Entertainment

...and

Henry V (Kenneth Brannagh version)

...if I want to be jumping up and down and waving the Union Flag by the end of the film

--------------------

Want to See:

Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan


----------------

Can't Remember if..

Was there a Hamburger Hill?


-------------------

I did use some lisence creating this list because some of the films I have chosen aren't 'War' films as such. Some are POW films, and Henry V is Shakespeare...but still...what a battle!
