  1. we may have to fight about this one.
    not sure about order for me, but i would agree that my list looks somewhat different than yours does.
    The Longest Day – no objection
    Letters from Iwo Jima – no objection
    Hurt Locker – i admit i have not watched this film yet (yes heresy i know)
    Tora Tora Tora – no ojection
    Big Red One – I would replace this one
    Dirty Dozen – entertaining but not one of my favorites
    Bridge on the River Kwai – no objection
    Das Boot – no objection and truly an underrated movie. this movie was just brutal. i cannot imagine what it would have been like to be a submariner in this time.
    Patton – no objection
    Platoon – no objection
    Saving Private Ryan – good movie good cinematography, plot is lame
    Apocalypse Now – no objection
    I always would put The Great Escape on this list. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this movie, but I will watch no matter where it is when I see it on television.
    Interesting that Charles Bronson is the only one to survive the Dirty Dozen and escape the Nazis in The Great Escape.
