War Films: Post em here

THIS THREAD IS NOW CLOSED AS IT's BIG ENOUGH :)

Hi guys,

I know this should be in the Film Section.. but it's not, so there :)

This is the score, this is how this thread works.

You post the name of ONE war film each, and I'll come back in over the course of the next few days and edit them into one list.

<LIST HERE>

You are NOT allowed to post another one until someone else has posted a fresh film AFTER your post.

(& I don't want to see films like Aliens or Independance day here.. just cos they were wars with other worlds or aliens... it don't count!)

I'm going to start building my DVD collection and I want to know what to buy, and after a few weeks, this list could be your PERFECT CHRISTMAS/BIRTHDAY list... if anyone ever asks you what you want for a gift.. send them here :)
