    Zulu's in twice
    Dirty Dozen is part comedy
    Schindler's List is at best about the effects of war, not a genuine war flick.

    Re: WAR FILMS (part two) VOTE OUT THE WEAK ONES

    Pearl Harbour - Michael Bay, you gave us Megan Fox but even that can't forgive this.

    Born On The Fourth Of July - It's not really a war film so much as a film about the effects of war.

    Buffalo Soldier - As much as I like it, it's not a war film, just an excellent film about soldiers.

    Enemy At The Gates - It's just a bit pants.

    I would disagree with Kalniel about Band Of Brother, it's ace (though not technically a film).

    And we forgot to include Three Kings!

    Red vs Blue
    Red Dawn
    Pearl Harbour.

    All dreadful. Having said that there are number of movies in there I've never heard of, and could possibly be even worse.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: WAR FILMS (part two) VOTE OUT THE WEAK ONES

    Pearl Harbour - haven't seen it but also haven't ever heard anyone say anything good about it
    Top Gun - more of a chick flick than a war film
    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - classic film but no more of a war film than three kings IMO
