If you have the DVD, watch it in Germain even if you do not speak the language.

I always do, I watched it once with it dubbed in to English.  It was brutal, just sounded weird.  After that I stuck with watching it in German and reading the subtitles, after a while you don't even notice you are reading not hearing dialog.

The German works with the english subtitles, I noticed this as well, like the German version better and your brian just adds the emotions to the written word.

I'll throw in my vote for Kokoda, it's been discussed elsewhere on Army.ca beforehand but for those who haven't seen it, it's a great flick. It's all about some Aussies on the Kokoda Trails in Papua New Guinea, and brutal conditions is a gross understatement. Worth the watch.

Agreed.  Good flick.

9th Company

;D

9th Company was good too. Do you remember if they landed in KAF or BAF on the film?

 

[Spooks]

I'm not sure on particular details. I'll have to watch it again.

Alot of great war movies mentioned, mostly in the last 100 yrs history. Not sure if this was mentioned, but ive only seen it once, and never heard of it from anyone. It's called "When Trumpets Fade"...takes place in germany WW2. The leading actor is the guy who played the pilot in Black Hawk Down, the one who got captured.

Anyways, I too prefer the older historic movies....Alexander, Kingdom of Heaven, Braveheart.

When Trumpets Fade.. Havent seen that in years. I thought it was great. Now im going to have to look ot up again.

My favs are pretty much all listed already, and internet is pretty slow today. Thought I could share a few titles some may enjoy:
Grave of the Fireflies - Japanese animation about a boy surviving after Hiroshima;
Stalag 17 - Movie from the 50's, comedy portraying a german POW camp;
Commandos - Didn't see it mentionned. Don't remember much of it, other than americans are trying to stealthily capture buidlings and eliminate targets (saw it some 20 years ago, and I remember it only because of Arnold's similarly-named movie);
Joyeux Noel - WW1 movie where both sides decide to have a cease-fire for christmas, but end fraternizing and face charges for treason.

Now will be googling to see if there are any titles missing, and start looking to find them on DVD or online. I used to watch plenty of war movies with my dad when I was a kid, there were some that were really good.


And since someone mentioned "In the Army now", why not add
Sgt Bilko
Major Payne

I'm mildly surprised my favourite isn't mentioned on the list, so I guess I'll toss my hat into the ring.  Inglourious Basterds, even with how over the top it's done I love it, haha.

Okay so yeah I'm trying to find some decent war movies ( maybe 80's and up ) That aren't too far from reality !

I have no problem with some Hollywood movies , but I still wanna try to stick a bit to the reality ....

I enjoyed movie's like : We were Soldiers , Black Hawk Down ( very hollywood like ) , Saving private Ryan ( hollywood , but still kinda relevant ) , !5:13 The life a soldier I really enjoyed , Band Of Brothers and Pacific

I'm still trying to find more movies , Might be about WW2 , WW1 , Gulf War , Korea , I don't have any fixed ideas , I just really like those kind of movies , but if they could be more real thing then to much fiction!!!

Thanks a lot !!
