Off my head good war films
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest War
12 O'Clock High (Peck's Best Actor award)
Pork Chop Hill
Paths of Glory (of course)
Dr. Strangelove (duh)
Full Metal Jacket (completes Kubrick trio)
Never So Few (Sinatra with weird beard, McQueen stole the show)
The Sand Pebbles (McQueen's only nomination)
Platoon
Adventure/Drama with war background.
Stalaq 17
Bridge On The River Kwai
The Great Escape
The Guns of Navarone (and its sequel, yes sequel)
Kelly's Heroes
Heartbreak Ridge (most awesome Eastwood one-liners ever)
Where Eagles Dare
The Eagle has landed
Three Kings (kinda remake of Kelly)
The Young Lions (Clift = awesome, brando = suck)
M*A*S*H
Might have missed out some, and yes, not too fond of Spielberg's war films.

In deed.
Much like 'The Deer Hunter' is about the hunter and not the deer, yet masquerading that the deer poses the sickening danger & violence. It turns problematic.

Any good Indian war films? Sivan's Terrorist, to some extent, but that wouldn't exactly fit under 'war', will it?

Missed out Thin Red Line.
Indian war film? Hmm...VPK has some interesting scenes, Karnan - both can be categorise as Drama with war background. MGR had his share, very big, but ellAm childhoodla pArthathu, NadOdi Mannan, Arasakattalai, Adimai Penn all had war background?

Then, I have to bring in Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, EL Cid (or any historical/epic Heston pix you can think of). Hey, anyone for the first Dirty Dozen?
