I was tempted to put that on my list but omitted to include it. It is absolutely fantastic however. Well worth the time investment.

Oh and the main theme music from Schindler’s List is almost enough to set me off in tears.

A film that I forgot about and needs to be included in my ten is Jean-Pierre Melville’s Army of Shadows.
For those that interested in a French take on WW2 from arguably the top 5 directors of all time.

The Killing Fields was excellent - as too the Pianist.
No one has Mentioned Good Morning Vietnam.
l bought that on DVD in China almost 10 years ago.

Dunkirk was reasonable.
I have the criterion collection copy.
It’s about as perfect a film as you can get. Not a frame wasted.
The acting is just incredible.

These were as they came to mind. A couple of very notable omissions, which surprises me as I read them back.
Casablanca and Gone with the Wind aren’t war films as such in my mind.

In case nobody has mentioned it/ All Quiet On The Western Front is an epic.
Stalag 17 / William Holden superb.

I completely forgot about that! Top top film
That was brutal! One gunner goes down, another takes his place. They had no chance, just so exposed
Those 2 guys that dropped in at the chopper when they knew there was a good chance they were never getting out was crazy brave
I’m going to nominate The Duellists with Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel. Set during the Napoleonic Wars. Beautiful cinematography.
