Patton remains one of my favorite movies ever made and probably ranks up there as the best war movie in my opinion. George C. Scott's performance is the best every captured on celluloid as Patton; it makes me wish there were hard ass mother fuckers like Patton still out there.

Das Boot is *so* dated with those special effects and miniature work; I could never get into it given the goofy look of some of the sfx shots.

No one mentioned Glory at all? One of the better war movies ever made in my opinion, and certainly the best Civil War movie ever done given its symbolism and story.

Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Hamburger Hill are all at the top of my list too.
