Good call on deer hunter. Haven’t seen it in a long time. Disturbing stuff as a youngster when I first saw it
The Patriot - AR Wonder Woman (2017) really is a WW 1 movie and just getting 2 hours of Gal Gadot is enough to make any list. Haven’t seen it in decades but I remember really liking The Big Red 1
I have always enjoyed, Tora Tora Tora A short walk in the daylight. Das Boot I didn’t see either on the list yet.
I love Tora Tora Tora! Great film dad boot is another all timer never watched a short walk in the daylight. What’s it about?
Just turned on the TV (Paramount TV network) and was reminded that at least part of Forrest Gump is a war movie, with a pretty intense battle scene.
It was one of the early WW 2 films made after the war. It follows a unit from getting off the beach during an invasion and moving inland. A lot of the action happens off screen which adds to the confusion of what these guys are going through. While not as intense as most of the films mentioned, it feels more honest as to what was going on.

John Wayne was the real life version of how they depicted Captain America in that first movie, parading him around like a symbol of American Freedom and giving him every role that they thought would reinforce that. Most of the roles he played were John Wayne. As a person, though, I think he was pretty cool.
I love Gregory Peck. Great actor! To kill a mockingbird, moby dick, boys from Brazil. That man had gravitas.
Watching a newish war movie on hbo max. The Kill Team. Only 1/3 of the way through, pretty good so far

Anyone looking for an unusual war, or more accurately, post-war movie I recommend a Danish film, Land of Mine. The story is about a group of German POWs, all teenagers, reflecting Hitler's desperation at the end of the war. The group, under the supervision of a Danish sergeant, is assigned the task of removing the hundreds of mines planted on a Danish beach by the German Army earlier in the war.
