It was requested and now it is materialized. A Top war movies thread. I made it top 7, but if you want to list more, go ahead.
Here are my tops in no particular order
Platoon
Apocalypse Now
Buffalo Soldiers
Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan
The Grey Zone
Black Hawk Down
Interested in Three Kings, but haven't seen it.
Now, I have excluded movies about the holocaust, ancient wars (like the Trojan war), sci fi, ones that are more political than warfare, etc.

Can't go wrong with your list. I would add Enemy at the Gates. Three Kings was pretty good

I just made the omission statement so people would know why Braveheart, Gladiator, etc. were not on the list.
