Full Metal Jacket added to the list.

Some good ones listed. I liked Platoon as well

Patton tied with Sgt York

Have watched several of above mentioned movies, and enjoying them all. Just wish none of them had to have happened. Hope people remember the true meaning of this day, other than what a lot of people think of as first day of lake season……. Thanks to all veterans, and may the ones lost, rest in piece.

There were about 120 men in an Infantry Company when at full strength. That rarely happens. But using that figure 1 out of 3 paid the ultimate price.

Unil we meet again on Fiddler's Green. RIP
Garry Owens

Thanks Dogcatcher and all those who have served.

Saving Private Ryan is the best for me but also like Lone Survivor, 13 Hours and Blackhawk Down.

Look at the ages of those soldiers KIA

Hard to fathom that.



Today kids ( and yes I said kids) that age can hardly wipe their own arse

One of the best!

Great movie.

Thank you for not letting them be forgotten.
We owe them a debt we cannot pay.

Bat 21 was a pretty good one. Yall made a hell of a list already

Windtalkers was the one that really stood out to me. I was a kid back then but they really showed how much those men helped he cause.

Thanks dc. Hard to believe. I'm glad you made it back sir.

Very good choices, I would add The Pacific to the list, and Band of Brothers also. Maybe more of a series instead of movies, but worth the mention.

Many good movies listed.
Haven’t seen Hacksaw Ridge, it is good as well.

Green Berets
Guns of Navarone

Thanks Marvin and a Thanks to all the brother and sister who have served. Thanks to My Granddad (WW1), Father (WW2), and 2 older brothers (VN) for their service.

Saving Private Ryan

TWO of my great uncle's died in Italy fighting German's a long time before D-DAY

Smith Brother's, Texas National Guard from Coleman, Tx

I have watched it a thousand times and still enjoy it. I feel like it's a good representation of what theyvwent through.

Luke Skywalker is in it as well.

How bout tora tora tora?

Midway, Patton and Tora Tora Tora (70's one)
