Best War Movie EVER: Boardsies Decide - Voting Thread

Banjo

Casablanca - great dialogue, and it shows what's really important in any conflict : ordinary people not "getting their hole" because of that damned war!

The Bridge on the River Kwai
watched it so many times and can easily watch it again and again.
great story.

Green&Red

Bridge over for me, classic war film

Krombopulos Michael

The bridge on the River Kwai

The conditions they worked in and suffered. They became institutionalised for the creation of the build, even though the allies wanted it blown up.

Tabnabs

River Kwai every time



Show's the treatment the Japs gave to POWs. Murderous scum.

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Just an awesome film and the portrail of the conditions that the Allied prisoners had to endure, which by the way the Japanese have never properly apologised for.

Necro

Need a reason folks, you can edit it into your post if you like

Green&Red

You’ll need a reason there tabnabs

Kolido

Casablanca, cos we'll always have Paris.

Tbh I havent seen the other but Casablanca is one of my favourite movies.

scotchy

Though choice

But, The Bridge on the River Kwai

For Alec Guinness.

Casablanca is a classic movie... but in terms of "war movies", River Kwai fits the bill perfectly, so it gets my vote. It has Alec Guinness too - before he was a Jedi Knight

The bridge on the River Kwai


Just a very heart felt film.

Gallipoli
How fast can you run?
Fast as a leopard!
***PFEEEEEEEEEEEP!***

Hoboo

First Blood all the way. Anyone who doesn't feel pain and eats things that would make a billy goat puke gets my vote every time.

Krombopulos Michael

First Blood.

I liked the ingenuity of Rambos traps in the forest against the local sheriffs deputies and it highlighted how crap things get for those post war.

fixXxer

Putting all the movies I've not seen in the one post is very good of you.

Abstention!

Tabnabs

Gallipoli.

Despite having aged badly, a movie about the horrors of the Great War deserves to get through.

They should do a "re-make" and feature the Irish who went out and were slaughtered in what has mostly become a forgotten episode for the majority.

I’ve seen none of these either but I’ll vote for Gallipoli cause I like waltzing Matilda and Banjos post

Remouad

First Blood
I actually prefer this to the sequel as it's more grounded.

Also the alternative ending!!:eek:

Necro

3 - 3 between First Blood and Gallipoli so far

He's not a terrorist. He's white, so he's a lone wolf

I've only seen one so don't feel I can vote

I worry that's going to be the case quite often for me

That's your decision

Though if it's a favourite why not give it a leg up

I might in head to heads
I think it's very unfair in a battle royale
