Best War Movie EVER: Boardsies Decide - Voting Thread

duffman13

Gotta say you've three films I'd have nominated if I'd been on the ball, gotta go first blood though. An absolutely cracking movie with some real grit.

Love Gallipoli and We were soldiers so sad not to give them a vote, but yeah Rambo baby

I think it's very unfair in a battle royale

There are no rules in a battle royale!! It's kill or be killed!!!

quickbeam

Stalag 17 because it was the first POW movie and it’s brilliant. Also, Billy Wilder directed so that’s reason enough.

Necro

Rambo edges ahead 4-3.

Battle Royales are brutal, multiple good movies fall but this is War Movies folks (and I wanted to try and include them all)

TheValeyard

I vote Rambo.


It's awesome

Necro

First Blood goes through. Shame to say goodbye to some of the others though.

Necro

Next up and we have an... interesting battle. Let's see what y'all think of these two

TheValeyard

What's the story with Rambo , he's moved onto the Mexicans now and not the Asians?

TheValeyard

Lord of War is brilliant!!!


Nicolas Cages best film. Imo.


The opening intro. 'The Life of a bullet' wow.

FortuneChip

Yeah, going with Lord of War here.

Lots of lovely ambiguous philosophical arguments to enjoy.

Krombopulos Michael

Lord of War, the opening scene following the bullet was brilliant

quickbeam

Lord of War for the opening and because WH is overtly manipulative sentimental tosh.

Green&Red

I'll go War Horse cause I have previous with Nick Cage

Necro

4-1 to Lord of War here so far

MrKingsley

I’ve not seen either so no use for this one

fixXxer

I'll finish it like the bullet in the intro

Lord of War, very clever movie.

Electric Nitwit

Lord of War

Cage is great (although I disagree with Valeyard, his best is 8mm) and Warhorse is tosh

Kolido

We should defo run a best nicolas cage movie contest sometime.

Necro

Lord of War shoots through War Horse like that bullet in the intro. 5-1 the scoreline.

Necro

Speaking of Nic Cage... Actually he's not in this battle Fantasy and reality clash here in an interesting match up


Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers

The Hunt For Red October

Green&Red

THFRO because the other is overrated

fixXxer

Oh no

scotchy

The hunt for red October.

Russian sub Captain with a Scottish accent. Genius.

.

rameire

Hunt for Red October.
that Russian accent is pure genius, and never questionable.
plus another of my suggestions.

Kolido

Thfro, not a rotr fan and its directed by the guy who directed the best christmas movie ever.

Electric Nitwit

That's an amazing match up! I genuinely don't know...

MrKingsley

I’ll go LOTR.

Really didn’t enjoy Red October and the a action sequences in the Two Towers were class

Necro

4-1 to Red October so far...

Electric Nitwit

Two towers for the battle of helm's deep

And I'm not letting it get walked over here

FortuneChip

THFRO is a great film, so tense, and Connery's accent is spot-on.

But, The Two Towers (the strongest of the LOTR franchise) is my pick because that battle of Helms Deep is fecking brilliant.
