    Enemy at the gates

    Much more feel as a war movie rather than a historical outing like Collins

    Enemy At The Gates.
    Great opening battle, lovely score throughout, and Ed Harris is top drawer.

    Docking Micky Collins for the inclusion of Julia Roberts, and blatant implication of who was behind the assassination.

    Enemy at the Gates - for the sniper scene alone. Ed Harris is super in this

    Enemy At The Gates. Ed Harris performance as a nazi officer was brilliant and Ron Perlman was funny too.

    4-2 currently to Enemy.

    One more vote can win it...

    Or can Micky Collins stage a rally after a good start?

    Continuing with the trend of war movies on the homefront.... but it's up against what many consider an absolute classic.

    Schindlers List - A masterclass of film making. That red coat shot is legendary by itself.

    I know i've seen wind that shakes the barley, possibly more than once, but I can remember almost the whole movie of schindlers list.
    For a film thats over 3 hours long, it didn't feel like it.

    classic, and gets my vote.

    Schlinders list.

    Barry Lyndon. Amazing Kubrick movie. I never thought of it in my nominations but if I had it’d probably have been there.

    I'll leave this one alone.

    Only seen two of them regrettably, and neither deserve to win

    Rambo First Blood Part 2.

    Shows the slimy side of a CIA mission when he is betrayed, and he still gets the job done. And shows Rambo in his natural environment...war.

    Sands of Iwo Jima

    Mmmm

    Between John Wayne and Michael Caine

    Gonna give it to Sands of Iwo Jima and John Wayne. Can never forget my dad's comments of John Wayne always dies at the end.

    Top gun is a war flick, who knew.

    The soundtrack alone wins it for me.

    Top Gun for the homoeroticism of it all. And the soundtrack. And the quotes.

    Top Gun has a lead over the other 4 entries - 3 votes to 1 each for the rest.

    We'll see how we go G&R, pacing governed by the voting public :D
