- DirectorCornel WildeStarsCornel WildeRip TornBurr DeBenningAs a US marine unit fight against the defenders of a Japanese held island, both sides are haunted by their own thoughts and memories.Before 'The Thin Red Line' there was this. Is to 'The Thin Red Line' what 'Boys in Company C' was to 'Full Metal Jacket'. Little bit different, perhaps influenced by 'nam', but interesting.
- DirectorRobert AldrichStarsLee MarvinErnest BorgnineCharles BronsonDuring World War II, a rebellious U.S. Army Major is assigned a dozen convicted murderers to train and lead them into a mass assassination mission of German officers.Great Cast, Great characters, neat story. Puts Tarantino's 'war' movie to shame.
Marvin. Bronson, Savalas, Borgnine,..awesome. - DirectorAndrew V. McLaglenStarsWilliam HoldenCliff RobertsonVince EdwardsA US Army lieutenant colonel is tasked with forming an elite commando-style unit from crack Canadian troops and the dregs of the US Army.
- DirectorBrian G. HuttonStarsRichard BurtonClint EastwoodMary UreAllied agents stage a daring raid on a castle where the Nazis are holding American brigadier general George Carnaby prisoner, but that's not all that's really going on.Hot off the heels off 'Faster Pussycat: Kill! Kill!' in '65, this might as well have been called 'Dirty Nazis: Kill! Kill! Kill! & Keep Killing!' as Eastwood and Burton dispatch more fodder by machine gunning, bombing, stabbing, ice picking and falling from greats heights than Schwarzenegger or Stallone could ever had imagined taking care of in a movie.
This is absolute comic book stuff and it's absolutely fantastic and entertaining. If you like action and being entertained and don't enjoy this then you are downright lying about liking action and entertainment. - DirectorRay KelloggJohn WayneMervyn LeRoyStarsJohn WayneDavid JanssenJim HuttonCol. Mike Kirby picks two teams of crack Green Berets for a mission in South Vietnam. First off is to build and control a camp that is trying to be taken by the enemy the second mission is to kidnap a North Vietnamese General.Oft maligned, but seriously under-rated. This film doesn't get a fair go.
My review:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063035/reviews-141 - DirectorEdward DmytrykDuilio ColettiStarsRobert MitchumPeter FalkRobert RyanAnzio: one of WWII's bloodiest battles as the Allies smash through the German lines which have enclosed the Anzio beachhead--four months and 30,000 casualties before the Allies finally march to Rome.

- DirectorJohn GuillerminStarsGeorge SegalRobert VaughnBen GazzaraAs the Allied armies close in, the Germans decide to blow up the last Rhine bridge, trapping their own men on the wrong side. But will it happen?
- DirectorSydney PollackStarsBurt LancasterPatrick O'NealJean-Pierre AumontDuring the Battle of the Bulge, an anachronistic count shelters a ragtag squad of Americans in his remote 10th Century castle hoping a battle there against the advancing Germans will not lead to its destruction and all the heritage within.
- DirectorBoris SagalStarsDavid McCallumSuzanne NeveCharles GrayIn World War II, an RAF squadron leader mourns the death of a comrade and receives a bombing mission against a secret German V-2 rocket testing facility in France.

- DirectorRobert AldrichStarsMichael CaineCliff RobertsonIan BannenA reluctant hero, American Lieutenant Sam Lawson, is seconded to a motley British unit tasked with destroying a Japanese radio on a Philippine island.
- DirectorHenry HathawayStarsRichard BurtonJohn ColicosClinton GreynIn 1942 Libya, a German-speaking British Intelligence officer uses former British POWs, some dressed in German uniforms, to fulfill a secret sabotage mission inside German-captured Tobruk.
- DirectorStuart CooperStarsBrian StirnerDavyd HarriesNicholas BallDuring World War 2, a young lad's called up and, with increasing sense of foreboding, undertakes his army training for D-day.Perhaps the greatest anti-war film of all anti-war films, but few people have had of this one and probably even fewer seen it.
I don't think I'll be revisiting this one anytime soon and not because it wasn't any good. - DirectorJack SmightStarsCharlton HestonHenry FondaJames CoburnA dramatization of the battle that was widely heralded as a turning point of the Pacific Theatre of World War II.
- DirectorJohn SturgesStarsMichael CaineDonald SutherlandRobert DuvallA German plot to kidnap Sir Winston Churchill unfolds at the height of World War II.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsPeter FinchCharles BronsonYaphet KottoTrue story of a daring Israeli commando assault on the Entebbe Airport in Uganda to free hostages of a terrorist hijacking.Hard to get hold of and not particularly widely regarded. This film has to have the better cast than 'Victory at Entebbe' with the likes of Charles Bronson and James Woods (among others). I think it's pretty good.
Mr Berg (dad) - 'Where are you going on the Sabbath'?
Sammy Berg (Commando) - 'I'm just going fishing with some friends'
Mr Berg - '...don't fall in' - DirectorJoseph SargentStarsGregory PeckDan O'HerlihyEd FlandersBiopic of General Douglas MacArthur covering his war exploits during WW2 and the Korean War.
- DirectorSam PeckinpahStarsJames CoburnMaximilian SchellJames MasonGerman commander Hauptmann Stransky places a squad in extreme danger after Sergeant Rolf Steiner refuses to lie for him.A manly, manly movie, not regarded as one of Peckinpah's better films, but it's a favourite, innovative and with great turns from Coburn, Schell and James Mason.
Seen it plenty and will see it plenty more. The ending is right up there with The Wild Bunch.
Cpt Stransky - 'I will show you how a Prussian Officer fights'
Steiner - '...and I'll show you where the Iron Crosses grow' - DirectorDick RichardsStarsGene HackmanTerence HillCatherine DeneuveDuring the 1920s, French Foreign Legion Major William Foster's (Gene Hackman's) unit is protecting an archaeological dig, but the discovery of an Arab sacred burial site prompts the angry Arab tribes to attack Foster's small garrison.Gene Hackman, the French Foreign Legion and hordes of savage North African tribesmen. Surrounded and with no chance of escape, there's only one battle in this one and it's at the end, but it's worth the wait. It's huge.
- DirectorEnzo G. CastellariStarsBo SvensonPeter HootenFred WilliamsonIn 1944 France, a group of escaped American military prisoners en route to Switzerland volunteers to steal a German V2 rocket warhead for the Allies.Far superior in every way to what Tarantino could manage. Not to be taken at all seriously, along with Tarantino, who when he said he wanted to do a homage to this and films like The Dirty Dozen must have been taking the pi$$.
Less smoking, talking and being cool and more 'war' makes a war film. - DirectorRichard AttenboroughStarsSean ConneryRyan O'NealMichael CaineOperation Market Garden, September 1944: The Allies attempt to capture several strategically important bridges in the Netherlands in the hope of breaking the German lines.In my all time top 10 films. It's got a reputation for being overblown. awkward and missing the mark, but was always going to be a tough ask putting such a complex story into a film and giving everyone in such a stellar cast something relevant to do and some meaningful screen time.
Got to be about the best cast ever assembled for a movie. Everything is epic and grand and it has some just brilliant moments, from the church vacating in reaction to the huge aerial armada passing overhead to the poignancy of defeated paratroopers resigned to their fate and awaiting captivity.
This is an anti-war film almost entirely, yet never rates a mention by 'Paths of Glory' fans. The ineptitude of the high command, the killing of women and children and the futility of sacrifice are all laid out and on display.
It's got some great urban combat scenes as well. Too many people are far too tough on this one. - DirectorTed PostStarsBurt LancasterCraig WassonJonathan GoldsmithDuring the early 1960s, U.S. military advisers in South Vietnam discover the same challenges that plagued the French army in Indochina ten years prior.
- DirectorAndrew V. McLaglenStarsRichard BurtonRoger MooreRichard HarrisA British banker hires a group of British mercenaries to rescue a deposed African President from the hands of a corrupt African dictator.My all time favourite movie. Seen it plenty and it's always just as good. It might not be a 'great', but if I have to watch one film before I'm gone, it's not going to be 'Citizen Kane' or 'The Godfather' that's for sure.
Awesome cast, awesome characters, great story, action, action, action..fun, fun, fun, ENTERTAINING! 10/10.
Father Geoghagn - "You murdering pig"!
Faulkner - "I haven't got time to discuss my finer qualities with you". - DirectorGuy HamiltonStarsHarrison FordRobert ShawEdward FoxDuring World War II, several oddly assorted military experts are teamed in a mission to raid and destroy a bridge vital to enemy strategy.
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallA U.S. Army officer serving in Vietnam is tasked with assassinating a renegade Special Forces Colonel who sees himself as a god.I like this but it doesn't make it high up on my lists. A favourite of many, like Full Metal Jacket I think this starts off great and starts to run out of puff after a while. I'm not sure FFC was trying to make a war movie and always thought it needed a bit more zing in the home straight.
- DirectorTom JeffreyStarsGraham KennedyJohn HargreavesJohn JarrattIn between drinking cans of Fosters beer, Australian soldiers tread on a few landmines, and generally experience the war in Vietnam.
- DirectorDouglas HickoxStarsBurt LancasterPeter O'TooleSimon WardA dramatization of the Battle of Isandlwana, where the British Army met its match against the Zulu nation.
- DirectorDelbert MannStarsRichard ThomasErnest BorgnineDonald PleasenceA young soldier faces profound disillusionment in the soul-destroying horror of World War I.
- DirectorSamuel FullerStarsLee MarvinMark HamillRobert CarradineA hardened sergeant and the four core members of his infantry unit try to survive World War II as they move from battle to battle throughout Europe.Never a big fan of this one until the reconstructed version made an appearance. I like it now. Didn't used to. Reconstructed = redeemed.
- DirectorBruce BeresfordStarsEdward WoodwardJack ThompsonJohn WatersThree Australian lieutenants are court martialed for executing prisoners as a way of deflecting attention from war crimes committed by their superior officers.
- DirectorAntonio MargheritiStarsDavid WarbeckTisa FarrowTony KingDuring the Vietnam war, an American soldier gets trapped behind enemy lines. A squad of his buddies sets out to rescue him.'Spaghetti Apocalypse Now'
Absolutely stupid and absolutely entertaining.
I love the smell of bolognese in the morning. - DirectorPeter WeirStarsMel GibsonMark LeeBill KerrTwo Australian sprinters face the brutal realities of war when they are sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I.
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsJürgen ProchnowHerbert GrönemeyerKlaus WennemannA German U-boat stalks the frigid waters of the North Atlantic as its young crew experience the sheer terror and claustrophobic life of a submariner in World War II.Not just a great war movie, but a great movie in any regard. A long movie that never drags or feels too long.
- DirectorJohn IrvinStarsChristopher WalkenTom BerengerColin BlakelyMercenary James Shannon, on a reconnaissance job to the African nation of Zangaro, is tortured and deported. He returns to lead a coup.An acquired taste film, with not a lot of war or action in it, but still a military movie all the same. Not particularly highly regarded or widely reknowned, I'm a big fan.
'Welcome to Zangaro'!
