War movies... Your short list...

[the harp unstrung]

When I hear the name "Kursk" I think of the submarine named Kursk that sank in the Arctic Ocean.
It was my first year as a Teacher.
The world's navies came together for the rescue effort...it went on for days, maybe even a week, and I was Absolutly Sure that 'we' would find a way to bring them home.
It makes me very sad, even now, to think of it.

Kursk was pretty decisive battle as well.

Worst War Movie Ever Made:
Pearl Harbor

Worst ever: Jar Head.

Most folks that were in the Military and anyone who has served in a theater of action finds this movie pretty heinous. When my brother and I went to theaters to watch it. There were several other vets ( like my brother and I ) and we pissed and moaned through the entire thing. We actually laughed out loud at some parts it was so ludicrous.

Casablanca. Not really a war movie, but set in a war. So, close enough for me.

Plus, movies with explosions, car chases, and naked women. Yeah, I'm juvenile. Those don't have to be war movies. I don't get out much.

My dad (84) says if it does not have any fighting, shagging, car chase, or something blown up in the first ten minutes, it won't be worth watching.

Three Kings! I forgot about that. Loved it.

Another good one that I'd forgotten.

IIRC, there's a Russian one called White Tiger that takes place during the Battle of Kursk... could be wrong, though. Looks like a good war movie, though, from the snippets I've seen on You Tube. It's on my "buy it" list...
