All Quiet on The Western Front has to be My choice.Even in these times of special effects and top Hollywood actors this film comes out on top.

Band of Brothers and Pacific are great series, but if we are listing our favorite war MOVIES, mine include (and I know these date me!)
Sahara
The Big Red One
The Longest Day
The Thin Red Line
A Bridge Too Far
Cross of Iron
A Walk in the Sun
and a fantastic movie that reveals the impact of war on young men
The Best Years of Our Lives

Just went through the old posts and I don't know how I forgot to include one of my all time favorite movies of any genre - The Young Lions!
