Best War Movie EVER: Boardsies Decide - Voting Thread

Weltsmertz

Full Metal Jacket. Two great movies in one.
And it highlights the absurdity of war rather than glorifying it.

sKeith

FMJ - excellent film. Both halfs

sydthebeat

Full metal jacket...

For "how tall are you soldier?... I didn't know they stacked sh!t that big..."

scotchy

A Bridge too Far.

Another star studded classic.

Great battle scenes too.

Full Metal Jacket - A really tough decision , but that female sniper and sucky sucky five dollar. Crass decision making , but iconic dialogue. Never mind chewing rifles in the shower, after bed time.

Trigger

Fmj, one of the all time best, think it might be the one left to beat

Necro

Full Metal Jacket proves A Bridge Too Far for... well... eh... A Bridge Too Far. 7-3 the score. I'll probably stop with the puns now


And that completes our quarter final line up!

IAMAMORON

Colin Farrell Colin Farrell ... Corporal Hancock

Did not happen surely?

Necro

In no particular order, your quarter finalists:

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. The Hurt Locker
3. The Great Escape
4. Hacksaw Ridge
5. Schindler's List
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. Good Morning, Vietnam
8. Inglorious Basterds

Quick smoke and I'll be back with the first QF.


This time it'll be first to 8 votes and I want a proper reason - 'cos Ireland won' won't be credited for example. Something about the film you're choosing tends to work :P

If things were made better just by who's been in them, why isn't Jordan winning MMA titles every year?

Damien360

I thought Inglorious lost out in last round or was that hope ?

Necro

Tis the hope that kills ya. The Basterds are still there


Ok let's get this place rocking for the QFs!!

Necro

Ok now this gets hard. As will be evident with this match up:


The Great Escape








VS






Schindler's List





First to 8 votes will progress to the final 4. And don't forget those reasons - these are your quarter finalists people show them some respect - or bury the opposition, whichever works

Remouad

3 of my 5 still in there!!

khalessi

Not hard at all The Great Escape

Krombopulos Michael

The great escape for the mcqueen bike jump and for two simple words that ended hope... "good luck"

The Great Escape, a great story portrayed brilliantly on the big screen

Banjo

I haven't seen it but while I was watching Prisoner of Azkeban my wife mentioned vthst it's really good and I'd like it. Accept my vote or you're calling my wife a liar!

IAMAMORON

The Great Escape - more iconic and an all over easier watch if I am honest, oh yeh and because it is basically nationalist propaganda for the far right movement in the UK.

TheValeyard

The Great escape. Just great fun and I don't feel guilty eating popcorn watching it.

scotchy

The great Escape.

2 entirely different WW2 "camp" films, and it really hurts to vote against Schindler's List, but memory's of watching this film on a Saturday night as a kid, waiting for the Motorbike chase:)

Schindler list. Stunning film. Unforgettable

TheValeyard

Think that's 8

Electric Nitwit

Schindler's List

Because "England's Barmy Army" have ruined the Great Escape (as well as Dambusters)

Also, let's be honest here, the motorbike thing is stupid

Necro

Nope, no reason given by khalessi.

7-3

This ain't getting any easier...


Saving Private Ryan

Hacksaw Ridge

You made the list.



A different kind of list.

Damien360

Hacksaw ridge. A true story more unbelievable than the film.

quickbeam

Saving Private Ryan

The Opening
The stabbing
The final battle
The fine cast, even Vin Diesel

Spook_ie

Hacksaw ridge, basically a true story

TheValeyard

Saving Private Ryan

1) Beach scene

2) sticky sock bombs

3) the ending

Krombopulos Michael

Saving private Ryan for the gruesome authenticity of the beach landing scene

Electric Nitwit

Damien360 wrote: »

Surely that's a vote against the film

Saving Private Ryan for me. I know it's not original to say, but that opening scene changed cinema

IAMAMORON

Saving Private Ryan - because it is fúcked up beyond all recognition

khalessi

Ohhhh two good movies but Hacksaw ridge as its an amazing storyline and Andrew Garfield did good job anyhow some of the boots in SPR werent issued till after the war

scotchy

Saving Private Ryan.

Great attention to Detail.
Great battle scenes.
The beach scene.
