Aliens is a better movie but neither are war movies IMO.

Is this a vote QB?

Empire involves an actual war.

Zaph

The Empire Strikes Back, it's an actual war between good and evil. Aliens is just about which race can wipe out the other first. :Pac:

Or Aliens is a group of soldiers going to rescue colonists and end up at war with an alien species?

Kolido

Who am I to say what is and isnt a war movie. Aliens is great, not a SW fan.

Also, Jaws is gonna win the whole contest, isnt it?

Green&Red

Aliens, never been into Star Wars

What are other wars about?

Necro

Lol, this is gonna be controversial but quickbeam did not indicate that Aliens was her vote. Therefore, Empire Strikes Back wins 5-4

Other wars didn't need a reason for their vote to count

Good Morning Vietnam.

one of my selection. Robin Williams, excellent actor.

Green&Red

Dances with Wolves? Why didn’t you just put bambi in there too

This is a shambles already


Good morning Vietnam cause there’s an actual war going on

Krombopulos Michael

This is easy

Good Morning, Vietnam. Williams character was amazing, and the bit when he goes against the censors was brilliant, and when driving off base, he gets up in the jeep and talks to the soldiers being deployed. Brilliant film and one of my faces for Robin WIlliams

fixXxer

Good Morning Vietnam. It will make you roar with laughter and leak with tears. Captures the American side of that conflict very well.

Banjo

Good Morning Vietnam.
The true horror of war is the people you're stuck out in the bush spending several years with who just won't just the **** up and you're not sure if you're praying for a stray bullet to hit them or you as long as the misery ends.

Necro

It's a massacre - Good Morning Vietnam advances by way of fatality

ZV Yoda

That's not even a fair fight. Good Morning Vietnam. Robin Williams at his best.

Honourable mention for Kevin Costner's hair in Dance with Wolves. It should have won the special effects Oscar.

Electric Nitwit

Ha ha ha ha, Dances With Wolves

Just arrived, what have I missed...?
Oh, one of my picks beaten by bloody Star Wars

Just like Vietnam

Banjo

As I look back, we did not dance with the wolves, we danced with ourselves, and the wolves were us. I should never have been nominated for this vote, Grandma....

Up next two classics collide and I'm going to eat lunch before you all lynch me :pac:

The bridge on the River Kwai

Casablanca

Casablanca - great dialogue, and it shows what's really important in any conflict : ordinary people not "getting their hole" because of that damned war!

rameire

The Bridge on the River Kwai
watched it so many times and can easily watch it again and again.
great story.

Green&Red

Bridge over for me, classic war film

Krombopulos Michael

The bridge on the River Kwai

The conditions they worked in and suffered. They became institutionalised for the creation of the build, even though the allies wanted it blown up.

Tabnabs

River Kwai every time



Show's the treatment the Japs gave to POWs. Murderous scum.

mrsoundie

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Just an awesome film and the portrail of the conditions that the Allied prisoners had to endure, which by the way the Japanese have never properly apologised for.

Necro

Need a reason folks, you can edit it into your post if you like

Green&Red

You’ll need a reason there tabnabs

Kolido

Casablanca, cos we'll always have Paris.

Tbh I havent seen the other but Casablanca is one of my favourite movies.

scotchy

Though choice

But, The Bridge on the River Kwai

For Alec Guinness.

.

ZV Yoda

Casablanca is a classic movie... but in terms of "war movies", River Kwai fits the bill perfectly, so it gets my vote. It has Alec Guinness too - before he was a Jedi Knight

TheValeyard

The bridge on the River Kwai


Just a very heart felt film.

Necro

Bridge Over The River Kwai advances 5-2

Next one up is another battle royale cos I've gotta collect one of the young uns from creche

First Blood all the way. Anyone who doesn't feel pain and eats things that would make a billy goat puke gets my vote every time.

Krombopulos Michael

First Blood.

I liked the ingenuity of Rambos traps in the forest against the local sheriffs deputies and it highlighted how crap things get for those post war.

fixXxer

Putting all the movies I've not seen in the one post is very good of you.

Abstention!
