Im going The Dirty Dozen. Watching them fight among themselves then slowly band together was great, although Telly Savalas won it for me with his psychotic role as maggot.

Thin Red Line has some great battle scenes in it but a little too "oh look at my cinematography" about it

Iron sky was ridiculous but funny.

Remouad

Dirty Dozen
Lee Marvin, Telly Savalas and Charles Bronson in the same movie and at the top of their game.
Great Premise.

Terminator 2: Judgement day - Instant classic and excellent wartime strategy by the machines to try to take out the enemys greatest solidier before he was born, but i doing so that, force the ristance to send back that same mans father. brilliant stuff.

God it was tedious in places. A good edit could make it amazing, but the version released was too much

Terminator 2 is not a war movie but it gets my vote

scotchy

Doctor Zhivago.

Never really thought of it as a war film, but a great David Lean movie with a great cast. always had a thing for Julie Christie;).

Necro

4 votes for T2

2 for Dirty Dozen

2 for Iron Sky

1 for Dr. Zhivago

So far

The chase scenes, the villain, the lines are all epic. And Sarah Connor in the mental hospital is bad ass.

Green&Red

T2 please, unbelievable sequel

Dirty dozen is an awful film

Necro

Terminator 2 takes it with Murdoc's reason given

Beautiful movie in places. Pretentious otherwise. But I love the views of that hill the shadows of clouds moving over the wind-blown grass creating waves of sun and shade. I can almost feel the wind on my face when I watch it.

The bunker assault was very well done too.

Were there any votes for Twelve O'Clock High, by the way?

Necro

Next up- Ed Harris, Nic Cage and Sean Connery were popular with some voters earlier... surely when they collaborate it's a no brainer... :pac::pac:

For this alone your future votes should be disallowed!

Look.

T2 Shouldn't have won. It's not really a war movie.

BUT

At least let some good come from this. If you're not sen Iron Sky, then please go watch it. Its great. So so great.

And there's my reason for voting The Rock.

It's pure guilty pleasure. The best of Michael Bay with only some of the worst of Michael Bay.

Ah lads, that's like voting for O'Driscoll as the best footballer of all time

The Rock because its Nicolas Cage in his prime

Remouad

The Dam busters
Because it's epic.

And because The Rock is not a war movie.

Zaph

Dam Busters, if only for the theme music which is an all time classic.

Electric Nitwit

Dam Busters

The Rock is amazing but it is not war film!

Hoboo

Based on real events, Dam Buster's for me. Special effects for the time as well.

The Rock as I liked the car chase with the Ferrari

Kid On Motorcycle:
Dude, you just f***ed up your Ferrari.

Stanley Goodspeed:
It's not mine.

And neither is this. *steals motorcycle*

Nice coordination

Murdoc90

Who nominated these??

The Rock, for Ed Harris playing a great villain.

The Rock actually doesn't even have a hint of it being a war movie. Terminator 2 does have a war between humans and machines looming in the background so there is a tenuous link.

Sudden Valley

Dam busters. Rock is a great movie but where's the war?

scotchy

The Dam Busters.

Rainy Sunday afternoon black and white classic with great theme tune.

The Rock isn't even a war film.

.

Necro

4-4 here, tighest match up so far

fixXxer

Dam Busters as its a war movie.

The rock isn't a war movie, theres just some soldiers in it.

Necro

The Dam Busters break out of The Rock just in time. 5-4. Tight battle though

Necro

Next up and another... I'm gonna say intriguing fantasy VS reality battle

The Hurt Locker

Ah here.

sKeith

The Dam busters,


While the rock is a good war movie, dam busters while not really a war movie is enjoyable to watch.

Krombopulos Michael

The hurt locker.

Great action. Slow mo of the bullet casing drop onto the dirt was insane and jeremy renner was great.

Sudden Valley

Great synth music in Masters but prefer the Hurt Locker.

Electric Nitwit

Hurt Locker

I'd have it win this whole tournament. The tension of the bomb disposal scenes is incredible, and the adapting to real life scenes are heart breaking

Hoboo

Crying laughing here, as much as I love He-Man



Hurt Locker

quickbeam

The Hurt Locker because it meets the entry criteria

Necro

You know what I'll take that as a reason this time around :pac:

sKeith

Hurt locker just isn't realistic, all made up fantasy.


He-man on the other hand is excellent war movie to eat popcorn to.

storker

Hurt locker because it's actually a war movie.

Necro

Hurt Locker wins 5-0

Peatys

Hurt locker. Really enjoyed the tension.

Remouad

Hurt locker.
Haven't seen it but have seen Masters of the universe.

Electric Nitwit

Just seen The Hurt Locker is on netflix, might watch it tonight

FortuneChip

Look, Masters of the Universe was great and everything, but fully expect The Hurt Locker to be in the semi-final.

There's so many great scenes filled with tension.
Jeremy Renner in one of his best performances, such a fascinating character, and it's just so bloody tense.

Love it.
