I will watch and re-watch Patton every time it's on. I also like the movie "Das Boot"

Since Platoon and Full Metal Jacket aready got named, I guess I'll be the first to mention Apocalypse Now and Saving Private Ryan.

I don't know about the movies for All Quiet on the Western Front, but the book is fantastic. My favorite war movie is Grave of the Fireflies, which isn't exactly a typical war movie, but I'm not usually too into typical war movies. I kind of liked Apocalypse Now, though that may just be because I liked Conrad's Heart of Darkness (the book which the movie is largely based upon).

This list, as all my others concerning movies, is subject to change, and is in no particular order. Perhaps I will be adding The Eagle, once I see it in theaters.
