I was going to add a few of my favorites, but how can you add to perfection??!!

[legionnaire]

I was going to add "The Pacific " but has not been released so is not yet considered a war classic?

Then there is the 2006 Australian war film in the tradition of the horrors of saving private Ryan -

[alden405]

hows about Once Before i Die (a stinker of the 1st water)

[VeeVee]

Oh that movie was horrible... I bought the VHS tape years ago because I was thinking it couldn't be that bad. But it was.

[legionnaire]

Hey Guys! it's considered a John Derek cult classic! ;D It's listed in the 11th line. This is not my numerical standing order on which is THE top best films.

[RayAdillO]

Once Before I Die is the ONLY movie ever made thus far which is about the PS cavalry, (or anything else about the PS), and for that, at least you see a reasonably acceptable if not dead set accurate portrayal of a U.S. unit of mounted Filipino troops wearing khakis and campaign hats officered by no less than John Derek, Ron "Tarzan" Ely and Richard Jaekel. It's got Ursula Andress when she was young and at the peak of her sex appeal. You can't beat that.



And they used a real sherman tank in the Philippines, something that will cost millions of dollars today just to do the same thing.

[legionnaire]

Don't forget the made in Japan war films too.

Port Arthur

Yamato

Zero

1945 For those we love

" Dawn of Freedom " propaganda Docu style made in the P.I.

[VeeVee]

Ray, I agree with you. Maybe I should dust off my VHS and watch it again. ;D
