Favorite War Movie

Stealing the idea from the western thread, I though maybe we could do the same but w/ war movies.

Modern and Classic since this is a broad category put 2 for each if ya want

Classic- The Big Red One, Patton. Man there are so many more.

Modern- Saving Private Ryan- The first 20 minutes make it an instant classic imho. We Were Soldiers. Sam Elliot does a great job.
