[ianrauk]

Downfall (has one of the most distressing scenes I have ever seen in a movie)
Enemy At The Gates (only ruined by the silly love scene)
300 (cracking entertainment)
Come And See (as OP said, very brutal, hard to watch)
Battle Of The Bulge (Love Robert Shaw in this)
Deer Hunter (Stomach churning)
We Were Soldiers (Mel Gibson don't let that put you off... vietnam)
Black Hawk Down (relentless action movie, very faithful to the book)
633 Squadron (Those Mosquito planes)
Band Of Brothers (not really a movie - more a series, but brilliant never the less)
Cross Of Iron (Steiner taunting Stransky to go to battle is classic)
Letter From Iwo Jima (as seen from the Japanese perspective)

Stalag 17
Bridge On The River Kwai
Das Boot
Ran
A Matter Of Life And Death
Catch 22

At last! Also +1 for Das Boot. If you think the film is downbeat, try reading the book. Doubleplusbleak.

I liked some of Thin Red Line. Does Starship Troopers count?

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Lawrence Of Arabia

+1. The soundtrack alone is a work of art.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly. (set in the American Civil War)
Ditto the soundtrack.

Wahayyy Thanks peanut. I was thinking about that one, but couldnt remember what it was called.
Does it have a scene where they get captured by the Afgans, one gets tied to a rock and a grenade placed on his chest ? Certain death, but he wrigges out of it.

Awesome film...

Not a war film as such, but Flight of the Phoenix, anyone?

The original of course with Jimmy Steward and Dickie A... not the crap remake

 

[Bromptonaut]

Battle of Britain, 633 Squadron and The Dambusters.

 

[Noodley]

Apocalypse Now
Zulu
The Great Escape

Three good Saturday nights in with a few beers IMO

Which is another thing....whatever happened to 'Saturday Night at the Movies'?

All we get nowadays is reality bollocks, game shows and voting for some twat with no talent. Bring back old movies....
