Anyone can recommend some historic war movies other than WW2 or Vietnam. I have Waterloo, Gettysbug and Zulu. But there must be more ....[:)] Braveheart is also ok, but to much fictional elements.

I want to throw in some movies which are rarely named: Winter War (finish quite realistic and gritty), Bridge Of Remage (yes, it may be more action but has good charcters and German side is also potraied also not much herosism and patriotism), A Thin Red Line (not really a War movie in the sense but a drama about humanity with very good actors, good music, nice landscapes and also some good action!) Seems the last one is not liked that much by some people, I wonder why it is better than Ryan for example.

Of course the "ultimate" movies may be Das Boot and Apocalypse Now (even it the latter is also a movie more about humans than war like A Thin Red Line).

Being a fan of Akira Kurosawa's films I'd put his epic Ran on the list of War movies worth seeing. Although it is based on a fictional story it is still very good for fans of the feudal period in Japan.

Glory is a very good film for the American Civil War. It is based upon historical events. I also like the Charge of the Light Brigade which tells the story of the famous charge during the Crimean War. Master and Commander is a good film. It is based upon a work of historical fiction by Patrick O'Brian, but the book was inspired by actual historical events and people. I also like the TV series Sharpe. It is based upon a series of historical novels by Bernard Cornwell - but those novels were in part inspired by the memoirs of Rifleman Harris (Link). I also agree with OldSarge with regards to the work of Akira Kurosawa: very atmospheric.

All those suggestions and I never saw a mention of Bridge Over River Kwai or The Big Red One.

DownFall.

A BRILLIANT Movie Curtis. Good choice.

Bruno Ganz's performance is spellbinding.

[Saint Ruth]

Downfall

Letters from Iwo Jima

Come And See

If yee haven't seen Come And See yee should watch it.
It's a Russian film about Partisans in Belarusia.
Very moving film.

(Oh, Bridge Too Far is great too).

[danlongman]

The very best was U-571 it had Bon Jovi!!!
And there was one with Kate Beckinsale with boats not werewolves.
Lots of real good explosions!!

We were soldiers
Apocalypse Now
Downfall
Paths of Glory

The Longest Day

Also consider seeing The Seven Samurai. A war movie in a hashion, also something like an Old Western style film set in fuedal Japan.

[danlongman]

And remade as the western "The Magnificent Seven" with that incredible
Elmer Bernstein score. In Mexico.

[SLAAKMAN]

Three more-
Mother Night
Slaughterhouse 5
Seven Beauties

I'll just mention three that haven't been listed yet that I love:

Downfall

Flags of Our Fathers

Gods and Generals

Doh! Silly me how could I have forgotten those? [:o][:D]

[wesy]

In no particular order:

Tora Tora Tora - Great sets, historically accurate, not a propaganda movie.
Letters from Iwo Jima
Taiheiyo kiseki no sakusen: Kisuka - A Japanese movie from the 60's about the evacuation of Kiska in 1943.

[Hexagon]

1- Kelly´s heroes, not pure war film but is a great mix of war movie+spagetti western+comedy+road movie
2- Letters from Iwo Jima, the final scen with letter falling
2- Saving private Ryan
3- The Enemy Below

[Gilmer]

Would you consider To Kill a King a war movie? It had some war stuff in it. I thought it was pretty good. It is about the English Civil War. Very good. Very interesting.
