alibi Posted July 16, 2007 Share #14 Posted July 16, 2007 Here is the a link to a website that is dedicated to war genre films and is taking a poll of top 50 war films. They are displaying a running count with the current and previous position of the film. The "voteing" is from anyone that wants to contribute and seems to be more of a popularity contest than by production values, acting, writing and etc. Any "top 50" or top 1000 list that includes Midway has to be something wrong. http://www.geocities.com/warmoviedatabase/etop50.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustykamel Posted July 24, 2007 Share #22 Posted July 24, 2007 My favorites are all fairly old movies but feature great actors and some humor: Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison with Robert Mitchum; From Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster and Montgomery Clift; What Price Glory with James Cagney and Dan Dailey; Hell in the Pacific with Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune; Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas and others.
