Tears of the Sun, Act of Valor, Lone Survivor, We Were Soldiers, American Sniper

Sean McDonough

All of these are great.

Nick of Time

Had to give this one to Hacksaw Ridge, even though it's not doing to great in the poll. That movie is BRUTAL.

Neal Romanek

The Great Escape should be on everyone's war movie list.

Neal Romanek

Yeah, that's a classic.

Neal Romanek

Yep. I think it's one of the best movies, period.

Matthew Nesvig

Come and see definitely

TBR Schmitt

Yes! It is on our list :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Thank you, Louis! We have a long list and we are so excited to get through them all :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We'll try to get to them all! I've definitely heard it is a rough watch. -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Good Morning Vietnam is coming in July! We have both seen Inglorious Bastards, but the rest are on our list :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

It's dominating the poll! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Added! Thanks, Ian :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Both on our list! Thank you for the recommendations, Zach! -Sam

The 1964 Zulu film.

TBR Schmitt

1964 or 2013?! -Sam

Arki Kali

LOVE M&C.

Catherine LW

Not sure where you can watch that film. It’s not on any streaming service I have. I know it’s a controversial and intense film, and I admit, I’m afraid to watch it. 🥴

Catherine LW

Ditto that! Master & Commander is a masterpiece!

Shehab Dawoud

The Deer Hunter is a must when it comes to war films. Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep. Won best film in 1978

Louis Pedroza

Love the List (I hope you can post them All one by one) and I love all the suggestions. I’m with Zach for Master and Commander and Last of the Mohicans - and with both Ian Marsh’s and Mitchell Smilie’s entire list. I have not seen Come and See but might have to watch it soon on my own. Looking forward to your reactions 😃👍

Nerd Going Outside

Part of it is notoriety. I've never even heard of 'Come and See', whereas I suspect a substantial portion of the US population between the ages of, say, 30 and 45 or so saw Glory in school as kids. Plus it has performances from actors we know and love. Hard to compete with that!

Isaac Gadberry

I'm really sad that Come and See is losing this poll. While I don't dislike any of the movies on the poll, I don't see any one of them that can beat Come and See in terms of quality and emotional impact

Mitchell Smilie

Other war movies to consider for the future: Good Morning Vietnam (1987), The Great Escape (1963), Patton (1970), Paths of Glory (1957), The Deer Hunter (1978), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Casualties of War (1989) and Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009)

James Willingham III

Last of the Mohicans! Yes!!!

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Oh wow, it looks like Glory might win this one! That makes me so happy... it's definitely one of the more overlooked films from that decade.

TBR Schmitt

Yay! Full Length should be up tomorrow here as long as there's no issues :) -Sam

Ian

The Guns of navarone (1961) and hamburger Hill (1987) are another two great ones 👍

Zach Greenleaf

Master and Commander: Far Side of The World and The Last of The Mohicans!

Cav

Thanks! I bet it won't win a poll, but y'all might wanna give it a watch even if you're not filming a reaction. Kathryn Bigelow is somehow still an underrated director despite winning an Oscar.

David Crabtree

13 Hours!

FilthTribeFTP

0h well that just kicks so much ass, hell yeah. Thanks guys!

BoystanToytle

Zulu is quite a good movie

TBR Schmitt

You got it! It's on the list, we just tried to downsize the polls a little so there wasn't so much of spread (which clearly isn't really working), but I will make sure it's on the next war or action poll! -Sam

Cav

It's not really a war movie (or an action movie), but I'll recommend Zero Dark Thirty again. Y'all had it on a poll months ago and it never came up again.
