The film, based on the real-life story of coach Herman Boone, is the first film under Jerry Bruckheimer's new Technical Black banner, created so that the producer of "Armageddon" (1998) and "Top Gun" (1996) can make smaller-budget movies.

Jesse: You... are so full of crap. You didn't call anybody just now! You faked it. And you wanna know how I know? You got as much to lose as I do. More! Way more! When your "cops" get here and they bust me, first question they're gonna ask is what am I doing here, trying to hand over a hefty bag full of cash to a dude runs a vacuum cleaner store? What comes out then, huh?! Oh, and uh, you wanna know what else is bullshit? Y'know, like, word to the wise, next time you try to pull this shit on someone, you don't just hang up on a 911 call. They won't let you! Because the lady, or dude, or whoever, is like "Stay on the line with me, sir! Stay on the line until the officers arrive." And if you did hang up, they'd call you back immediately. But hey! Guess what? Seriously, yo! Pathetic.
War is a rough subject that's very hard to fully grasp if you haven't been there. With that being said, the world of cinema has managed to get the horrors and humor of war right a handful of times, according to the accounts of actual veterans who were actually present for the conflict. Is that all it takes to create one of the best war movies?
Realism is important, of course, but it may not mean a ton if a movie itself isn't a must-watch drama that civilians and those curious are looking to years in the future to understand just how grizzly these conflicts can be. The following are a list of films that hit that mark of best war movies in terms of realism and quality, listed in chronological order.
Unlike other popular war movies like Apocalypse Now, Stone's screenplay meshes his experience with the accounts of other Marines who were in the conflict. The result was a graphic and powerful performances by talented actors and a depiction of war that won't soon be forgotten. It's even hard to find a criticism on inaccuracies it shows, which speaks both to its realism and quality as one of the best war movies.
When one thinks of the best war movies, Saving Private Ryan may and definitely should be at the top of the list. The Omaha landing sequence is frequently referenced as one of the most accurate war scenes of WW2 in cinematic history which, quite frankly, is a terrifying thought. What's more impressive is the scene did not get a storyboard, and Steven Spielberg opted instead to direct his camera toward more spontaneous moments.
While Black Hawk Down is often lauded as one of the best war movies for its accurate combat depictions, it has found criticism for being a fairly one-sided account of the conflict. In reality American soldiers were aided by Malaysian and Pakistani forces, neither of which are represented in the movie. Additionally, Somali advocacy groups have noted the depiction of Somalis in the film is inaccurate, and it's worth noting no Somalis were cast in the film.
Mel Gibson's We Were Soldiers is a more modern film that chronicles the Vietnam War, and specifically, the Battle of la Drang. It's spot as one of the best war movies is backed by the numerous efforts made to maintain realism and recall the events of Hal Moore's memoir We Were Soldiers Once... And Young.
For all the movie gets right, it does bend the truth in showing the final charge by American forces. There was no such event, and the North Vietnamese were not destroyed. It's one of the big glaring differences, but for the most part, the rest are simply details that seem trimmed for the sake of shortening the story. Perhaps if a TV series was made, the full depiction of events could be brought to life.
There are plenty of great war movies and plenty of other realistic war movies out there, so if there are any that have been left off the list that deserve mention for an exceptional mix of quality and realism, drop it down in the comments below. We're always looking to add to our binge-watching lists anyway.
With the limited amount of free time most of us have today, it would be impossible to read all of these books or watch all of these movies. So Stacker has made it a little easier for you by rounding up the 50 best WWII movies of all time.
Many WWII movies are based on novels, including "Lore" which is based on Rachel Seiffert's highly acclaimed "The Dark Room." The movie follows a Nazi family as they flee across Germany to safety, their once-strong faith in the regime unraveling every step of the way. Despite its heavy subject matter, "Lore" has a fairytale-like feel thanks to its poetic cinematography and rural setting.
Dubbed by The New York Times' Manohla Dargis as "haunting, haunted, and beautifully shot," "In the Fog" tells the tale of a Russian citizen who is wrongly believed to be collaborating with the Nazis and, as a result, is set to be executed. The film explores the fog that war casts on our moral compass and ability to see things clearly. The movie competed for the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
After a 20-year absence from Hollywood, Terrence Malick returned to direct "The Thin Red Line," based on a novel of the same name, in 1998. While on its surface the film tells a fictionalized version of a Guadalcanal Campaign battle, its much deeper focus is on our inherent need to kill, and how that destruction seems to be at odds with our very nature. The star-studded flick, featuring the likes of Adrien Brody, John Cusack, George Clooney, and Woody Harrelson, has long been considered one of the best WWII movies of all time.
"Days of Glory" does something few other movies on this list can: It finds a new, urgent story to tell in a battlefield of well-trodden tropes. The movie follows soldiers from French colonies in Northern Africa who are fighting for their home nation while simultaneously facing discrimination from their brothers in arms. In real life, France froze the pensions of these soldiers after the decolonization of Africa in the '60s, and it wasn't until the release of "Days of Glory" that they were fully restored by President Jacques Chirac.
A comedy-drama, "Stalag 17" follows a group of American Air Force sergeants being held in a prisoner of war camp, who are trying to root out which one among them is a German spy. The film, directed by Billy Wilder, was based on a Broadway play of the same name, written by two men who had actually been interred in the camp. The movie's combination of seriousness (two would-be escapees are machine-gunned down in the opening scene) and gross humor helped it stand out among a flood of similar movies, and won William Holden an Academy Award in 1953.
Nominated for 13 Academy Awards and bringing home eight of them, "From Here to Eternity" is one of the best-decorated WWII movies of all time. The 1953 classic follows three soldiers stationed in Hawaii during the leadup to Pearl Harbor and is based on the novel by James Jones. Starring Hollywood greats like Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Donna Reed, and Deborah Kerr, the movie was added to the National Film Registry in 2002.
This is not only because it features an incredibly stylish depiction of Japan and Shinkansen travel, but because it stars the beloved Burapi (the nickname for Brad Pitt in Japanese). Pitt is a huge star in Japan and each of his movies are eagerly anticipated in the country.

Japanese movies can be seen at movie theaters across the country, which are often multi-screen complexes found in shopping centers and malls. Western movies are also shown at movie theaters, although typically a little bit delayed from their official releases in the West. These movies are usually offered subtitled or dubbed in Japanese. The typical price for watching a movie at the theater is 1800 yen.
The authors also include brief essays on a number of Corps-related topics: Parris Island, Saipan, Camp Pendleton, Peleliu, Okinawa, Camp Elliott, and "Learning Japanese." The four appendices also provide enlightening information. "A Few More Good Men" lists 36 other actors who served in the USMC - quite a few comedians - from Don Adams to Burt Young, with surprises such as Drew Cary, Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo), and former "presidential candidate" Pat Paulsen, to the not so surprising television and cinema actors Mike Farrell (M*A*S*H), Glenn Ford, Scott Glenn (The Right Stuff, 1983), Warren Oates, and Bo Svenson. James Whitmore is also on this list but your reviewer wishes that he had been accorded a full profile -- could anyone forget "Mac" in Leon Uris's Marine Corps classic film Battle Cry (1955)? A second appendix, "Lillian Russell and Women in the Marines" documents World War I Recruiting Sergeant Russell and traces the history of women in Corps through 1997, noting that Marine second lieutenant Sarah Deal became the first woman naval aviator in 1995. (What ever happened to Ensign Casey "Sugar Britches" Seeger from the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman who wanted to "fly jets"? She must have washed out.) Another addition is "The Swinging Sounds of Bob Crosby's Bands" profiles George Robert "Bob" Crosby, band director of the Fifth Marine Division in the South Pacific, 1944-1945. Lastly, "Entertaining the Troops includes 21 images and captions illustrating Hollywood stars who assisted or visited the troops - from Marion Davies in World War I through Charlton Heston in Vietnam. Mary Pickford, Joe E. Brown, Gary Cooper, Randy Scott, Danny Kaye, Jane Russell, Bob Hope, Martha Raye, and even John Wayne are among these luminaries. 2ff7e9595c
