You can use whatever rating criteria you like; influence, shock factor, whatever... What do you think are the TOP 5 BEST WAR MOVIES THAT YOU'VE EVER SEEN in your opinions... Here are mine:
#1 Apocalypse Now
(Does 'Schindler's List' count as a war movie? I'll assume not...)
#2 Paths of Glory
(Not sure if 'Dr. Strangelove' counts as a war movie...)
#3 The Thin Red Line
#4 Full Metal Jacket
(Do 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly' or 'The Pianist' count? I don't know...)
#5 Saving Private Ryan

What do you guys think are your top 5? Also, could somebody clear up my queries please...
