Help pick the War movie we will react to!

Please feel free to suggest other options in the comments for future polls!

*We received a ton suggestions on the last polls, but we are trying to keep the poll sizes more reasonable. We have noted all suggestions for future polls!

NOTE: I have seen The Patriot, so this will only be Sam's first time watching and Sam has seen The Pianist, so that will only be my first time watching!

I grew up on Kelly's Heroes. Love that movie 😂

Paul Cox

I'll vote for The Great Escape every time it comes up.

Anthony Perez

I concur...and no one else reacts to it...great movie great cast.

Deano

Enemy at the gates ❤️

J.C.

Come and See 1985

Domino

I'm not very much into war movies but The Thin Red Line is one of my top ten favorite films. That movie is poetry. I came out enthralled when I first saw it in theaters, and to this day it gives me chills.

Jonathan Patrick

Voted for Thin Red Line and Memphis Belle. Many actors in Thin Red Line (John C Reilly, Sean Penn, Don Harvy) were chosen bc their roles in "Casualties of War" (1989) I'm still rooting for it to be reacted to someday. Lol

Allan Newell

It is interesting how the movies with the most votes are the most recent. Patton has so many Oscars including best picture, director, actor, and writing.

ED209

Maybe it's because I'm not american, but I will never understand the love for The Patriot. I find it to be cliched trash. Also "light spoilers" hardly patriotic when the hero has to be given multiple major personal grievances to fight for his country.

Paul Cox

I'll never be able to predict winners in these polls, because older films are doing poorly here, but Planet of the Apes is blazing through the Sci Fi poll.

Robert Boyd

THE THIN RED LINE is excellent. The cinematography is a thing of beauty.

Ken Veader

Casualties Of War would fit on a poll like this. One of Brian DePalma's best.. The Great Escape should win this poll though, one of the best WW2 movies of all time and 60's classic

Ken Veader

Nah, I'm American and I love Mel Gibson as an actor but I don't like the director of that film

Elisa Pfau

Not just cliched, but a zero calorie diet of propaganda. It's one of the most dishonest movies I've ever watched.

Thomas Yanez

Maybe. Could be horror, too. But it's a war movie from end to end. And the opening is amazing.

Elisa Pfau

equal parts horror and war

Erwin Quiachon

If you ever react to Maverick, it might help to watch "The Right Stuff" (1983) first. I would argue that The Right Stuff, along with "The Natural" (1984) are better companions for Maverick than the original Top Gun.

Paul Cox

Word. I'm trying to get them to watch THE RIGHT STUFF the same week they watch APOLLO 13, which is the most perfect fit that ever existed.

Erwin Quiachon

But, I remember that Daniel is an engineer, so he probably won't be as lost as other reactors who watched Maverick. Maverick does have a lot of Right Stuff references outside of the engineering.

Raymond Johnson

Here's a suggestion for the future: Heartbreak Ridge (1986) with Clint Eastwood. It's sort of the answer to the question, "What if Dirty Harry was in the army?" It has more character development than you might expect, some good humor, and those mid-80s action movie vibes.

Shyam Nair

Braveheart for a future war movie poll

Kevin Charley

Patton is the best movie on this list by far

Florian Meier

Second for Heartbreak Ridge, Another Great War Movie of Clint Eastwood is "Where Eagles Dare" from 1968 With Richard Burton as Co Star

Florian Meier

Attack Force Z from 1982 with Mel Gibson is Another Great War Movie and "Hell in the Pacific" from 1968 with Lee Marvin and of Course "Where Eagles Dare" from 1968 with Clint Eastwood

David Crabtree

The Patriot! One of my all time favorite films!

Stephanie

War Horse is so underrated. It's such a shame that it doesn't get more votes.

Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast

Perhaps the 1976 film (The Eagle Has Landed) starring Michael Caine, Donald Pleasance, Donald Sutherland & a young Jenny Agutter. Tony & Sam, you will recognise D. P. as the Dr. from Halloween.

MikeLL

The Great Escape and Patton got my vote here, but I could also recommend The Dirty Dozen (1967) as a very gritty and testosterone filled sixties war movie.

Justin

I would highly recommend all of these movies but I think you would really enjoy war horse!

Grand Moff Slackin'

Don’t forget nuclear war: Threads, The Day After, By Dawn’s Early Light

chris brown

Kelly's Heroes could also go on a Clint Eastwood poll

William 1611

You can't go wrong with any of these, but "Patton" is a must-watch, both because of its historical importance and because of George C. Scott's Oscar-winning performance. "Memphis Belle" is very underrated, and has some action sequences that'll knock you out of your chairs.

Michael Buhl

A Bridge Too Far would be a great one to add to the list. Actually, so would Catch 22.

Webwyrm

Enemy At The Gate was one of my fathers more modern favorites. Good film.. good acting. He would have voted for The Great Escape and Kelly’s Hero’s. Which I did lolol

Webwyrm

I just posted the same recommendation

Webwyrm

HB Ridge is pure gold

Richard B

Patton would be interesting because he's a polarizing figure and the connection with 101st Airborne (Band Of Brothers). Another perspective of the battle of Bastogne.

Erwin Quiachon

Patton is a classic because it earned it's Academy Awards with unique acting and writing that became common cultural references. Francis Ford Coppola won his first Oscar for writing Patton, which saved him from getting fired from directing the first Godfather movie. It's definitely a landmark in the way it steered the future of cinema.

OddThomas

I would like to suggest a criminally underrated war movie: Testament of Youth (2014). Told from the female perspective back home during WW1. Heartbreaking.

MikeLL

It's no surprise it will win this poll.

Robert Cintron

Voted for "Kelly's Heroes", I absolutely love that movie. But not going to lie, so many bangers on this list.

dieselbeast

Going to throw in two suggestions for next time American sniper with Bradley Cooper and The Alamo from 2004 I believe, I was raised in Texas and went to school in Texas so I don't know if outside of Texas they taught the history of San Antonio and the Alamo and the whole Texas Independence story

Jeffrey Miller

It's been a long time, but I remember liking 'Memphis Belle'. I'd be good with anything besides 'The Patriot' really

Jeffrey Miller

I'm American and I think it's complete schlock full of absolute BS. It's depiction of slavery is absolutely disgusting and unforgivable. They might as well have put halos on the colonists and devil horns on the British. A third grader could write a story with more nuanced morality.

Robert Boyd

Yes, Casualties of War is excellent and one of Brian De Palma’s best films.

PIG

lol I saw The Patriot waaaay back when it came out on VHS. Was it the corniness that got you, Miller?

Jeffrey Miller

That's part of it. It's just over the top with the British being depicted as so evil it's laughable. I'm not a stickler for historical accuracy, but I think the film perpetuates some harmful misconceptions about history, especially in it's depiction of slavery. Even the Revolutionary War wasn't so clear cut. Most colonists didn't support the war. Also, I think Mel Gibson is a garbage human being.

Armchair Rizzard

I just hope Fury doesn't win. For reasons I can't say as to not spoil.

Smooticus

I'm with you on this

James

The Pianist is the most underrated movie on this list. The Patriot is the most overrated

Forrest

Agreed. Love the Patriot but I voted for the Pianist. Have recommended it previously in comments because it's such a great movie, and I don't know many people who have seen it. I'm not sure if they've seen an Adrian Brody film yet either.

OddThomas

I know, right! The Patriot is soooo overrated

Alex

I think the Patriot is a great movie for all who love the USA. Really great film. Not only shows triumph over adversity but highlights the importance of guerrilla tactics when fighting against a stronger foe.

JayWantsACat

I LOVE The Thin Red Line. I'd love to see what you two think about it. But it might be a tough film to react to. Malick is one of my all time favorite directors but his style is a bit...abstract-ish... But his films are beautiful and works of art, in my opinion.

Godwolf

13 hours would be a great one to watch

David Wilkins

I agree with all of that. TTRL is an absolute work of art, and that’s a tough adjective to apply to the vast majority of war movies. But I do think it would work well in reaction. My opinion will probably be a hard sell, given the current vote counts, but the three that are in the lead disappoint me, and it highlights what I’ve said in the past about the nature of polls in general. The Great Escape is good for its era, but it also suffers from the limitations inherent to that era. And the other two in the lead? NO. But that’s just me.

VivendoBem

The Thin Red Line is tremendous and so, so beautiful. You could put it on.mute on a big screen TV and it would be like a painting that moves. Every frame is exquisite. May or may not be.a successful reaction, but it wouldn't be a waste of time.

Miles E Coburn

For the next War / Military Movies Poll I would suggest adding, "We Were Soldiers" (2002).

Elisa Pfau

If they watch threads because of you, you're obligated to pay for at least part of TBR and Sam's therapy
