**** VOTE FOR ALL YOU WOULD WATCH A REACTION TO!! ****

I may watch more than top choice if others get lots of votes! Movies not chosen doesn't mean they will never be watched. They are still on my to-watch list so make sure you go upvote them on MOVIE REQUEST SITE

How did I make this poll? I went to my MOVIE REQUEST SITE, filtered by Genre 'War' and chose the movies I most wanted to see from the first page of requests (was looking for 'serious' war movies, not comedies)

If having issues voting - open the actual poll post, sometimes you can't vote just on the feed. If issues voting on mobile app-- try desktop!

So many great choices. I’m gonna vote for all of them and which ever one wins, I’m just excited to see Jen’s reaction to it 🔥

Starpartyguy

Regarding Das Boot, I walked into the theater thinking that the movie was in English. Instead it was in German with subtitles. It made me concentrate more on the characters than the dialogue. Wonderful stuff

Geoff S.

Another great poll! I hope Patton wins! I may be in the minority but I think Apocalypse is a little overrated. When I read When Eagles Dare all I can do is sing the Iron Maiden song in my head.

Over50Gamer

Gotta admit, I picked "none". Not much of a war movie person, with the exception of reading about WWII. Yeah, I'm some weird American for that. 😅

Rob Nichols

This poll needs an all of the above option.

Ron

If Apocalypse Now wins, I recommend the Theatrical Cut for first viewing (for pacing reasons).

Stefan Loferer

Great selection! I have to vote for Das Boot of course. The best german movie imo. I'd love to see your reaction to it, Jen!

Erik Lundmark

Where Eagles Dare (1968) might be one of the best of all time

John DiGiantomasso

Where Eagles Dare isn't getting a lot of love, which is a pity. Starring a young Clint Eastwood, it is perhaps the movie with the most plot twists ever. A Masterpiece written by Scottish Novelist by Alistar McClaine.

streaky

Who wants to bet if it comes out roughly in the order on the request site? ;)

Marco Borromeo

Puh. What a line-up.. But well, for me at least, easy to pick three: 1) Apocalypse Now (please, please, if possible, watch the Redux-version..!) That is cinema. That is art. That is an experience. The gold-standard. Almost equal to 2001-A Space Odyssey.. No more words can probably describe it (or thousands..) 2) Das Boot- The other, second all time gold-standard for (anti)war films in my opinion. Visceral as only pre-CGI works can be, focusing relentlessly on the German soldier/officer's view on (submarine) warfare and their perception if it. I also think it raises the basic question if a film can be rather a war or anti-war film, which might be interesting to discuss.. 3) Where eagles dare- One of the (or the) first action movie as we know them these days, back then, when there actually weren't any.. Young Clint in his prime, a striking story and - in a strangely over-dramatizing, but also tremendously entertainig way picturing WW II.. If you have a thing for WW II 'action/thrillers' (completely blending out all the real life horrors and consequences involving the Nazi-regime..) on a cinematic scale and taking place in a snowy, high-mountain scenario - is a classic. A must. Sorry for all the swooning😉But that's the cinephile talking.. 😌 PS: All of them belong on the (real) big screen. But well, try to get the biggest one you can find at least. (2001 would have so deserved it. Still shedding a tear for that..)

streaky

Aside from being a masterpiece in its own right, the behind the scenes of that movie is probably the most interesting of any movie probably ever, and absolutely saved by what sounds like one of the most difficult editing jobs in all of cinema history, maybe excepting the original Star Wars. It was part of the inspiration for Tropic Thunder is the sort of level.. I didn't know much about it until I read Rob Lowe's first book where he talks about how Martin Sheen changed after that movie (they were neighbours).

Jen Murray

It might, but honestly you'd be surprised how often it doesn't! Poll #100 didn't ☺️👍

streaky

It's fine I'm mostly kidding don't worry :)

Jason Scade

I disagree with watching the Redux version when you aren't familiar with the original cinema release, the differences will be lost on Jen as she's no previous viewings of it.

Jim

Glory is a movie everyone should see. Hands down the best of all of these.

Jason Scade

'Where Eagles Dare' is the 'Inglourious Basterds' of the 60s. Tarantino was obviously massively influenced by it. I cannot recommend W.E.D. highly enough. Quintessential WWII action. Richard Burton and Eastwood tear up the screen. Awesome taste and selection from the Producer.

Jason Scade

In the case of this particular movie, Theatrical, for first time viewing.

Code Monkey

Agreed 100% Theatrical cut all the way.

scott osborne

the last of the mohicans, we wre soldiers and glory

Marco Borromeo

You're right. I probably did not think about that deep enough.. Well, let's see which one will be the chosen one..😉

Samuel Simpson

Uncommon Valor (1983) with Gene Hackman/Patrick Swayze isn't on the list and is lesser known but watch it anyway please. I bet a lot of people would like it if they ever actually see it.

Jason Scade

Almost perfect poll selection. ♥ Everything is an excellent example of it's genre, with exception of Troy. It's not in same league as the rest.

Lee R.

Where Eagles Dare is definitely my ALL time favorite older movie hands down! I love all Alistair Maclean novels and movies, but this one is easily the best. Twists turns and shocks with an outstanding ending and a young Clint Eastwood!!! ❤❤❤

Jason Weiner

I'd watch Troy, the rest are too boring

Major Peril

Again the Producers come through with an amazing pick for Where Eagles Dare (1968). 👍 All around GREAT picks in this poll, I'd watch reactions to pretty much ALL. 😃

Kevin M. Pitts

The director’s cut of Das Boot is one of my all time favorites.

Clay F

Dang good poll. All good choices. Glad Apocalypse Now (1979) winning = my No. 1. My strong No. 2 is Glory (1989) (Denzel Washington won first Oscar), which is currently 2nd in poll. Also, really like The Last of the Mohicans (1992) and We Were Soldiers (2002). Honorable mention to Patton (1970). My top 5 in order: 1. Apocalypse Now (1979) 2. Glory (1989) . . 3. The Last of the Mohicans (1992) 4. We Were Soldiers (2002) . . 5. Patton (1970)

zynjams

please dont watch the directors cut of Apocalypse now, super boring scenes

Jack Mingle

Hamburger Hill, the best Vietnam War Film.

Brian's Dog

Your producer's pick is correct, trust your gut instinct.

John DiGiantomasso

I always loved the winter camouflage on the JU-52 transport in the beginning.

Bryan Tuck

Yeah; the original 1979 theatrical cut of Apocalypse Now is definitely the one I'd recommend for a first-time viewing. Coppola's decades-later recuts tend to be curiosities at best. He somehow made Godfather Part III even more of a mess than it was before.

Clay F

Yeah, the original 1979 theatrical for first-time viewing.

Greg In East TN

You really need to see Kelly's Heroes starring a young Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland! It's a classic. All my army buddies that were in tanks like me say it's their favorite movie. It's about a heist from a bank behind enemy lines. It is comedy/drama/adventure. You should also add Stripes to your list starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis (both of Ghostbuster fame and many others), John Candy and Judge Reinhold (from Beverly Hills Cop fame). They all join the army and make it crazy, then go on a crazy adventure. It's hilarious.

Patrick Turman

Jen, if Apocalypse Now wins, just make sure you haven't eaten anything before you see it.

Geoff S.

Another great war movie is Midway. Some heavy hitting stars in it too.

Byrd N. Hand

Personally I'd go with the Final Cut; it retains all the good stuff added in the 2001 Redux Cut and eliminates most of the chaff (I only wish it had left out the French plantation segment completely). 🤷‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand

@Jason -- To be fair, the differences won't matter to her since she'll have no frame of reference for them (à la those who saw the Director's Cut and/or Final Cut of "Blade Runner" without ever seeing the original theatrical cut). 🤷‍♂️ Personally, I'd opt for the Final Cut instead. It retains all the good stuff added in the Redux Cut and eliminates most of the unnecessary stuff added (I only wish it had eliminated the French plantation segment *completely*).

Byrd N. Hand

Final Cut for me, since it eliminates (most of) the totally unnecessary stuff added in the Redux Cut while still retaining the the stuff that further enhances the story.

Adam R

Mohicans and Glory. Jen will love the music on both of those! 🎶

Byrd N. Hand

I'd have "Patton" leapfrog "Mohicans" and then I'd completely agree with your top 4. While "We Were Soldiers" is decent, it's always created a sort of schism in my brain, since it's a Vietnam War movie that's essentially dressed up more as a WWII movie. I don't know; maybe it's because virtually every other Vietnam War film I've seen has addressed the dubious nature of America's involvement in that war in some way, which history has shown to be objectively valid (as well as for every other post-WWII war in which we've participated). 🤷‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand

Well, it is probably the least-known title here...

Byrd N. Hand

I'd prefer the Final Cut, if possible, since it retains the enhancements to the story added in the Redux Cut but also eliminates (most of) its unnecessary additions. I'll always push for what I feel is the best version of a film, and it's not always the original theatrical cut, IMO. I mean, who'd rather see the theatrical cuts of "Blade Runner" or "Kingdom of Heaven" over their respective director's cuts (or, more specifically, the Final Cut of the former)? 🤷‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand

I'd also add "The Boys in Company C," which is more in the vein of "M*A*S*H," and also includes R. Lee Ermey's first appearance doing his drill sergeant shtick that he would become more famous for in "Full Metal Jacket." Also another highly underrated Vietnam War film, "Go Tell the Spartans."

Byrd N. Hand

I would've like to have seen "The Deer Hunter" and "The Big Red '1'" included here as well...

Byrd N. Hand

And for me, "Troy" is the weakest title on here. Go figure... 🤷‍♂️

Brett Whittaker

The longest day too my favourite war movie

zynjams

to Hell and Back, the Audie Murphy story has been a personal favorite of mine

zynjams

the Best Years of Our Lives is a great movie about after a war and how effects the returning vets

Sarah Jane

Gallipoli is a serious and excellent movie about war (WWI), starring a young Mel Gibson.

Jason Scade

@Byrd I've only seen Redux once, but theatrical 40+ times. I slightly remember the French plantation scene, I think I almost fell asleep, it was so dead and lifeless and seemed so long. I think the point was to show how deathly worn out and numbed the French civilians were with the war and horrors. The Vietnam War is sometimes referred to as 'The 10,000 Day War'. Oh, I didn't know there was a 3rd edited version. Final Cut(?) 👍

Jason Scade

Keep this comment alive, I will find it! ♥

Happy Hanukkah

From your second sentence, I assume you mean the 1976 one and not the 2019 version, but you should probably make this explicit.

Happy Hanukkah

And I won't even mention how the Vietnam-war Apocalypse Now draws its inspiration from the 19th-century Congo novella Heart of Darkness. Oops. I did. :-)

Happy Hanukkah

Clay, out of curiosity, no love for Das Boot?

Jason Scade

@Greg What did you think of 'Fury' (2014). It's one of the best WWII films in modern times, for me it's up there with Hacksaw Ridge and Pvt. Ryan. "Best job I ever had." ♥

Geoff S.

Yeah definitely the 1976 version. Other is so bad I forgot it existed.

Byrd N. Hand

@Jason -- My main issue with the French plantation segment, apart from it bringing the film to a total standstill, is how it attempted to drag politics into an otherwise apolitical film. I've admittedly never seen the Final Cut (which Coppola apparently constructed in 2019 for the film's 40th anniversary), but, from what I've read, it sounds like the ideal happy medium between the theatrical and Redux versions. While it doesn't completely eliminate the French plantation bit, it at least apparently cuts the majority of it, and it *does* completely excise the other momentum-killing segment, the 'private time with the Bunnies' bit (which also creates a needless plot complication later in the film when they discover they're running low on fuel). It also cuts the one scene where we see Kurtz in daylight, which I didn't have a problem with, but, oh, well.

Jason Scade

🍻 It's the 'Inglourious Basterds' of the 60s. 💥 🦅

Matt Blanchette

The main actor who won an Oscar for it was from Nova Scotia!

Greg In East TN

I've only seen bits of Fury and haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge, or Pvt. Ryan. I don't care for movies full of vulgarity, profanity, and gore. It's not necessary.

Greg In East TN

Byrd, did you ever hear of The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr? R Lee Ermey was Brisco County Sr in the pilot for the comedy/sci fi series. It only lasted a season but it was hilarious!

Clay F

Happy -- I have not watched Das Boot.

Clay F
