how would you great posters of the lounge consider grave of the fireflies?

is it a war film?

if it is, shame on you for not even mentioning it...

Passchendaele (2008) (great story, realistic portrayal of war)

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) (historically accurate)

Black Hawk Down (2001) (realistic battle scenes)

The Thin Red Line (1998) (great cinematography)

I have always said that I thought the first half (boot camp) of "Full Metal Jacket" is the greatest movie ever made, but the second half is just very good. That said, I guess I would say it's the best war movie, IMO....followed by "Platoon".

I think "Apocalypse Now" is one of the more overrated films in history. It's overly long and having watched it recently I thought the acting and was shockingly bad.

I'll go with Apocalypse now.

I think the second half of Full Metal Jacket is just as good as the first half but yea you're right, platoon is an all around "better movie"
