Vote for your Favorite War/Western film.

Continuing on with the tournament!

Each user gets 10 votes. List 10 of your favorite War or Western films.

The top ten after the poll closes will move on to the fiinal tournament.

I will not be posting a list for you to choose from. It takes way too long. So you will just have to use your memory.

Saving Private Ryan
Fistfull of Dollars
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Platoon
Braveheart
The Great Escape

ill think of more later

When you do, edit that post. Multiple posts get mixed up.

My list:

Full Metal Jacket
Inglourious Basterds
Tombstone
Braveheart
Glory
300
Blackhawk Down
The Quick and the Dead
Good Morning Vietnam
Crimson Tide

War films? as in Inglorious Basterds? cause thats my favorite of all time. And i will only name war films cause i dont remember the names of westerns.

1. Inglorious basterds
2. Valkyrie
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. The Hurt Locker
6. Platoon
7. We were Soldiers
8. Troy (I consider it a war film)
9. kellys Hereos
10. Pearl harbor
11. 300 (it was a tie)

If it's war themed, it's all good. Same for Westerns. I almost put in Three Amigos.

Do Band of Brothers and Deadwood count? (HBO series)
Saving Pvt. Ryan
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now (sooo good)
The Great Escape (anyone else see this? I highly recommend it. It's about British and American troops in a German POW camp in WWII, and their efforts to escape. Steve McQueen plays a total badass.)
Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Sand Pebbles (Navy movie)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Hurt Locker.

Edit:
Since series are out of the picture, then I'll include Glory (Civil War) and The Last of the Mohicans (French and Indian War).

Im not sure if series count probbably not but if they do then the pacific, band of brothers and deadwood would be in my list.

Also i will look up that movie lol

I'm going to exclude TV series. We would open up a huge can of worms with that.

Saving Private Ryan is good
TOMBSTONE!!
The patriot
Bravehart
The last samuri

I will try to think of some more but I just can't seem to right now. If I do I will edit this post.

McLintock!

The Longest Day
I remember staying up late at night watching this with my grandfather before he passed away... Will always be the greatest movie for me!

I actually teared up. I havn;t thought of that in a long time.



The Longest Day
Kelly's Heros
We were Soldiers
Platoon
Blackhawk Down
Glory
Tombstone
Full Metal Jacket
Saving Private Ryan
Gettysburg

You're limiting yourself there DL. But I accept your list.

Full Metal Jacket

Western:
For a Few Dollars More
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
3:10 to Yuma(Original)
Gunfight at the OK Corral

A man must know his limits. Even someone as awesome, and godly as myself.

I place these limits on myself so I fit in with lesser beings.

The Great Escape (Probably the most suspenseful movie I have ever seen)
Saving pvt Ryan
Black Hawk Down
The Last of the Mohicans
Thin Red Line
True Grit
Back to the future 3
Brokeback mountain >.>
U-571 (also very suspenseful)
The Longest Day
The Hurt Locker

So you crossed out Back to the future 3 and kept brokeback mountain? Zillah....

The Hurt Locker
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

bump. Please keep it with just movies. There are some great tv series, but this is a movie poll.


In the words of Johnny 5 "NEED MORE INPUT!!!!"

No one else wants to vote? I'm about to move on.

Ok, Poll closed.

Results:

Saving Private Ryan 7 votes
Full Metal Jacket 7 votes
The Hurt Locker 6 votes
Platoon 4 votes
Glory 3 votes
Apocalypse Now 3 votes
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid 3 votes
Braveheart 3 votes
The Great Escape 3 votes
Tombstone 3 votes
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly 3 votes


This will make it 11. But the 7 way tie with 3 votes made it hard to eliminate one.

Blackhawk Down was eliminated as well because it already won in the action category.


Next Category.... How about Sci-Fi. Lots of us are geeks. I'll start that tomorrow.
