My top five favourite war movies:
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Come and See
3. Platoon
4. The Deer Hunter
5. The Thin Red Line
I'd also like to mention The Bunker, but it's less of a combat picture and more of a chamber piece.
M.A.S.H. and Catch 22 are also worth a mention, although they're black comedies.
