Charles Moore's Picks:

THE WILD BUNCH
BEN HUR-THE CHARIOT RACE IS AS MARTIN SCORSESE SAYS ONE OF THE GREATEST
PIECESOF FILM EVER CREATED/
HARD BOILED-CHINESE FILM MAKER JOHN WOO'S ACTION SEQUENCES ARE AMAZING
THE ALAMO JOHN WAYNE VERSION-WONDERFULLY DIRECTED, HAMPERED ONLY BY A SO SO SCRIPT-BUT MY FAVORITE PLAYSET OF ALL TIME
ZULU STILL THE GREATEST LARGE SCALE OUTDOOR EPIC EVER FILMED.
THEY WERE EXPENDABLE - JOHN FORD MADE THE MOST REALISTIC WAR FILM DURING WW 2
AIR FORCE - HOWARD HAWKES PROPAGANDA ABOUT A B 17 BUT GREAT FUN
SARGEANT YORK - HOWARD HAWKES AGAIN
THE THING-CHRISTIAN NYBY OR JOHN CARPENTER VERSION

Gary Binder's Choices:

"Band of Brothers" - it's not a movie, it's an experience!
"Saving Private Ryan" - a modern classic
"We Were Soldiers" - great look at the American soldier
"Fighter Squadron" - melodrama, but the last P47s in the USAF
"The Longest Day" - an obvious choice
"Battleground" - best infantry movie until SPR
"The Sands Of Iwo Jima" - the Duke at his very best with good cast around him
"Sink The Bismarck" - one of my favorite stories
"The Tanks Are Coming" - lousy story but lots of real Shermans!
"Pork Chop Hill" - Peck as a fine infantry leader
"The Lost Battalion" - a good WW1 movie
"Gettysburg" - best Civil War movie so far
