[@ailiahaider]

[@BradSumrall]

Hacksaw Ridge Hyena Road

[@Sergio-cj2rg]

All quit on western front new version should be on this list

[@charlesdavidmazon8165]

Where's 12 Strong?

[@williampayton9515]

Tears of the Sun. Platoon

[@GracielaBellido-g1b]

I can't believe Hacksaw Ridge isn't on this list. It's such a good movie.

[@SpaceRanger187]

1917

[@brynroberts5615]

full metal jacket; one of the best movies ever

[@elegalism1]

Great movies

[@SpaceRanger187]

Its hard to do a top ten.

[@leesaunders8407]

Mosul - an incredibly underrated Movie about an Iraqi SWAT team taking out ISIS.

[@RobertoGonzalez-vu1ip]

Excellent list, I will add as a bonus "Tears from the Sun".

[@bryankobe9197]

Agree

[@cgilleybsw]

yes sir

[@leemarcelino7357]

[@beninghamonsang1280]

It's " Tears of the Sun " 👍

[@rashawnbanks148]

@@RobertoGonzalez-vu1ip yes💯

[@jdw174]

If you haven't seen it, you need to watch "Danger Close" about the Aussies in Vietnam. Very good war flick.

[@JaneDoe-go6ix]

TYVM! I just watched the trailer and about to watch the movie. Looks exactly like my type of military movie.

[@vennvenncollins7225]

True

[@Primaate]

'Danger Close' is as accurate portrayal on the 1966 Battle of Long Tan, you're ever going to see. ~100 Diggers v 3000 NVA and VietCong. I went to Battle ground and Nui Dat recently. (Dad 9Sqdn RAAF pilot '68) Vietnam and Vietnamese are amazing... go visit asap 🇦🇺🇻🇳

[@barrycordell2319]

Thanks for the input.

[@barrycordell2319]

What streaming service?

[@RedDawn1203]

Sub par list. Missing platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now to name a few.

[@IronSikh44]

Agree. Hamburger Hill wasn’t a big budget movie but very realistic.

[@dukes70]

You could add The Deer Hunter too

[@AmitaiUriarte]

12 Strong should have been on this list.

[@vennvenncollins7225]

True

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

I agree, a great film.

[@DavidBurksgeneralprofilepublic]

We were soldiers! It's my vote for best of all time. But there are several great ones I agree.

[@SouthernStacker]

Oh hell yeah!!! Col Hal Moore/Mel Gibson an Sam Elliott! One of the greatest ever!

[@webdev217]

Great movie.. but All time?? hmm

[@spencerroberts1770]

Definitely better than some of the 10-6 ones.

[@SpaceRanger187]

Its in the top 20

[@BoltonOverlander]

Not really a movie but Band of brothers was amazing

[@perezprince]

Absolutely

[@SpaceRanger187]

Its top 3 of best ever and ever will be

[@graedy2]

The Netflix production „Mosul“ is a hidden gem in this category

[@barrycordell2319]

Agreed! Great movie and story line!

[@webdev217]

Watched the trailer just couldn't get into it. Thanks though.

[@jacobspitzer1614]

all quiet on the western front is probably the most "authentic" portrayal of war ive ever seen. very dark but real and a captivating insight on the horrors of what i would call a forgotten war.

[@kukuy-b5c]

Black Hawk Down is No.1 in my heart

[@rashawnbanks148]

Very good movie

[@BloodAngelsSpaceMarineIX]

I've watched all of those military action movies before in the past, except for Sisu (2022). I'll be sure to watch that one next. Thanks for the recommendation🙏!

[@CineGoldPresents]

Enjoy!

[@timboll1]

I've seen all of them but The Covenant. Gotta check it now.

[@marrkcrear2946]

I’m going way back! How about the movie, GLORY?! Intense and powerful!!

[@felipenascimentomello7366]

Hacksaw Ridge is one of the best war movies i have seen! Another one missing is Platoon

[@cgmax7]

The most underrated military movies......The Ambush, Megan Leavey, American Sniper, Behind Enemy Lines, Greyhound, Outside The Wire, Land Of Bad, Kilo Two Bravo, Kandahar, Sand Castle, Tears Of The Sun, The Siege Of Jadotville, The Patrol I have more list if you i can comment List of documentary, web series and movies let me know 👍👍

[@lawrencewilliams2689]

Honorable mention: 12 strong

[@nathanc3569]

The Seige of Jadotville is so good

[@jasonanderson8892]

Special Forecs, starring Djimon Hounsou!

[@alexlanning712]

your list emphasises that war isnt just an American hobby

[@sharkfinfinds2782]

Hacksaw Ridge, Land of the Bad, Danger Close, Hyena Road. check these all out. 🤫

[@thevillageyid]

Sicario and Sicario 2 arent full blown military action, but they both have some phenomenal "operator" action scenes.

[@DamionJR4923]

Band of Brothers isn’t a movie but it’s number one by a long shot.

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

Completely agree.

[@frankyu4967]

Good starting point, except I would add the Clint Eastwood film “Letters from Iwo Jima”. Cheers!

[@CineGoldPresents]

Good movie!

[@harounrachid7966]

"Letters From Iwo Jima" and "the thin red line".

[@lionelpeart451]

Tears of the sun is a great one too bro. It’s also based on historical events

[@justinejasminechloe1015]

Act of Valor is very good movie also..i watched it last night again.❤

[@dharmawangsa9592]

All of them i have watched

[@sabrevinver4062]

would add Tears of the Sun and Crimson Tide (Gene Hackman, Denzel Washington). I must have seen each of these more than a dozen times

[@mohsinbajwa3068]

Most favorite among all The Covenant ❤

[@bennyboy0773]

Act of Valor needs to be on this list!

[@stanleyedouard377]

The one I was also looking for 🫡

[@Mr.limitless1]

Hacksaw ridge too...❤

[@mrfineeye]

top shit movie

[@zbigniewhajkowski6159]

I know. This are modern movies many of them with CGI but there are movies from the past where all special effects were real like ONE BRIDGE TO FAR,THE LONGEST DAY ETC. 😊

[@rainerknuth]

"Stalingrad" from 1993

[@TheEvanStomat]

Have seen every movie in this list. For my opinion, the best of them are: 13 hours, Fury and The Outpost. Ryan and Black Hawk Down are classic today, they directed the others in the future... Top Gun is very nostalgic for me. Yesterday I watched it again on TV 🙂

[@tenobitenobi4890]

Thank you for your own analysis ! Personnally, I expected all the movies you choose ! But maybe in a different order 😉 But what about Flags of Our Fathers, Karbala (a pollish war movie that deserve to be seen) and the outstanding Hacksaw Ridge ? Looking foreward to reading your comment ! See you,

[@tenobitenobi4890]

I forgot : Platoon Casualties of war Full metal jacket Mosul ...

[@CarlDesignCa]

The Ambush from UAE by PIerre Morel. Look outside ''made in USA movies''... VERY impressive !!

[@leejoxavier1259]

Hyena road, one of the best good feel war movie

[@jdw174]

Liked the movie....didn't care for the ending though.

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

great movie, best then some on the list

[@FreedomIsNotFree2023]

I've seen every single one of these movies, many times and I lost count. Great list!

[@MichaelTaylor-nm6cx]

Great list! Sisu is the only one I haven’t seen. If that made the list ahead of Act of Valor and We Were Soldiers, it must be really good. I will watch it this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@roshanthilanka1071]

Land of bad ❤ one of the greatest war movies

[@tippedjungle]

GI Jane is a very underrated military film. Another one of ridley Scott's best

[@zioming]

American Sniper (2014) - Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper as a real life Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Chris Kyle. It follows his life during and between several deployments, but the action scenes are great and the movie is really worth a watch in general.

[@gauteolsen]

PLATOON, FULL METAL JACKET, HAMBURGER HILL, english war movies are all good.

[@annanimose4850]

um. I actually saw all ten. good picks.

[@Filipe.Affonso]

"Tears of the Sun" deserves a place on this list. 😮

[@shivamtaneja2350]

Apocalyse now is about the best action war movie i hv ever seen!

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

That one is one of Vietnam war best movies, no doubt.

[@Ultimagtr650]

The outpost is one of the best war movies you will ever see. Cracking movie and some of those involved in the battle played themselves in the movie. Watch the end credits to see probably the most interesting power of the movie where it shows those who actually took part and interviews them

[@CRDub21]

We Were Soldiers, Danger Close, Hacksaw Ridge, the new Midway, Land of Mine (probably doesn't qualify as action, but it's stellar). U-571, Das Boot, Flags of our Fathers, They're series not a movie , but Band of Brothers, the Pacific, and Masters of the Air are all exceptional. The Siege at Jadotville is a foreign film that's great.

[@vincnetjones3037]

Poor list. 7 of these are good action films, but, and it's a very large but.... there are a lot of films missing from this 'top 10' list. A LOT more.

[@wolfauu]

Hacksaw Ridge and 12 Strong should be top 5! Both based on true events and top movies.

[@midnightperfectworld]

13 hours is surprisingly one of the best

[@altancagriegemen]

Das Boot & Greyhound & All Quiet on the Western Front & The Siege of Jadotville 🥰

[@TheBarts27]

Platoon, Tears of the sun, Full Metal jacket, The Deer Hunter, Hamburger Hill, A bridge too far, Soldier of Orange, The longest day, Dunkirk, Narvik, Apocalyps now, the hurt locker, Bravo two zero, Defiance, Savior.

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

the Hurt locker is amazing, forgot to mention that on my options

[@MukasaRodrick]

12 strong was a great movie

[@fahadjamali3541]

I have watched all of them already most fav is lone survivor

[@jeremihmuriuki3924]

13 hours is goated, n.o1 on my list

[@DwainDwight]

great list, but... Full Metal Jacket, Hacksaw Ridge, Hurt Locker, Apocalypse Now etc...

[@boskorankovic]

I think this title should be top 10 U.S production movies . there is lot of French, Uk , russian war movies worth to see, not just hollywood.with many original ideas, and many are inspirated by truth

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

Hacksaw Ridge, Platoon, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Flags From our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima, Midway, One Bridge too far, Inglorious Bastards, Enemy at the Gates, Hunt for the Red October, The Bridge on the River Kway, Empire of the Sun, Schindler's List, Das Boot, Guns of Navarone, Kindgom of Heaven (not with firearms, still a war movie), The longest day, Battle of Britain, The Patriot, American Sniper (just popping on my head, no searches done)? WTH???? I do support many choices here, like 13hours, Black hawk down, Fury, Lone Survivor, The Outpost and ofc Saving Private Ryan (all great movies - well done with topping SPR at number one imo), but Top Gun? Nothing (almost) there is real, it's like more a sci-fi genre movie than a believable war one...

[@tenobitenobi4890]

Enemy at the Gates, you're right ! 👍

[@LouRokTV]

We were soldiers is phenomenal

[@Maddog-xc2zv]

For sure

[@xlr8r3VA]

Where do I begin? How about Act of Valor, The Hurt Locker, Hacksaw Ridge, 12 Strong, 6 Days, Heartbreak Ridge, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Enemy at the Gate, and last but not least, The Great Raid.

[@vytch1906]

I loved act of Valor but I have to admit that the acting makes it hard to put it in a top 10 movie.

[@xlr8r3VA]

@ yeah agreed, but they were real Navy Seals. I don’t think they get trained to act. 🤣

[@vytch1906]

@@xlr8r3VA completely agree and the action scenes are great. So happy to put that in top 20 or something… but a movie still need good story and good acting and I can find 10 other movies being better at that.

[@carlossodi9587]

12 strong

[@tdc5282]

Good job on this list!

[@gregkeller-xi2pq]

I agree 12 Strong should have been on the list as well as Kelly’s Heros

[@all-american469]

Saving Private Ryan is my favorite war movie.

[@pragmaticduck1772]

Awesome list, id add platoon and danger close.

[@georgetucker4734]

One favorite is a Turkish movie, "The Mountain II". The first one is OK as well.

[@1Nalgene]

Very good list, but im missing "Tears of the sun"

[@unclemarkmark]

For those of you that were not around at the time and not aware of them, some that have to be added to the list: Platoon. Apocalypse Now. Full Metal Jacket. Deer Hunter. Hamburger Hill. Trust me. These are top 5 for the last generation.

[@lasanteaurythme6328]

The Top 3 are correct, correct, correct

[@SindiMakhathini-k4j]

Number 3

Depends on your criteria. Jarhead (2005) is an awesome movie, but Stealth (2005) has more action scenes. Here, he went with more action-packed ones.
