I am interested in the Civil War and U.S. history in general, so I really liked the movie. Of course Ken Burns' documentaries on the Civil War are the nuts, but Gettysburg was very well done.Originally Posted by AMARTIN1181

My top5
1)Saving Private Ryan
2)Full Metal Jacket
3)Dirty Dozen(I love this movie for some reason)
4)Apocalypse now
5)DeerHunter
Ofcourse band of brothers is better than all, but it isnt a movie, its a miniseries.
Honorable mention goes out to Braveheart, Platoon, Glory is my fav civilwar movie.
Some really good ones that havent been mentioned yet- A Bridge Too Far, Black Hawk Down, Patton, and the Kelly's Heroes.
