No. 9 - The List: Top 10 War Movies...
I've got a pretty controversial hot take to lead off this week's section, as I watched The Great Escape for the first time this weekend.
Overall ... meh.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy parts of it, but I am saying it was really long and didn't completely hold up as a great movie to me nearly 60 years after its release. That the story was based on a real story, but wasn't remotely accurate to what happened also didn't do the film any favors.
Therefore, let me give you my 10 favorite war movies
10. Apocalypse Now
9. Platoon
8. Schindler's List
7. Braveheart
6. The Deer Hunter
5. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
4. Full Metal Jacket
3. The Bridge on the River Kwai
2. Saving Private Ryan
1. Patton
