None of them. i don't like war movies. But others recommend Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket and Black Hawk Down.

My favorites are:
WWII
"Twelve O'clock High" Gregory Peck. Daylight bombing raids over Germany.
"Memphis Bell" Mathew Modine. First B17 to complete 25 missions.
"The Cain Mutiny" Humphrey Bogart.
"Bridge on the River Kwi" Alec Guiness.
Korea
"Pork Chop Hill" Gregory Peck.
"The Bridges at Toko Ri" William Holder.
"M*A*S*H" Donald Sutherland. Really funny.
Viet Nam
"Full Metal Jacket" Matthew Modine.
"Platoon" Charlie Sheen.
"Apocalypse Now" Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando.

Saving Private Ryan.
(Tom Hanks & Matt Damon, D-Day landings.) Tom Hanks has to go off with a small troupe of his men to get Private Ryan out of the firing line because 3 of his brothers have already been killed in the war.

Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket are two very good and intense war movies.

yes, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Dear Hunter, there are so many more good ones.I am not sure, but I think Born on the 4th of July was good.
