5. The Patriot. A lot of people didn't like this one, but I did. It's the best portrayal of the Revolutionary War that I've seen.4. The Longest Day. Old school WWII movie (1962) about the Normandy invasion with John Wayne, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, and a whole lot more.
3. Glory. It's about a union black regiment in the Civil War. It's outstanding. Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes, Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman.
2. Braveheart. Mel Gibson again. I've seen this one like 10 times and it never gets old. "They may take our lives, but they will never take our FREEDOOOOMMM!!!"
1. Saving Private Ryan. This is hands down the best war movie ever. There is no equal.
On the Bubble: Memphis Belle, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Gettysburg, Patton. Band of Brothers would be on my list to replace The Patriot, but it was an HBO mini-series - not a movie.

the best thing about the patriot wasnt the fight scenes (even though they rocked) it was the personal story, same with braveheart and glory and saving private ryan. The best war movies are about the people in the war, their stories, not people losin their head and their guts. good list
