Pvt. Benjamin (1980) (is this the only color this comes in?)

Seconded Where Eagles Dare (1968). Eastwood, Burton and quentin's inspiration for Inglorious Basterds (2009). Or maybe Dad's Army (1968), the movie.  Might have to be British to love it. Or Kelly's Heroes (1970), Eastwood and Donald Sutherland in a tank that fires paint.

Guns of Navarone (1961) -- I like the way it combines war movie with heist movie.

In the Army Now (1994) (snicker)
Actually Black Hawk Down (2001) was the first thing that popped into my head.

I have to say Stripes (1981), lol.

Lately, The Hurt Locker (2008).

Favorite military movie? It's really tough to choose. I think it's got to be Heartbreak Ridge (1986). There are so damn fantastic movies.. Patton (1970). The Great Escape (1963). Stalag 17 (1953). Kelly's Heroes (1970). Full Metal Jacket (1987).

gallipoli (1981)

Would have to say, Full Metal Jacket (1987). For the boot camp scene alone :)

Everyone here is familiar with English ones, but try these Indian movies on Military, totally rad!
1. Prahar (Attack)
2. Lakshya (Aim or Motive) - also a coming-of-age flick.
3. Border

Saving Private Ryan (1998). And its slightly younger and more, shall we say, 'EXTREEEEEEEEEEME' brotherBlack Hawk Down (2001). All others have already been mentioned.

A Few Good Men (1992).

I'll harken back to Stanley Kubrick's other great war movie. Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas.  Made the same year I was born....
Tony B via Facebook

Sayonara (1957), with Marlon Brando & Red Buttons. Ricardo Montalban as a Japanese Kabuki actor...? yes, please!
Heather H via Facebook

Renaissance Man (1994)  
Marie from MYMHM

Dang it Kristina! You took mine! I was thinking about maybe going with Starship Troopers (1997), as I love the commentary on citizenship and service, but really I think I have to go with Cameron's Aliens (1986) which really nailed what Heinlein was going for.
