MSN features a list of the top ten war movies of all time. In truth, I haven’t seen some of the older movies, so I can’t really evaluate their decisions. I do concur that Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan should be in the top ten, and that Apocalypse Now should be first. I might have added Bridge on the River Kwai and Platoon to my list.
On sites like this, I always assume that they have a strategic reason for running this article. Are they going to be partnering with a studio to release some new box set soon? Are they promoting a new war movie? Maybe I’m just cynical.
