Black Hawk Down is a silly movie compared to the greatest war movies. It was good, but it's horrible when you compare it to the greatest like Saving Private Ryan.

I don't think there has been a greater war movie than Saving Private Ryan ever. For those who haven't seen it, don't post until you have. It will guide you to the light.

Downfall
Stalingrad (1993)
A Bridge Too Far
The Longest Day
Patton
All Quite On The Western Front
Joyeux Noel
Cross Of Iron

What I can think of off the top of my head.

Omaha Beach, Saving Private Ryan

Dead Presidents was a hell of a good movie and showed the perspective of a black army ranger who came from the Bronx. Then shows what happened to a lot of returning vets from war.

Good to see Paths of Glory on there. The ending in that movie is one of the most powerful in film

Its comparing a mission gone wrong to a war. They should be in different war movie categories.
