your favorite war movie/book?

Sands of Iwo Jima and my favorite book would have to be To Hell and Back

 

[Altorin]

Forrest Gump

And that's all you got to say about that.

I seriously laughed out loud at that.

I think it counts. Half the movie he's at war, the next quarter he's living his life as best he can after the war, and the final quarter he's.. well, running.

Just because the horror of war seems to wash off forrest's back like rain in the jungle doesn't mean it's not a war movie

Best book ever written = Running Man by Stephen King (nothing like the film)

Best film = Hmm, Aliens

movie: Saving Private Ryan

book: House to House by David Bellavia. His personal account of the battle of Fallujah. Very intense combat.
