I love war movies. I love the story lines and the action in them. In my opinion, it is a perfect balance. My two all time favorite war movies are Saving Private Ryan and Fury. I personally really like the storyline of Saving Private Ryan. It grabs my interest and just holds it throughout the whole movie. There was always something that interested me in that movie. I loved the actors they chose like Tom Hanks and Matt Damon. One of the final scenes when it is just Tom Hanks against a tank was really interesting. He was wounded and took care of a tank himself by shooting in the small area the tank driver looks through. It was very intense. Saving Private Ryan was just an overall good movie.
Fury is a movie with Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LeBeouf, Jon Bernthal, and Michael Peña. They are all in a tank squad and it is practically just their journey throughout the war. The way it ends is very interesting. Only one of them survive in an inside last stand. The youngest one played by Logan Lerman slides under the tank to hide because the character Brad Pitt plays sacrifices himself to help him survive. When he hides under the tank one German soldier sees him but does not say anything and ignores him. I personally loved this part because it just played with your emotions.
Another war movie I really like is Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg. Him and his squad are sent out to take out a Taliban leader but things take a turn for the worst when everyone in his squad is taken out and he is the only survivor, hence the movies title. The really cool part about this movie is that the citizens assist him in the last fight against the Taliban, helping him escape and survive. They saved him. This really makes this a worthwhile movie to watch.
All three of these movies listed are phenomenal war movies and were made at a near perfect level. They demonstrate war in a very realistic way. The directors had a goal on how to make us feel and they succeeded. I would recommend war movies to anyone, as long they can handle a bit of gore.
