Best Scene from a War Movie or TV show

[grwhyte]

Like to add final episode of Band of brothers. When the German General is speeking to his troops and gives his final speech.

And still one of my favorite scenes in Empire of the sun when the young boy walks up to a Zero, at the airfield and the pilots salute him.

I don't know if it's the best scene, but how about in River Kawai when Col. Nicholson falls on his own detonator. Almost funny.


The Empire of the Sun airfield attack scene: Mystical.

I wasn't expecting and yet somehow new something was going to happen to that Zero in front of the sun.

Little on the long and drawn out side but the main character does have at thing for airplanes. He'd fit in pretty well on this board.

The airplane/air scenes are well shot but there aren't many of them.

the native war chant sequence from Zulu the sound track got used again in the battle scene from Gladiator

To add another one, without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it

The Pianist - 'Walk, don't run'

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Its not really a war movie and the movie is a comedy but I will allways love the Vietnam part of Forrest Gump. The part where Forrest is running through the Jungle because Jennie told him to just run and then he gets shot in the ass!

Again I know it is not a war movie and trust me I sure as hell no it was a realistic movie. It is a comedy for christs sake but I will allways like that part.

I've just remembered a comedy film I saw once, a guy gets captured in WW1
and he sets an escape plan. No-one wants to escape though, so he goes on his own. He gets recaptured. he goes to a top security POW camp where he tries to escape but his fellow prisoners stop him. Then all the prisoners except him escape. Then the GUARDS escape, but instead of walking out the gate, he tries his own methods. The best bit was,
"then a Teriible thing happend. THE WAR ENDED!"
In the end the guy is the only man not to escape the camp.
I wish I could remember the names.
