(TROY - COVER)
#1 troy
R | 3 hours 16 minutes
While many would put a lot of other action films above this movie, I strongly disagree with them. Troy is not only the best action film that I've ever seen, it is also the greatest Greek mythology film, in my opinion, as well. Revolved around the great tales of the mighty Achilles (played by Brad Pitt) and Prince Hector, the story of how the Trojan's took over the city of Troy using the mythical "Trojan Horse" is truly entertaining. Brad Pitt was every bit of amazing in playing his roll of Achilles. His opening battle scene against "Boagrius" and later battle against Hector are probably the most intensifying fighting scenes that I've ever seen.

(SAVING PRIVATE RYAN - COVER)
#2 saving private ryan
R | 2 hours 49 minutes
Another amazing performance by Tom Hanks. Brilliant film, very gory; so if you can't handle blood I wouldn't recommend this movie. But then again, if you can't handle blood, why would you even click on the "War Films" tab???? Lol enjoy the movie.
PLOT
Following the Normandy Landings, a group of U.S. soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.

(THE PIANIST - COVER)
#3 the pianist
R | 2 hours 30 minutes
If you are not a fan of slow developing films then this one may not be for you, however, I can promise you that you will be missing out . Winning 3 Oscars and 2 BAFTAs, "The Pianist" is a film that will take you through the emotional journey of a Polish musician struggling to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto in World War II.

TRAILER
(THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS - COVER)
#4 the lord of the rings: the two towers
PG-13 | 2 hours 59 minutes
Great film with amazing war scenes. There are no guns of course seeing that this is a medieval type of film, but I can promise that the scenes are just as action packed, if not more, as movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Hurt Locker". Even if you aren't a fan of The Lord of the Rings movies this is still one to watch. You won't be disappointed.
PLOT
While Frodo and Sam edge closer to Mordor with the help of the shifty Gollum, the divided fellowship makes a stand against Sauron's new ally, Saruman, and his hordes of Isengard.

(300 - COVER)
#5 300
R | 1 hour 57 minutes
One of the coolest movies I've seen thus far. "300" is a film about a group of Spartans (300 of them) who go on a journey to fight against an army of Persians who have threatened their country. With crazy actions scenes, tons of animated gore, and creative and memorable dialogue, this movie is for sure a classic when it comes to war films. You'll want to check this one out for sure if you've never seen it.
PLOT
King Leonidas of Sparta and a force of 300 men fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
