Watch Lebanon (2009)

During the war in Lebanon a single tank and a unit of paratroopers are sent on a mission in a hostile town. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie Lebanon 2009 online free.

This is one of the best war movies ever! At least according to the many film critics. Joshua Rothkopf (TIME OUT NY) called it - "The Das Boot of tank movies". Other renowned films critics used superlatives as well to describe this masterpiece. This is nothing what one could expect and what is even more strange the movie is a co-production between Israel, Lebanon and Germany. One of the few movies that every fan of the war genre should not miss to watch.

Come and See (Idi i smotri - original title) (1985)

A rare glimpse on world war II from the Russian side, based on real-life events of a former partisan who fought the Germans in Belarus in 1943. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie come and see 1985 online free.

One of the greatest war movies ever made. Head to head with movies such as All quiet on the western front, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Das Boot. If you ask some of the critics they will go even further and say this is probably the best war movie ever made. 

Many would say that Spielberg`s Private Ryan movie first 15 minutes were brutal and that portrayed the real face of war. Those 15 minutes are nothing but a walk in the park for this epic movie. This is war as close as it gets. You wanna see it, think again, do you have the stomach for a real war movie. Come and see might sound as a child game, but there isn`t any childish in it. Elem Klimov did something that nobody in Hollywood would dreamed of, he did a honest war movie. so honest that it hurts watching it, it makes you glad that you didn`t lived in that time in that place. The story is based on real events described by Ales Adamowich who fought against the Germans on the Russian front.  

Director: Elem Klimov

Dramatization of the role of the American PT boats in the battle for the Philippines during the second world war. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie they were expendables online free.

The fact that John Ford is one of the greatest movie directors is well-known and established. They were expendables is just one of his well-crafted movies, perhaps not his best work, but good enough to be called John Ford Classic. John Wayne as always puts up a good performance, his fans will enjoy this movie very much.

Afghanistan, 1981, Russian T-62 tank and it`s crew are separated from their unit and found themselves behind enemy lines. They play a game of cat and mouse with the mujaheddin fighters.

The Red Badge of Courage (1951)

The movie is an adaption of Crane`s best seller about a young Union soldier who struggles to find his courage to fight in the battle. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie the red badge of courage online free.

This is one of the most underrated war movies in all times. The movie is rarely mentioned by fans of the genre mainly because most of them haven`t seen this classic John Houston movie. The movie is in the same league as All quiet on the western front and Kubrick`s Paths of Glory. Almost half a century after its made the movie remains a powerful tale of redemption. 

Director: John Huston

  A professor and two of his students and a journalist that interviews a young congressman are in the middle of this movie. Their stories bring a strong moral lesson. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie lions for lambs online free.

The movies is more based on ideas than on characters. This is so to speak "whats wrong with America" type of movie. Two students leave college to fight in Afghanistan. Soon after their arrival there they are wounded behind enemy lines triggering a series of events at home. The movie is full of great points and interesting dialogues. The actors are great as well, even Tom Cruise is excellent as the rising political star in Washington. All in all a strong recommendation to watch lions for lambs.

Typical L&H comedy movie. Perhaps not their best comedy movie, but still good enough for most of their fans. The style and humor differs a bit from their early work and that`s why the movie received few bad critics.

Battle Los Angeles (2011)

Once again planet earth is attacked by aliens. Short review, basic movie info, trailer and full movie Battle Los Angeles (2011) online free.

It is the year 2011, the year when first contact is made with the aliens. However, that is not the first contact that people hoped for. Aliens come to earth only to conquer. While all of the mega cities fall one by one, LA becomes the last stand for human kind. 

All in all nothing but a descent sci-fi war movie with few great special effects. The movie is not as bad as Battleship (2012), but in no case it can be compared with Spielberg`s World of the Worlds (2005).

Members of the Navajo tribe that served as part of the armed forces were charged for the new code cause they were the only that could speak and understand Navajo language.

Red Tails (2012)

The actors do their best, but their given lines are not as good as should be. While the going ones on the sky are spectacular the story on the ground is too simple. However, not to be discouraged cause this is not the worst war movie in 2012, but at the same time cannot be placed among the best war movies of 2012. Its place is probably somewhere in the middle.
