13 War Movies That Are Perfect From Start to Finish

Comments

1. Iris: flawless from start to finish? I don't know, those examples all have some major issues - Hacksaw Ridge's finale is super melodramatic, and Zero
2. Silent Moth: Saving Private Ryan will always stick out for me since I had a high school history class watch it together in 2005 - it really drove home the human cost
3. Static Drift: somehow 'perfect' is doing these movies a disservice
4. Sana: what i love most is how those films avoid sensationalizing the chaos
5. Luna: I've got to disagree with saving Private Ryan on this list - war is just too brutal for perfection
6. Webernoah: i've seen all those movies but the editing on Hacksaw Ridge still gives me pause - what was with the odd shot choices?
7. Echo Raven: Saving Private Ryan's opening 27 minutes are some of the most intense I've ever seen, but flawless? that's a stretch
8. Iris: flawless from beginning to end? try that with a real human story for once, not just some Hollywood sanitization
9. Solar Specter: Saving Private Ryan and Hacksaw Ridge are my top picks from this list, but I have to respectfully disagree about Zero Dark Thirty - the pacing feels off to me
10. Ravia: actually, Hacksaw Ridge is kinda... inconsistent when it comes to its portrayal of faith 🙅‍♂️
11. Ashen Kite: what makes a war movie 'perfect' is subjective to me anyway - what are your thoughts on the cinematography of Saving Private Ryan?
12. Lucas: what makes a war movie perfect and does perfection have to mean sticking strictly to fact?
13. Noelibrahimxo: zero for perfect from start to finish? haven't seen a flawless war movie yet myself
14. Mirage Shard: i'll give it to them on Saving Private Ryan, but those other two are a stretch - Hacksaw Ridge's final act falls flat every time
15. Cleo: Saving Private Ryan is a game-changer, but flaws are always more interesting than perfection to me
16. Selim: what even is the definition of flawless in movies sometimes
17. Grim Cinder: these movies always get compared to Saving Private Ryan but i think Hacksaw Ridge's ending is more impactful because of its quieter tone
18. Ghost Signal: never seen a list that tries to cram perfection into war movies like this, feels too neat
19. Crimson Serpent: honestly can't take Hacksaw Ridge seriously after that ridiculously over-the-top scene with the tanks lol ⛔️
20. Aria: never seen a list like this without some caveats - what do they mean by 'perfect' again?
21. Fractal Kite: haven't seen a single one of those on the list that doesn't have at least 20 minutes of padding.
22. Omar: save me the hyperbole – some of those are just decent movies with one or two compelling scenes
