Not my favorite war movie (good though), but Barnes "I am reality" scene in Platoon is always bad arse.

Written and directed by Samuel Fuller

During the Korean War a ragtag group of American stragglers battles against superior Communist troops in an abandoned Buddhist temple.

I don't have a favorite but I do have this and we've all seen it.

One of the most viscerally disturbing scenes I've ever witnessed in any movie, war or otherwise, was when that Nazi soldier slowly drove his knife into that jewish soldier's chest as he begged him not to. He was begging for him to stop.

It was so heartbreaking. The following scene where the Nazi passed Upham on the staircase didn't even matter. In fact, that scene almost diminished what we all saw previously.

Blaming Upham brought nothing to that.

Didn't stop me from wanting to rip his throat out though.

Reflecting on it, for me the Upham scene afterwards was a distraction from what I had just watched. Had it simply been the fight scene alone, we would've had to sit with what we had witnessed. We would've had to marinate in it. All Upham did was give us all a little outrage.

It was just so profoundly sad how that scene ended. I think I would've preferred that to the manufactured outrage of Upham's cowardice.

As far as favorite goes, I liked the cemetery scenes more. Probably the first time I have ever been brought to tears in an opening scene.

The final battle scene in the Last Samurai. When the Imperial Army starts firing that Howitzer, just such a gut wrenching scene. And then Katsumoto and Tom Cruise embracing... "I will miss our conversations"



Such a damn good movie and final battle scene.

You didn't clarify if the "war scene" was based on convential warfare or just any battle scene so I'm going to take liberties and offer this one...

From the underrated Casualties of War...

Michael J Fox puts shovel on face

Love Sean Penn's facial expressions. It took me decades before I finally learned what he said:

"You beaucoup diên cái dau!"

Which is a mix of French and Vietnamese that means you're very crazy in the head.

That was the most realistic rendition of what combat was like that I can ever remember in film.

Hell, even archival footage of the actual storming of the beaches on D-Day had been censored so much to not show the American public the real horrors those brave men faced.

In Platoon, the first contact with Charlie during the nightime jungle ambush. The way the VC soldier appears right out of the jungle and walks up on the sleeping platoon is a great scene.
But the winner is....
