I saw The Patriot, and I love Mel Gibson...but I did NOT like the movie, at all. I wish I did.....

blade, matrix, mad max

 

[SoddyNole]

A lot of good ones above. Some of the great Kung Fu movies were good even though a lot have not aged well. IPman series are very good and a little more modern.

Most anything with Arnold. I would laugh at anything that would require a muscle to be flexed meant he was either shirtless or in a tank top (see Predator and Commando).

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Kill Bill (Krazy 88s)

 

[mjpwooo]

I am embarrassed that I left off Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

[OHNole43123]

The Bourne Trilogy

 

[LLOYD72]

Braveheart
Gladiator

Zulu - It's one of those movies I just can't pass if I see it while channel surfing, though there's a lot of misinformation as far as the characters involved. Still.........
Taken - the original
We Were Soldiers Once

Of course it's a series but........Band of Brothers is right near the top also.

 

[mjpwooo]

Band of Brothers is incredible, yes. But not a movie

 

[Red Hills Nole]

Not quite sure that this fits the Header genre but I cannot get enough of "Natural Born Killers" not for everyone I fully admit but pure artistry.

 

[BLEEDSGARNET&GOLD]

Saving Private Ryan(my all time favorite)
Hamburger Hill
The Big Hit
The Boondocks Saints

 

[OriginalSwami]

Saving Private Ryan (unforgettable beach scene)
Gladiator
The Kirk Douglas Spartacus
Legends of the Fall
Apollo 13
Interstellar
Skyfall

 

[squiffynole]

A few I enjoy -

Northwest Passage, Robert's Rangers battle trekking during the French and Indian Wars.

Mutiny on the Bounty, the 1964 version has much beauty.

Shaka Zulu, intense mini-series.

The Siege of Firebase Gloria, my favorite from the genre.

The Way Back, Siberia prisoners who escape to India by foot.

Always loved Shaka Zulu, glad to see another fan!

Saving Private Ryan (unforgettable beach scene)
Gladiator
The Kirk Douglas Spartacus
Legends of the Fall
Apollo 13
Interstellar
Skyfall

Saving Private Ryan beach scene is the most powerful scene to me in any movie, but that can be a different thread.
