Truth be told I've not seen most of these titles as I'm not much of a western or war film fan, so I'll have to grade them on their legendary status within the movie world; in other words, my choices will probably suck.:


Saving Private Ryan Vs. Apocalypse Now - Brando vs Hanks? Hmmm...

Dirty Dozen Vs. Bridge Over The River Kwai - One I've actually seen.

Dam Busters Vs. The Longest Day - And another one...

Platoon Vs. The Great Escape - And another



Outlaw Josey Wales Vs. True Grit - for The Duke, I guess...

Unforgiven Vs. High Noon - Frankie Laine Sung the theme song to this...

Tombstone Vs. Magnificent Seven - Based on Seven Samurai you know...

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Vs. The Searchers - For the theme tune alone....

Saving Private Ryan Vs. Apocalypse Now - AN has to be one of the most boring films ever.

Dirty Dozen Vs. Bridge Over The River Kwai - For the funness of it

Dam Busters Vs. The Longest Day - Hardest pick of the bunch but it went to the superior cast.

Platoon Vs. The Great Escape - great Escape, one of the most overrated films ever all because of a man and his motorbike.

Outlaw Josey Wales Vs. True Grit - The greatest Western of alltime period.

Unforgiven Vs. High Noon

Tombstone Vs. Magnificent Seven

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Vs. The Searchers

Shaving Ryan's Priv... Oooops! Wrong genre!

Seriously though...

Saving Private Ryan Vs Apocalypse Now: I'm with DM on this.

Dirty Dozen Vs Bridge Over The River Quay: Easy choice for me.

Dam Busters Vs The Longest Day: Tough choice.

Platoon Vs The Great Escape: Always enjoy this film.

Outlaw Josey Wales Vs True Grit: Not a big western fan but enjoyed this.

Unforgiven Vs High Noon: As above.

Tombstone Vs Magnificent 7: Ditto.

The Good The Bad & The Ugly Vs The Searchers: Same again!

Apocalypse Now Vs. Bridge Over The River Kwai - How can you not love the smell of napalm in the morning?!

Dam Busters Vs. The Great Escape - Winner for so many reasons - great improv motorcycle chase, a UK Christmas institution and of course one of the greatest theme tunes known to man!!!

True Grit Vs. The Good The Bad & The Ugly - Can't say I've seen 'True Grit' but Dirty Harry ould probably still win over

Tombstone Vs. High Noon - Seen neither so random choice
