Thank you Homepost readers!
You posted on this blog... you posted on Facebook... you Tweeted... you emailed... you even called! Before the holidays I asked you to please tell me your favorite war movie(s) of all time, and you responded enthusiastically, and again I thank every one of you who participated. Below are the results. The winner - the film that got the most votes - was "Saving Private Ryan," with "Platoon" a close second. There were plenty of surprises, a few forgotten gems, and some infamous classics. I'm not sure I should admit this, but I've seen every one of these films and there isn't a single one I didn't enjoy, for obviously different reasons. You covered the spectrum, from full-on combat films to patriotic salutes to anti-war satires to love stories.
These are the films that received more than one vote:
These each received one vote:
Later this week, as promised, I will list my own Top Ten favorite war films of all time. Stay tuned.
