1	Father Goose (1964) more movies like this directed by Ralph Nelson featuring Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, Trevor Howard, Jack Good, Sharyl Locke Deliberately casting his established screen image to the four winds, Cary Grant plays Walter Eckland, an unkempt, uncouth and unshaven beach bum in Father Goose. During World War II, Walter keeps busy relaying radio reports of Japanese air activity. But he's no hero, and in fact volunteered for this mission only because he's been promised a ... see all copies from £1.57! new only from £6.95!
2	Starship Troopers (1997) more movies like this directed by Paul Verhoeven featuring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Clancy Brown, Michael Ironside Director Paul Verhoeven (Showgirls, Total Recall) reunited many from his 1987 Robocop team for this $100-million science fiction adventure, adapted from Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel, originally serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (October-November, 1959). After graduation, Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) volunteers for the ... see all copies from £2.16! new only from £3.09!
3	The Great Escape (1963) more movies like this directed by John Sturges featuring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Donald, Charles Bronson, James Coburn The Great Escape is based on the true story of a group of Allied prisoners of war who managed to escape from an allegedly impenetrable Nazi prison camp during World War II. At the beginning of the film, the Nazis gather all their most devious and troublesome POWs and place them at a new prison camp, which was designed to be impervious to escapes. ... see all copies from £1.16! new only from £3.41!
4	Platoon Leader (1988) more movies like this directed by Aaron Norris featuring Michael Dudikoff, Robert F. Lyons, Michael de Lorenzo, Rick Fitts, Jesse Dabson Lieutenant Jeff Knight (Michael Dudikoff) is an idealistic young officer who arrives in Vietnam to lead a group of fighters from the 103rd Airborne division in jungle combat. Sergeant Michael McNamara (Robert F. Lyons) is a combat veteran who helps Jeff after most of the platoon is wiped out. George S. Clinton provides the music for this low ... see all copies from £8.41!
5	The Guns of Navarone (1961) more movies like this directed by J. Lee Thompson featuring Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Stanley Baker, Anthony Quayle, James Darren The guns of Navarone are huge Nazi cannons, installed on an Aegean island behind enemy lines. Anthony Quayle is the officer assigned by the British to lead a task force to put the guns out of commission. When Quayle is injured, the mission winds up in the relatively inexperienced hands of Gregory Peck. There's little love lost between Peck, ... see all copies from £1.16! new only from £9.94!
6	U-571 (2000) more movies like this directed by Jonathan Mostow featuring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Jon Bon Jovi, Jake Weber In this World War II action thriller, American reconnaissance agents learn that a German submarine is sinking. The doomed ship carries an Enigma Machine, a special coding device that allows high-level Axis forces to send messages that can't be read without a similar encryption mechanism. Obtaining a working Enigma device would be invaluable for ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £5.16!
7	The Green Berets (1968) more movies like this directed by John Wayne, Ray Kellogg featuring John Wayne, David Janssen, Jim Hutton, Aldo Ray, Raymond St. Jacques The Green Berets is an exciting war film that was lambasted by critics who at the time of its release opposed the war in Vietnam. Wayne's role is similar to his part in The Longest Day (1963), but it was evident to the worldwide public that the same bravado that flew well in World War II crash-landed in 1968 in the wake of a very different war and ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £3.19!
8	Where Eagles Dare (1968) more movies like this directed by Brian G. Hutton featuring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure, Michael Hordern, Patrick Wymark An expensive but enormously profitable war picture, Where Eagles Dare centers upon a daring rescue and even more daring escape. Disguised as Nazi officers, commandoes Maj. John Smith (Richard Burton), Lt. Morris Schaffer Clint Eastwood and six other courageous souls parachute behind enemy lines. Their mission: to rescue an American general, held ... see all copies from £2.53! new only from £6.31!
9	Red Dawn (1984) more movies like this directed by John Milius featuring Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Ron O'Neal, William Smith, Powers Boothe Set at an indeterminate point in the future, this drama with an overt anti-communist message begins as an ostensible war movie: Russian and Cuban forces have invaded the U.S. and are viciously eliminating the inhabitants of a small town, when a group of teens escapes and plans a counterattack. Jed (Patrick Swayze), Robert (C. Thomas Howell), and ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £4.93!
10	Kelly's Heroes (1970) more movies like this directed by Brian G. Hutton featuring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, Donald Sutherland Like MASH and Catch-22, both released the same year, this military comedy takes place in an earlier war but is really a thinly disguised treatise on the modern-day insanity and avariciousness then unfolding in Vietnam. Clint Eastwood stars as Kelly, a former lieutenant whose illusions about the glory of war, if he has any, are lost when he is ... see all copies* from £2.32! new only from £2.88!
11 view cover	King of Hearts (1966) more movies like this directed by Philippe de Broca featuring Alan Bates, Geneviève Bujold, Jean-Claude Brialy, Julien Guiomar, Micheline Presle, Pierre Brasseur The French/Italian/British King of Hearts (Le Roi de Coeur) takes place during World War I, but it might as well have been the Vietnamese conflict so far as its youthful "core" audience was concerned. Overacting outrageously, Adolfo Celi plays British colonel Alexander MacBibenbrook, who orders mild-mannered Scotsman Pvt. Charles Plumpick (Alan ... see all copies from £2.88! new only from £7.07!
12 view cover	The Dirty Dozen (1967) more movies like this directed by Robert Aldrich featuring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes, George Kennedy, Richard Jaeckel Director Robert Aldrich took what he considered a hopelessly old-fashioned script by Lukas Heller and Nunnally Johnson and fashioned The Dirty Dozen into one of MGM's biggest moneymakers of the 1960s--and the sixth highest-grossing film in the studio's history. Lee Marvin plays Major Reisman, assigned to coordinate a suicide mission on a French ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £2.88!
13 view cover	The Eagle Has Landed (1976) more movies like this directed by John Sturges featuring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Robert Duvall, Jenny Agutter, Donald Pleasence John Sturges directed this taut adaptation of Jack Higgins' suspense novel about an attempted kidnapping of Winston Churchill by the German high command during World War II. When it is discovered that in November 1943 Winston Churchill is scheduled to spend a weekend in a country home in Norfolk, the Germans plan to kidnap him. Heinrich Himmler ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £4.95!
14 view cover	Air America (1990) more movies like this directed by Roger Spottiswoode featuring Mel Gibson, Robert Downey, Jr., Nancy Travis, Ken Jenkins, David Marshall Grant Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. play a couple of what-the-hell flyboys flying contraband to Laos during the Vietnam War. Gibson doesn't seem to care about anything but the "guts and glory" aspects of the job, but Downey has serious questions about the moral implications of their mission. When a Laotian general expresses more concern over the ... see all copies from £2.12! new only from £3.48!
15 view cover	Gunga Din (1939) more movies like this directed by George Stevens featuring Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Sam Jaffe, Eduardo Ciannelli, Joan Fontaine Though Rudyard Kipling's poem Gunga Din makes a swell recital piece, it cannot be said to have much of a plot. It's simply a crude cockney soldier's tribute to a native Indian water boy who remains at his job even after being mortally wounded. Hardly the sort of material upon which to build 118 minutes' worth of screen time-at least, it wasn't ... see all copies from £2.88! new only from £7.70!
16 view cover	Behind Enemy Lines (2001) more movies like this directed by John Moore featuring Gene Hackman, Owen Wilson, Gabriel Macht, Charles Malik Whitfield, Joaquim de Almeida A television commercial for a Sega game system that aired during the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards landed debut director John Moore a gig behind the camera of this military action thriller. Owen Wilson stars as Lt. Chris Burnett, a naval aviator aboard the U.S.S. Carl Vinson who's frustrated with the strict "hands-off" political policies that ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £2.88!
17 view cover	Three Kings (1999) more movies like this directed by David O. Russell featuring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, Spike Jonze, Nora Dunn Three stars team up for this unusual look at America's role in the war against Iraq. In 1991, as the Gulf War winds to a close, three American servicemen find themselves happy to have achieved victory but wondering about the ultimate importance of what they've done (especially since Saddam Hussein is still in power). Major Archie Gates (George ... see all copies from £2.32! new only from £2.32!
18 view cover	Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) more movies like this directed by Phil Tippett featuring Richard Burgi, Lawrence Monoson, Colleen Porch, Ed Lauter, Brenda Strong, Kelly Carlson, Sandrine Holt, Ed Quinn Humanity's war against the bugs continues in this sequel to Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi soap opera epic, Starship Troopers. This time, when a squad of troopers is stranded on a bug-infested planet, their only hope for survival lies in an abandoned outpost, where things take a turn for the worse. A lone survivor by the name of Captain Dax (Richard ... see all copies from £2.90! new only from £5.16!
19 view cover	Castle Keep (1969) more movies like this directed by Sydney Pollack featuring Burt Lancaster, Patrick O'Neal, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Peter Falk, Scott Wilson, Bruce Dern This decidedly different war movie follows Maj. Abraham Falconer (Burt Lancaster), a tired, one-eyed Army officer, as he leads eight men into Belgium where they hope to take a much-needed rest at a 10th century castle. The master of the house, Henri Tixier (Jean-Pierre Aumont), welcomes them with a surprising degree of enthusiasm. Tixier is ... see all copies from £2.62! new only from £7.07!
20 view cover	Hell's Angels (1930) more movies like this directed by Howard R. Hughes, Luther Reed, Marshall Neilan featuring Ben Lyon, James Hall, Jean Harlow, John Darrow, Lucien Prival No one was surprised in 1929 that aviation mogul Howard R. Hughes would produce a paean to World War I flying aces like Hell's Angels. Given Hughes' comparative inexperience as a moviemaker, however, everyone was taken slightly aback that the finished film was as good as it was. The very American Ben Lyon and James Hall play (respectively) Monte ... see all copies from £4.82! new only from £7.06!
21 view cover	Bat 21 (1988) more movies like this directed by Peter Markle featuring Gene Hackman, Danny Glover, Jerry Reed, David Marshall Grant, Clayton Rohner Based on a true story, Bat 21 follows the harrowing adventures of Lt. Colonel Iceal Hambleton (Gene Hackman), whose plane is shot down over enemy territory while on reconnaissance behind enemy lines in Vietnam. Because Hambleton used to call the shots from behind a desk, he lacks combat survival experience and is forced to adapt while the enemy ... see all copies from £2.88! new only from £3.14!
22 view cover	Bravo Two Zero (1999) more movies like this directed by Tom Clegg featuring Sean Bean, Steve Nicolson, Rick Warden The BBC1 military miniseries Bravo Two Zero was based on the actual experiences of Sergeant Andy McNab, who adapted the teleplay from his own novel. Set during the 1991 Gulf War, the series' two 60-minute episodes follow an SAS Patrol as they burrow deep into Iraqui-held territory. Their mission: to destroy the scud missiles in the arsenal of ... see all copies from £5.14! new only from £5.22!

Franz von Waldheim (Paul Scofield) is ordered to move the priceless works of art from the Jeu de Paume Museum to the fatherland.

25 view cover	Navy Seals (1990) more movies like this directed by Lewis Teague featuring Charlie Sheen, Michael Biehn, Joanne Whalley, Rick Rossovich, Cyril O'Reilly This exercise in patriotic, high-tech action centers on a select group of Navy commandos and their battles against a Middle East terrorist group.
