UPS Apocalypse Now Is The Best War Movie Because It's Really A Horror Movie
There are many common picks for the greatest war movie ever made. Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan opens with an intense, PTSD-triggering recreation of the D-Day Landings and maintains that pace and momentum for nearly three hours. Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter exposes the harrowing effects of war by limiting the actual warfare to around a half-hour of screen time and dedicating the rest of the movie to exploring the psychological impact of those experiences. Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory has been dubbed the ultimate anti-war film, starring an impassioned Kirk Douglas as a colonel who has to defend his decision to save his men from going on a suicide mission as ordered.
