> [@DinoR](#): > > It seems like a reasonable method. I like chronological by release (since we could be talking about time frame the movie is set in or release). That lumps things together by similar levels of production techniques and cultural limitations on what is shown. It let’s Saving Private Ryan not compete against The Longest Day in the first round. We get to pick the best military movies of the time before we put them head to head. Good point. ---

If _ **Valkyrie** _ is going to be on the list, then _ **Fury** _ should be too. ---

Not to really make work for someone else but --------- since you have the list together anyway ------- I would be curious how the different movies stack against each other by subject. Which is the favorite Colonial War movie, favorite WW I movie, etc. ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Not to really make work for someone else but --------- since you have the list together anyway ------- I would be curious how the different movies stack against each other by subject. Which is the favorite Colonial War movie, favorite WW I movie, etc. I’d be all in favor of **somebody else** taking on that task. 🙂 It would be a fun exercise, as this one has turned out to be. Great suggestion! Please, _anybody_, feel free to take this listing and rearrange it by whatever breakdown you may choose. It’s _community property_ anyway! 🙂 ---

Looking over the list by decades, it would appear that the next likely place to have some early voting would be either the 1970’s or 1990’s. Maybe we just need some more movies in those eras? I don’t really want to put a “drop dead date” on this process, but if we haven’t had any new suggestions by the weekend (in those eras in particular) I may start with other polls then. ---

_ **This Is the Army** _, with Ronald Reagan and George Murphy, among others. IIRC, this was the most popular movie of 1943 in the US. I also remember watching a biopic about Eddie Rickenbacker, top US air ace in WWI, when I was a kid. I wonder how many other such movies (Richthofen, Bishop, Barker, Hawker, Guynemer, etc.) are out there. A fairly recent one is _ **Flyboys** _, with Jean Renault. ---
