A Bridge Too Far for me, the scene when Robert Redford crossed the river and they were saying Hail Mary is awesome.

Platoon for me
Nemesis
SERIOUSLY!
I saw Midway in Oshawa (sorry THPP-it's a Canadian bit
) in 'Sensoround'...half of the ceiling fell on us during some of the scenes with the heavy guns going off....As good as The Killing Fields is what can ever beat 'Dad's Army-The Movies'?

Salvador was a great movie-still not sure if it qualifies as being a 'war' movie though.

The Pianist was a great War Movie too...

Mmmmm? Marvellous
hmmm, will have to be Saving Private Ryan for me. Yes it portrays the US version of events, it certainly shows the true horrors and reality of WW2 and war in general.
A film these bloody yobs that roam the streets mugging old women want to be made to watch.

lots of the usual suspects mentioned. two underrated gems:
1 - The Beast (russian tank gets separated in afghanistan).
2- When Trumpets Fade (made for tv but still excellent, often referred to as Hamburger Hill 2).
both can be found cheap on dvd and are highly recommended. by me.
