Well since we're including miniseries', I say that Band of Brothers and Generation Kill are about tied.

Letters from Iwo Jima or Saving Private Ryan. Also, War of the Worlds is one of my favorite movies, but I guess sci-fi doesn't count

BHD was a bit "oorah" (it kinda had to be if the US armed forces were gonna lend a dozen UH-60s, otherwise we'd have been left with Huey Down), but the pacing and handling of a multitude of characters was handled very well. And I highly suggest seeing Tae, it has one of the best strafing attacks I've ever seen.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Saving Private Ryan was amazing, I also enjoyed "The Flowers of War". It stars Christian Bale who is visiting China just before the Japanese attack Nanking, he finds a church with kids in it and he able to keep them from harm because he is a westerner and the Japanese military will not harm them at that point in the war.
Very good film, even though there are no subtitles when they speak Chinese, you can still understand what is happeneing in an odd way. It also has an absolutely beautiful lead female actress, my God was she breath taking...

It's not a movie, but Band of Brothers is the best war related thing I've seen.

- Dec 4, 2012 4:45 pm GMTPlatoon, Braveheart, Charlie Wilson's War, Full Metal Jacket. Those are the cream of the crop imo. Honorable mentions to Forrest Gump for being a better war movie than 95% of war movies without being a war movie.
