I really enjoy war movies based on world war 2. Not sure if this counts as a war movie, but I loved Gladiator. It's unfortunate that they can't make more movies somewhat like that, hopefully they will.
I watched Tears of the Sun and I enjoyed it alot.

One movie I haven't seen on here is Rain. A movie about a dog, "Rain", serving in the Vietnam war. Basically the movie just follows the dog and his handler around for an hour or so with one ambush in the movie because the platoon leader wants to make a point on how he distrusts dogs and leads his men across an opening in the forest when the dog says there's bad guys in both directions. I found this movie great, although judging from what I've found on the internet, from the people who have seen it, not many love it as much as I do. This was playing on one of the movie channels on Bell ExpressVu, but for some reason they've decided it would be fun to show The Matrix over, and over, and over, and over, need I say more?
Oh I just had to add this, this movie is not very realistic in some departments. Like when the handler of the dog get's his dog stolen by the vietnamese guide and he takes his nurse girlfriend out with him to shoot the people who have his dog up before they can sell him to the VC. It would have been okay if the dumb broad did what he told her to do, but instead she gets the bright idea to run down there and fumble with the lock for the time it takes her to get knocked out. :

I have seen many of the movies here listed. lots of great hours here to watch.
I enjoyed a lot the mivoes the US Army and the Brits did during WW 2, they are a blast to watch, you know the good guys are going to win but still had to get people to pay for war bonds.
" when we were soldiers" great movie, read the book it is based on, even better explains some of the stuff you do not see or have explained in the movie. The wife of the CO, she started to get the telegraphs sent to her house instead of the taxi driver handing them out. The US army had no system in place to deal with that yet. Hate to have my family get the letter by cab driver. Love the line by sgt major, how do you know it ***** good morning or not
Devils Brig good story a little far from the truth but good movie.
John Wayne movies well they are just that, too many to list and too many to laugh and enjoy. He wanted to go on Patrol with SF in Nam and the CO told him no way, do not think JW could do JW for real if the shit hit the fan and could you imagine being the CO explaining tot he world that JW was killed or wounded?
Saving private ryan
thin red line hated it
longest day
raid on toyko
u571 great story but it is full of holes
lots of great movies
will ahve to check out other movies here listed

Heres some movies I thought were pretty good (no particular order)
1) We were soldiers
2) Platoon
3) Saving Private Ryan
4) The Patriot
5) U-571
6) Harts War
7) The Thin Red Line
8 ) Black Hawk Down
9) Enemy at the Gates
10) Behind Enemy Lines
Pearl Harbor was O.K. a little one too many soft parts though.
Still, I have never seen Full Metal Jacket
That new movie The Great Raid coming soon looks pretty decent

Here's one "THE AFFAIR".
A true storey, during WWII the first of a all Black American Battalion are Camped outside a small English Village. The principle charactor falls in Love with the wife of a Lt.Commander who's at sea. I won;t give away what ensues or how it ends.
I was very surprised (considering the title), its worth watching
