They show that movie at the Air Force Academy to illustrate the pressures of command.

I was thinking The Beast was Israeli? It was filmed in Israel. Might have had some Israeli military advisors, etc. The director and principal actors were American. And the star of the film, the tank, was most certainly Russian.

No "Platoon" ? No "Hamburger Hill" ?
I'm a 'Nam vet and I think both are outstanding. Hamburger Hill is a real gut wrencher.

Three Kings in the top 10? How about Patton, We Were Soldiers, or Windtalkers instead?

I saw a DVD of that last year, with restored footage, a sort of faux director's cut. Also a blurb said it was, hmm, Lee Marvin's (?) finest performance.
