The Bofors Gun - Based on the play "events while guarding the bofors gun". An buck sergeants worst nightmare about dealing with eccentric characters on guard mount.
Guns At Battasi - Richard Attenborough gives the perdormance of his life as a British RSM in Africa in the early 1960s during the turn over of a colony to the locals. Great lessons in leadership there.
The best thing I've seen in a long time is Band of brothers especially 3 episodes
1. The drop into Normandy best special effects of tracers and planes being shot down I've ever seen.
2. The Battle of the Bulge episode that focuses on the company medic
3. The episode after that that shows how the company 1sg holds the unit together in spite of a useless commander
Private Ryan was technically impressive but the characters did things that normal Infantrymen would never do (like small-talk converse in normal tones on patrol)
Thems my contributions.
All the best

Your suggestions reminded me of "Cromwell" and "Charge of the Light Brigade" also.
Wind and the Lion........# of Days in Peking .......when the UN like garrison from many counties were surrounded (Charlton Heston ?)
Sand Pebbles regarding the boxer rebellion I believe.
