Most if not all of my favorites have already been listed, but I think Hamburger Hill comes as close to the raw emotion most of who've "been there" have experienced.

A very good, but rarely seen flick is The Bridge.
"Near the end of World War II, a small German town braces for the onslaught of American troops. Eight schoolboys are conscripted into the army and their first order is to defend a bridge leading to their town."

I'd like to see a thread listing the most realistic war movies. Ones that capture what it's really like to be in a battle. I wonder if there are any Freepers who've been in particularly nasty battles.
