Does a miniseries count?
Band of Brothers Other (less well-known) war movies: Bat21 Hamburger Hill The Big Red One A Bridge Too Far The Longest Day and one movie well-worth watching: Kelly's Heroes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly's_Heroes -------------------- "A Wise Man looks at a grain of sand and sees the Universe...
A Silly Man picks up a piece of seeweed, puts it around his neck and runs along the beach yelling: Look at me, I'm The Vine Man... Dingo Brains |

Mandel, my man, this movie (while boring) encapsulated the entire Vietnam war... |

Apocalypse Now is actually watchable for the first 50 minutes, but it just goes downhill from there.

aba guns of navarone is actually the PREquel to force 10 just to clarify. To Hell and Back is a good one. How bout midway?
fen enemy at the gates was very good as well. Letters From Iwo Jima? The Big Red One? |

The Russian WW 2 film 'Come and see' takes some beating as does the German film 'Downfall'.
