What particular battle would you like to be given the "Saving Private Ryan/Black Hawk Down" treatment?
In other words, a brutally accurate and respectful portrayal, using the best technical and dramatic abilities that Hollywood has to offer.
My choice would be the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, November 13 1942.

A remake of the film about a Marine Corps Garrison that was overrun by the IJA, and who refused to abandon their post despite the odds. The film ended with a scene that basically said "there are plenty more where they came from".
I'd also like to see a film portraying the battle of Tora Bora.
