I'm sure we did this a few years ago. Nomatter.

Two that have not been mentioned will follow. I hope this may prove of interest to Glyn as they are both as uncompromising as Das Boot, Apoc. Now; as brutal as Stalingrad and Cross of Iron with the studied cynicism of all the above.

The Beast.
Soviet tank crew in Afganistan.

Permission to kill.
A cold war none the less ... Smileys People never had it so good

Ashamed to see no mention of Dambusters or Battle of Britain or In Which we Serve etc ...

How about M*A*S*H for the more lefty mob? A mention for The Dear Hunter?

Kagemushe? Hotel Rwanda? March or Die. I'll stop after this:

Saving Private Ryan has a bunch of guys with a top notch sniper run up a hill in broad daylight -frontally, mind - to assault an entrenched position. AND at the end they don't simply blow the bloody bridge. I have many Yank friends. Some from L.A. . None are that f***ing stupid. Blondes included.
