A good Vietnam movie often overlooked is "Go Tell the Spartans," starring Burt Lancaster.

An under-viewed gem...

That is a good one. A downer, for sure [kind of a “DUH!” given the title], but a good one.

As far as a favorite, I would have to go with “Saving Private Ryan.” Much like “Silverado” in the Western genre, “Saving Private Ryan” takes the best parts of old war movies and presents it with good acting, modern film technology and butt-kicking sound.

Admits to a soft spot for the bazillion John Wayne war flicks.

Patton
Gettysburg
Band of Brothers (Even though it's not technically a movie)
And for some reason, I'll always watch Heartbreak Ridge if it's on.

"War of the Roses." It doesn't get any nastier than this.

That was one of the rare movies where I thought it was very well made, but too depressing to recommend or see again. Usually, I go for the movies that push emotional boundaries and sensibilities, but this one was too much for me.
