My personal list would be,
1. We Were Soldiers.
2. Black Hawk Down.
3. Midway.

    1. Letters from Iwo Jima.  ( I liked seeing the war from the eyes of the "average" Japanese soldier, and the fact that although they were labled "fanatical", that (many) of these men were not much different from our boys over there fighting, Wives, familys, hopes, dreams and fears.)
    2. Midway  ( Just because.... I mean....Its Midway!! )

    3. Battle of Britian

Honorable mentions * The longest Day, Gallipolli (sp) Zulu, and Most any Richard Burton WWII movie.

Great post  :salute
