Oh yessssssssssss... Hamburger Hill! Gotta be there. One of my favorites. It shows what our guys went thru as close to realistic as possible. I was thoroughly distressed after viewing it.

Might as well mention Sergei Bondarchcuk’s version of WAR AND PEACE. Makes the Henry Fonda version look like Cliff’s Notes.
And WATERLOO with Christopher Plumber and Rod Steiger.

STALINGRAD (German version)
COME AND SEE
WESTFRONT 1918
STOSSTRUPP 1917 (Pro-German film released by the Nazis)
SINK THE BISMARK
PURSUIT OF THE GRAF SPEE
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

Yes, I can get over my anti-Russian bias, knowing they took it from the Poles in ‘39, but yes, The Brest Fortress is one of the best war movies, ever.
