Agree - “We Were Soldiers” - noticably absent. Also add “Battle of Britain”, “A Bridge Too Far” and “Gods and Generals”. Most movies must take liberties with composites of characters and actions, but this list is missing quite a few that do that well.

On a previous post - also agree “Zulu” should bump up.

Windtalkers: should be in the bottom 10. Nicholas Cage never missed with his .45, even shooting incredible distances one handed while sliding down a hill.

We Were Soldiers: another bottom 10. Sam Elliott casually stands in the brush and shoots the NVA as they run past him. Mel Gibson yells up to the helicopter to follow him as he runs under fire to the alternate LZ. The book is great.

Other great movies: Stalingrad, The Lost Battalion, When Trumpets Fade.
