So many great war movies. Hated Apocalypse Now, along with everything else that Oliver Stone has done, with the exception of JFK which was decent.

A real sleeper is the Aussie movie Breaker Morant, based on the true story of a of Australian soldiers, loyal to the English Crown, who were sacrificed for political purposes by an English military tribunal during the Boar War. Vastly underrated fare,

Also like 1992 Last of the Mohicans, and of course my all time favorite movie, Braveheart.

I agree. Breaker Morant is one of my favorite movies of all time. The book, "Scapegoats of the Empire" has been out of print for a long time but you can still find a real dogeared copy on Amazon or Celibris(sp?)
