See the restored version of "The Big Red One", one of the best war movies ever.
There are three excellent war movies I saw recently, one has become one of my all time favorites:
"The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946)
If you haven't seen it, you should. It won best picture that year. Right after the war, you can see why.
"The Enemy Below" (1957)
Never been a big Robert Mitchum fan, but...a great portrayal of anti-sub warfare in WWII.
"To End All Wars" (2001)
Recommended to me by a Freeper...an extraordinarily underrated movie. I thought this came close to portraying the barbarity of the Japanese soldiers as never before. I lived in Japan and the Phillipines, and the history is not as forgotten there as it is here.
