The Red Badge of Courage - though the book is better
There was one released by HBO last year but I can't remember the name. It was about combat in the Hurtgen Forrest in 1944.

Zulu is awesome..moreso because it's a very accurate depiction of the battle of Roarke's Drift......but in today's PC world, you couldn't make the film....

Right on! And the book, as usual, is a hell of a lot better!

_When Trumpets Fade_
A&E made a film late last year which,imho, is better than SPR about Major Charles Whittlesey who was ordered to take his men into the Argonne Forest and hold the Germans against incredible odds. He did so and won the CMH: _The Lost Battalion_. It's probably unavailable in video stores yet, but don't miss it when it arrives.
