Windtalkers? That's one of the shittest war films ever made.
If you really are a war movie buff..

Promise you its one of the greatest things ever to be on television..

Casualties of War. Much maligned Vietnam film, and Michael J Fox putting in a good performance in a serious role.
i´m gonna toss "the man who would be king" into the mix cos it involves two soldiers.
Guns of Navaronne & its sequel Force 10 from Navaronne
Rat Pack
Dirty Dozen
Bridge on the river Kwai
Great Escape
The Thin Red Line - A very slow but still good movie.

It is a forumla film that does not deviate & offer anythig new, but still definitely not the shittiest film made. It's just average.

Grave of the Fireflies
Black Hawk Down - Based on real events, but told with hollywood flair. A bit preachy and one-sided, but that's to be expected. Action packed ride that the war fans would appreciate.
Platoon - Gritty and raw. The Classic young soliders story of being trapped in a fecked up war they never wanted to be a part off.
Saving Private Ryan - A bit too hollywood at times, but still right up there as one of the greatest war films ever made.
Hurt Locker - Intense and uncompromising look into the mind of a war junkie. Terrific lead performance!
Generation Kill - Probably the most real account of war ever. Soldiers that talk and act like Soldiers and not cardboard cut outs.
The Thin Red Line - not recommended for the action kiddies, or those with ADD. Watch it for the visual mastery of Terrance Malik.
