Hm very strange that no one has even mentioned movies like :

- Das Boot *

- Stalingrad

- All qiuet on the western front (the original)

- Idi Ill smotri aka "Come and See" by Elem Klimov *

The * are the ones that I like the most.

Black Hawk Down far and away. Love the shaky-cam with the documentary type feel, the grittiness, the close-to-present-day setting, and the fact it features the Army Rangers.

The Classics:

“The Great Escape” with Steve McQueen.

“The Bridge over the River Kwai” with William Holden.

“The Dirty Dozen” with everyone.

Star Wars!

Patton: George C. Scott as Gen. Patton - The greatest single performance by a lead actor in motion picture history

Cross of Iron: One of Peckinpah's best works and James Coburn turns in one of his finest roles as Rolf Steiner, a highly decorated NCO who leads a German reconnaissance squad

Das Boot: The greatest submarine movie, and one of the best films ever made

Ivan's Childhood: Tarkovsky's visually stunning masterpiece about a boy soldier

Gallipoli: Peter Weir's tragic tale of Australian soldiers in battle of Gallipoli - the soundtrack by Jean Michel Jarre

A couple of others have mentioned it, but my favorite has to be "Paths of Glory" by Kubrick. Followed by "Strangelove", "Patton" and "Apocalypse Now".

Yes I did. I like the way you analogized the older brother with Japan at the time, though sadly enough I have more sympathy for Japan than the older brother.
