So here's my list of favorite war movie or TV series:

Band of Brothers (HBO)

Saving Private Ryan

The Longest Day-- an old black and white film that was rated G, but damn that was a great movie!  The best G rated movie I ever saw, totally epic, and with an all star cast for it's day (Sean Connery when he was young, etc)

Glory

I'm not a fan of war, at all, but I do enjoy war movies though, because it shows mankind at it's most extreme.

Saving Private Ryan

i saw saving private ryan on veterans day weekend in the theater the summer it came out. there were many old men in the crowd in there with their vfw hats and their medals on. some left during the omaha beach scene in tears. nothing will top the opening scene of that movie for war realism ever.

Glory

The greatest War movie of all-time (in my opinion of course)

I happen to have a Bridge Too Far on DVD, great movie--another movie with Sean Connery who plays the general of the British airborne division that was decimated during Operation Market Garden.

yeah, I have the box set of The Pacific.  Man, that's a brutal series....

yeah, I remember even veterans from different wars chimed in on that.  I remember seeing a couple of Vietnam veterans being interviewed about seeing Saving Private Ryan, and they said that movie brought back bad memories.
