NCA,
"Come and see" thats a good film. A war film with a different angle to it.
Regards to all, Simon.

Lot's of good films being mentioned on here....Not sure if they were mentioned, but below are some of my favorites:


WWII
Hell in the Pacific - The ending just makes sense to me...
The Big Red One - When Lee Marvin looks into the camera after the new guy blows off his balls - Classic!
Kelley's Heroes
The Great Escape
Enemy at the Gates
Miracle at St. Anna
Inglourious Basterds

Vietnam
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Hamburger Hill
Casulties of War
Deer Hunter

Modern War
Black Hawn Down
Hurt Locker


These are some that aren't necessarily war movies, but are semi related:

Jacobs Latter
Shock Waves (awesome zombie flick about Nazi Zombies )
Brothers
Tropic Thunder
The Reader (chick flick, but well worth watching!)
Apt Pupil
Marathon Man

I could probably go on and on, but I'd say these are the ones I've seen multiple times and when on, I have to watch...

Can you remember the war film based on a true story where a group of Aussie soldiers were executed by beheading by the Japanese because they refused to give out information?

It always stuck in my mind but I cant remember its name
