Some military movies got overlooked in the recognition department. I liked "The Siege of Firebase Gloria"-just because R. Lee Ermey rocked it with his one-liners! What other less-known tasty military nuggets are out there, possibly undiscovered?

The Undefeated, Horse Soldiers, any of the John Wayne cavalry classics, Major Dundee, To Hell and Back, The Devil's Brigade, A Bridge too Far, and this one I have only seen once years ago and that is the movie Gettysburg with Martin Sheen as Lee and Tom Berenguer as Longstreet.

Red Tails. Terrance Howards' portrayal of a commanding officer was spot on.

Hamburger Hill seems to get a lot of hate but I really liked it.

Alright, this thread keeps popping up in my radar so I'll break down and throw out my favorites. I haven't been able to weed through every response on here so I'm certain that i'm repeating but anyway...

My favorite foreign military movie is Attack Force Z since it's a 1982 Australian flick it's pretty underrated.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083591/

Bravo Two Zero is my second favorite foreign military movie. Also a Desert Storm movie so that's my era...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120617/

My favorite Desert Storm movie is Three Kings...not for accuracy, because that's atrocious! but it is a funny flick man.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120188/?ref_=nv_sr_1

And finally there is Taps...now it's not really underrated but it gets forgotten I think. This was a great flick despite Tom Cruise's presence...

Attack Force Z was excellent, and pretty damn intense. That was the first time I heard of the ANZACs

"Bravo Two Zero" w/Sean Bean gave me my first glimpse of what it's like to be snoopin & poopin as well a POW, and a 1998 TV movie called "The Wall" with a handful of mini-stories of names on the wall and the real life lesson that it's not always a happy ending.

I'd have to agree. Great film, that next to no one has ever heard of, and rarely even shown on TV.

I truly think either We were soldiers and Wind Talkers are some of the best movies.
