In another thread, I mentioned how Hollywood generally botches military movies, but once in a while, they do a themed military movie that is somewhat decent. Movies with minority themes are generally done to an acceptable standard. That said, think about some of the movies you have seen and tell me about them and why you liked them. I liked Glory, A Soldier's Story, and The Tuskegee Airmen.

By far one of the best Civil war movies that shows how dedicated Black troops were to the Union, especially the MA Fighting 54th.

I follow...interestingly, it had Pat Morita from The Karate Kid movies in it, which I found an unusual role for him, I think it was one of his last, at least I gather that was the case, at any rate....

You have to put on subtitles, but the Korean films, "Tae-Guk-Gi: The Brotherhood of War" and "My Way" are awesome films. I'd also look into "Windtalkers", "Tora Tora Tora" and "Letters from Iwo Jima".

I thought about Windtalkers, but it seemed to me that the focus was more on Enders and on his anger and on his obsession with fighting than it was on the actual Code Talkers and their extraordinary contribution to WWII. Letters from Iwo Jima and its partner movie, Flags of our Fathers, were both awesome Clint Eastwood offerings.
