What is your favorite military documentary?

There are many documentaries on DVD and Blu Ray about war, weapons, battles , and military history. You have seen high dollar sets and those in the bargain bins at discount stores. What is the best one you have personally seen? Which would you recommend?

I do not know if it qualifies as a "documentary", but I love the History Channel's "Dogfights" series.

The War by Ken Burns. I love all his films but this one has stuck with me for many years as my favorite.

Ken Burns does quite a few good documentaries. The Civil War is an excellent one, as is The War. I really liked WWII in HD. There was one WWI documentary series that I watched on the Military Channel a few years back that I enjoyed. The West is also another great documentary by Ken Burns.

There was one other one I watched this weekend that was produced by the Smithsonian Channel called History in HD: Shooting Iwo Jima. (http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/history-in-hd/shooting-iwo-jima/692/134976).
