The Last Castle gave me a strong feeling of what "Character and loyalty" is. Great movie.

Black Hawk Down/Lone Survivor/Battle Los Angeles.....any military movie that displayed high level of comradery.

Blackhawk Down, American Sniper, and We Were Soldiers are good protrayals of the American Military. And even though its not a movie, but Band of Brothers was pretty good as well

I can't really say any movie really depicts military life accurately. My branch (USAF) is more or less mocked by the film Iron Eagle. My career field has a couple of interesting moments in a couple of films. Security Forces takes over NASA in Armageddon (I've questioned the validity of that, especially the part where they take over comms and are in control of detonating a nuclear weapon. My career field was embarrassed in the first 15 minutes of Iron Man. It's cool that SF is running security detail for Tony Stark. But, when you're engaged by the enemy and calling contact to the left, DO NOT GET OUT ON THAT SIDE! Seriously, I wanted to enjoy a Marvel movie, but found myself doing a face palm upon seeing my career field being depicted as incompetent.
