Yep these two for me as well although I would add Deerhunter

Some great shouts above but can't agree with Enemy At the Gates, other than some excellent action shots at the start it's hard to find much to like about it personally. Most of the plot feels very tacked on and the fake russian accents are nails on a chalkboard. Ron Perlman is great in it mind.

Some of my favourites which I haven't seen mentioned yet:

The Thin Red Line

Stalingrad (1993 one, not the newer Russian film)

Downfall

Letters from Iwo Jima

The Admiral - it's a newish Russian film about one of the leaders of the anti-communist armies (the "White Army" during their civil war) Great action stuff and the story is really interesting, good look into one of the weirdest times in recent history.

If they made enemy at the gates anything like the book it would never get a certificate , far too graphic and harrowing

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Does Inglorious Basterds count?

Indeed

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Ice cold in alex,what a great film

Yes when he rips off Robert Shaw's neck pendant that would have given him away as an officer and meant he would have been shot

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Not strictly a war film but soldier blue and the brutal massacre of native American Indians

Don't think this has ever been shown on tele.

Wasn't it a dig at the Vietnam War, by some who were trying to show the American government up.

Yes I know it was based on a true story

Soldier Blue has been on TV, but so much was cut it was pointless.
