After watching Band of Brothers time and time again i was thinking what other top quality War films etc are out there, the only one i could come up with worthy of watching was Saving Private Ryan.
Anyone watched any good war films? Suggestions welcome as i need new material

Just finished watching Band Of Brothers, thought it was . May have to invest in the Blu-Ray set now.
Apparently they are doing a similar series focusing on the pacific war with the japs.

Tora Tora Tora is much better than Pearl Harbour but both worth a watch (if you can put up with the love story running through PH)
Memphis Belle?

You've just gone up a notch on my respect-o-meter.
I was about to post Downfall not thinking anyone would have suggested it
