Suggestions for good war movies

[seabolt]

What I like about SPR is the equipment and vehicles looked real,

Real enough for you and me, yes. Of course, on boards like this, there will always be the obligatory squeaking of, "The number of bogie wheels was all wrong!"

To Hell and Back

Mmmm, this is a leading contender for "worst adaption of a WWII-themed book" in my mind. A very solid read, but Murphy clearly has his doubts about self-hagiography in every frame of the film. (And rightly so.)

I sure wouldn't mind seeing a series done about the ACW along the lines of Shelby Foote's three volume set.

For some reason, the USCW doesn't seem to translate to film. Some talented filmmakers have failed with better material than Foote. If you're only ever going to read one book about war in your life, it should be "The Killer Angels."
