But then war movies (based on true stories or not) tend to suck badly anyway. They tend to be horribly biased, which I consider to be a bad thing.
Take "The Longest Day" for example. Classic 3 1/4 hour war film about the D-Day invasions, dubbed "how the Americans won the war for us". How much mention does it make of all the british and french resistance intelligence work? Not an awful lot.
How much does it make the Nazi's look like a poorly organised and evil rabble? Quite a bit.
Sigh.

Agreed, then again, as you said, there was Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, and also a film called The Thin Red Line
.
Stangler, you hit the nail right on the head, Citizen Kane was one the most influential movies of all time, in terms of setting standards.
I have too many favourite films, it's impossible to say just one favourite!
Here are some
:
Good Fellas
The Shawshank Redemption
Scarface
Raging Bull
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket
God Father 1/2
Millers Crossing
Minority Reports
Misery
Ah this is impossible... That and all the other hundreds of great movies I have in my collection
.
