I know many people may not have seen it, but Taking Chance. Its about a Marine colonel whom takes on the duty to escort a soldier to his final resting place... was pretty moving. And by many accounts pretty spot on, especially the guys I work with that worked C-17's say people are very solemn around one of our fallen.

That was an outstanding movie. Definitely the best Kevin Bacon movie. Well, that and Tremors:)

Taking Chance is one of the best movies I've ever seen of any kind.

Hurt Locker was not good at all. Hang your head in shame.

My vote is for Restrepo unless a documentary doesn't count.

Restrepo is Awesome. And still... difficult to watch. I had to break it up into three parts over three days the first time.

Somewhere between, "Stripes" and "Blackhawk Down", the realism lies.

I'm surprised you didn't say "Sgt Bilko" and "Blackhawk Down"
