	How I Won the War (1967)			Not Rated
John Lennon acts annoying but the cuts and "stylized death?" make this film extremely interesting to watch
	Gallipoli (1981)
just watch it
	Apocalypse Now (1979)
Watch this version first. "redux" really showed me how well the orig was cut/edited. (redux greatly reduces the 'impact' of this movie IMHO)
	Stalingrad (1992)			Not Rated
Maybe a bit moralistic & simple? But it happened. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Millions of Soviets overall in the East front, which Americans know little about due to cold-war propaganda.
	The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
Loyalty & Honor. The bridge is there, in Thailand. When I was on it I was overwelmed with respect and sadness for all the people who fought & died throughout the PTO in that war.
	Three Kings (1999)
A bit touchy-feely? But, I do believe when surrounded by the death & suffering of war, people seek to do 'good'.
	A Bridge Too Far (1977)
A bad plan (if it had worked it would have been celebrated as brilliant), the Allies fail, fail miserably.
	M*A*S*H (1970)
Been a long time since I saw the movie, series is good too.
	The Big Red One (1980)
Wow, just watch this one too
	Father of a Soldier (1965)			Not Rated
