good recent military movies...

[Wuffsunie]

Buffalo Soldiers.

Not really about war, more about peace and what you do with soldiers during it. A very black comedy, but very good. You get to see what a tank crew wasted on heroin can do to a VW Beetle and a gas station.

Really, everything else has been mentioned. Band of Brothers is still the ultimate, though.

Recent war movies that I like are:

Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
We Were Soldiers

 

[Kipper]

The Great Escape
Glory

Those are off the top of my head...
