Mike P asked in Entertainment & MusicMovies · 1 decade ago

Can anyone suggest some GREAT war movies from the last 5 or 6 years.?

I've been watching The Pacific on HBO and have been enjoying it very much, which got me thinking - I haven't watched many war movies since being married because they aren't really the sort of thing the wife would be watching with me.

I'm going to check out Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers. Can anyone suggest some others I may have missed?

Update:

PS - Im not too interested in "War on terror" conflicts or Iraq I.

Mostly WW 2 and older stuff as the setting

    Jarhead and The Hurt Locker.

    I understand what you are saying about the war on terror but I think these movies are more focused on the soldiers internal conflict than the war. Jarhead is based on a true story. Good luck and have you seen Saving Private Ryan yet? Its older than 6 years but is probably the best war movie I've ever seen.

    Come and See - WW2 movie; doesn't glorify war; shows inhuman, ugly side of war.
