    Almost there

    Gallipoli. With 2 'l's. And that one was set during the first world war. And it's in Turkey, not Africa. The last Oz veteran of the Gallipoli campaign died recently.

    If the film you're thinking of had Mel looking a bit more up-to-date it may have been 'The Year of Living Dangerously'. He played a journalist caught up in (? not sure) the Indonesian invasion of East Timor. I could be well wrong on that one.

    Grave of the Fireflies and then Doctor Strangelove get my vote. Apocolypse Now and Saving Private Ryan are good too.

    Tombstone of the fireflies and gallipoli were pretty good.
    Unlike all quiet on the western front.
    Anyone here post for FMJ? Ive only heard the yelling at the start but that was pretty entertaining.

    Pearl Harbor, I really like the story and the characters, especially Ben Affleck's character. :D

    No offense venus, but Pearl Harbor sucked, of course thats my opinion. Love stories doesn't mix well with war movies.

    Wolfwood, I've seen Full Metal Jacket, if that's what you were reffering too. The first half is really cool, about when they're training and stuff, but the second half sucks a bit. Private Pile ruled.
