I dunno - Black hawk down I fell asleep too, twice. Too many 'Oscar' speeches and American patriotic twaddle. I like movies where they're trying to do the history justice rather than writing fictional characters in to make them look like heroes.
Oh, so many...

Dambusters
633 Squadron
Guns of Navarone
Escape to Victory (Stallone - ha ha)
Kellys Heroes (Donald Sutherland was priceless in this)
On list too - cheers :)
