Platoon

Full Metal Jacket

Doom (ok, soft military)
Aliens (same as above)
Starship Troopers (yup)
Predator (C'mon, it was pretty military at the beginning)

BOTH Dirty Dozen flicks; partial to the 2nd.





I LOVED Tour of Duty on tv.

And he insisted HIS movie was NOT a Werewolf movie with Soldiers, but a WAR MOVIE where the enemy just happened to be a pack of werewolves! I guess movies like Aliens, StarShip Troopers and Doom fit in with the Genre!

I'm with you on most of them Frank, but my particular faves are:
Kelly's Heroes
Saving Private Ryan
The Bridges of Toki Ri
Bridge on the River Kwai
Gettysburg
A Bridge Too Far
Predator
The Outlaw Josey Wales (maybe a stretch, but such a cool movie)
Flight of the Intruder
Oops, almost forgot Starship Troopers, and Crimson Tide!
