Is letters from Iwo Jima better than Flags of our Fathers?
Yes, much better. Flags is dire, Letters is just about bearable. And I use 'bearable' in the loosest sense of the world, as I despise Clint Eastwood's directorial credits almost as much as his acting (his partnership with Clyde excluded, of course).
Band of Brothers was great, if slightly bewildering (far too many characters all vying for attention, with the added bonus of seeing Simon Pegg in a tiny role, and David Schwimmer bellowing a lot).
Schindler's List is a modern classic, and Neeson is great as the eponymous hero. Probably the last great film that Spielberg made (Saving Private Ryan's first 1/2 an hour was epic, the rest was a bit lacklustre imo).
Gladiator, does that count as a war film? It's got a war at the beginning, anyway. Great film, but meant Russell Crowe now officially cannot act.
And, finally, I put in a vote for the Crusade sequences of Robin hood Prince of Thieves. Kevin Costner, the acting machine, hard at work as ever
