anyone seen "jarhead"......it's no das boot,deerhunter or Apocalypse now but it's a bloody good romp which shows the surreal/ridiculous nature of the gulf war with one hell of a pumpin' soundtrack......

and another gulf war fave for the list is 3 Kings with Clooney, Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonz.....that is a modern classic antiwar film!!!

oh and by "Stalingrad" are we talking about "Enemy at the Gate" the sniper film starring Ed harris + Jude Law by Jean Jaques Arnaud.....if so that is brilliant and a classic

Did anyone ever see Volker Schlodorff's "The Tin Drum" ......the story of a little drumer boy in nazi Germany who refused to grow in protest at the war....probably my favourite antiwar film of all time.....

and for sheer beauty Terence Mallik's "The Thin Red Line" is a mysterious masterpiece........
