I think the most realistic movies made are: We Were Soldiers, Hamburger Hill, Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan.
I enjoyed the others you mentioned, but one Civil War movie you didn't list that was really good and from the research I did was fairly accurate was Andersonville.
I am surprised you didn't mention Band of Brothers. Although there were many Airborne units that trained and jumped into Normandy and were as close knit as the company depicted in the movie, they were the ones that got all the attention. It was very common for Airborne units to be that close. First, they were the pioneers of the American Army to test, develop and use parachuting to enter the battle, so there was a certain amount of pride there, plus they got to blouse their boots, had the Airborne/glider patch for their cap, and the mighty jump wings on their chest. |

If you like Vietnam movies read "The things they carried". A true account of life in Vietnam. It's very well written and gives you the feeling of being there. I know someone that served and they recommended it. Sorry this is off topic but it just came to mind. |

Saving Private Ryan was great, the opening sequence was so real and morbid I get chills just thinking about it, truly sick |

All of the Star Wars films: not only are they just plain awesome, I really like the theme of "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions." |

Even though it is not actually a movie but a 10 hour series, Band of Brothers is by far the best war film ever made. |

I didn't care as much for 'The Patriot.' Some other good ones are 'Gardens of Stone' and 'The Longest Day.' 'Band of Brothers', of course, and 'Schindler's List' are good as well. |

I like those on your list, but "Hamburger Hill" is the best film about the Vietnam War.
The worst: "Apacolypse Now" |
