Letters from Iwo Jima was pretty good too. Better imo than
Flags of our Fathers (I hate flashback movies).
I've also recently watched a couple Jackie Chan war movies that were pretty good and I recommend them.
1911 an engrossing story based on the revolution that founded the Republic of China. I thought it was a very good look at a rather obscure (to us) time in Chinese history. Apparently this was a labor of love for Chan too, it being his 100th movie.

Little Big Soldier. A fictional story of an old soldier, the only survivor of his entire army who captures an enemy general and tries to take him back to his home kingdom for a reward.

I liked them both although the constant action and movement that is naturally found in Jackie Chan movies makes it a bit hard to keep up with the subtitles.
