Black Hawk Down is my favorite War film of all time.
Great film. No real plot, and kinda annoying how they cut out everything even remotely critical of the US military (if you've read the book, the American command structure was basically the principle reason most of their soldiers died), but it's visually spectacular. Great cast too.
Speaking of the book, it's excellent. Military non-fiction can be really dry and hard to get through;
Black Hawk Down's great because the guy takes the facts and then writes it as though it's a regular novel.

I loved that film, I just wish the end didn't go all Rambo. I've mentioned it before - the first two-thirds are so gritty and realistic, it smacks of silliness to then have the Germans all marching politely in a line towards the tank that's cutting them to pieces for ten minutes. Go around? Call in some artillery?
Still good though. Absolutely loved the scene where they're all bunked up with the German family, and then half the crew come in drunk. The tension in that was through the roof.
They filmed some of it just down the road from me. That was where they got in trouble for wearing German uniforms on Remembrance Sunday lol.
