war movies really fascinate mate, especially modern wars (1990- today). I know there are tons of very good WW2 movies out there, but I prefer modern war movies.
Black Hawk Down is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I need to see more similar movies. any good advice around?
Discuss Movies like Black Hawk Down in the TC Media area at TalkCeltic.net.

Like a good war film as well. Saw The Kingdom on sky movies Friday night, well worth a watch. Here is the trailer.
The Kingdom | Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner | Official Site | On DVD & HD DVD 12/23
Black Hawk Down is one of the best, lost count how many times i saw it. -

Depends on your definition of 'modern'. If you include Vietnam-era in there then Full Metal Jacket and Platoon are givens.
*EDIT* 1990 - onwards? Scratch that then heh. -
Modern war film not many come to mind,this one may intrest you Tears of the Sun
Tears of the Sun (2003) -
We were soldiers starring Mel Gibson
Another great show. -
band of brothers is pretty good too
-

its not quite modern but anyone seen the killing fields? brilliant movie
-
Jarhead - great movie :50:
Behind enemy lines is also a good movie if you haven't seen it (2nd one's gash apparently, never seen it though)
Tears of the sun is great as well :50: -

Someone mentioned Platoon - easily my favourite war film of all time. Absolutely amazing.
Jarhead - also a very good one.
There's alot of them out there you just have to have a look.
If you're a buyer check the Virgin megastore in Glasgow in the War section.
If you're a downloader, check Virgin anyway for good titles to download.

There's a Korean movie I watched about a year ago, about the Korean War....seriously good movie but I can't * remember the name of it. Definitely worth looking out for though.
Not a traditional war film but I highly recommend Hotel Rwanda if you want to see a movie about the hardships of war and the human side! -
Whats the name of that film which stars Jude Law and Rachel Weiss(Ooft) i think it is based on Russia in the second world War, The Sniper scene is pretty good in it.
