So I've been on a kick lately with World War 2 films and TV series. Some of you might recall a thread I made a few months ago about TV series that made me physically uncomfortable to watch, and my example was the emotionally draining series The Pacific.
Well, I decided to watch the series again to get a better understanding of it and the characters. But now that I've finished, I'm looking for some new material to sate my thirst. It doesn't have to be World War 2 specifically; if you know any good war films, I'd like to hear them.
I've considered watching The Thin Red Line, the so-called competitor of Saving Private Ryan (if only by virtue of them both being war films released the same year). I've heard good things about the film, but I am wary of Terrence Malick's directing style. I wasn't a great fan of Tree of Life, so I don't know how the guy handles War drama.
I'm also not looking explicitly for things to kill my soul, if you know a good, entertaining or fun natured film that happens to be in a war context, lay it on me. I love Kelly's Heroes.
