Raellus, I agree that the movies Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers... were not as good as the books but both were far better than most war films I've watched. I thought We Were Soldiers... stuck pretty closely to the book although obviously due to time constraints the movie left a lot out.
As for Behind Enemy Lines (or as I prefer to call it, "Behind the enema line") had a couple of good moments such as the sequence showing the hundreds of steps involved in an ejector seat being activated but most of the film was absolute crap. But hey, everyone's entitled to their opinion.
Inglorious Basterds was hilarious (with some pretty grim moments too).
