Re: Best post WWII Military Films
Lone Survivor 2013
Is a must see on anyone's list of Afghan war movies. Riveting battle scenes.
In the photo is Muhammad Gulab, the Afghan villager, the so-called "savior" of Marcus Luttrell, who guarded him according to Pashtunwali, the honor code requiring Gulab to protect Luttrell, until Luttrell was eventually rescued.
Check out this trailer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xxa5eS31Hk, for the real deal portrayal of the running battle according to Luttrell's account in his memoirs.

It's not a movie, it's an experience. 
I watched it when it was released and fell in love with it as a boy.

Re: Best post WWII Military Films
'The Wild Geese' (1978) Actor Ian Yule was actually a former soldier and served under Major Mike Hoare in the Congo. Actually a pretty good film on the whole and filmed mainly in South Africa.

I remember watching this on VHS some time in the 80s. Having said that, I remember NOTHING about the film. Thanks for reminding me it.

Very good film. Not shown too often though. If I remember rightly, I think I watched it on YouTube once. That is before the inevitable "copyright infringement" flag went up.
