    If you're bringing that up you might as well mention ABC's answer, China Beach. Unfortunately for both series though we had a real war on TV, people could care less about TV dramas when there is live combat on CNN. They were both pretty good.

        It is hard for me to include a TV series as a favorite compared to most war movies. Although as a kid my favorite show was Black Sheep Squadron and I think they did a decent job with that show even though most of the flight footage was canned crap. Tour of Duty was much the same way, I watched it and liked it.

          Are you referring to my suggestion of M.A.S.H or something else? Because M.A.S.H. was a movie first.

            Rescue Dawn for a Vietnam POW movie.
            I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

              Maybe we should get a little more specific:

              Pacific Theater war movies:

              1) Letters from Iwo Jima
              2) Bridge Over the River Kwai
              3) Tora Tora Tora
              4) Empire of the Sun
              5) The Pacific

              what else we got? I think Kwai was a great rise and overcome movie.

                  Ah yeah, that's a good one. I have it in my library... not sure how I forgot that one. Excellent - and before Christian Bale became a douchebag!

                  I added it, how's that look from a quality perspective?

                  Empire of the Sun is a really good movie, from a really unique perspective. It's just long as shit.

                              U571 is a good one, but Schinder's List that far down? I can't find of a movie that better demonstrates the reality of Nazi occupied Europe than that film.
