That is not a bad list although Merrill's Marauders is not a good movie and BR1 is overrated. I will say that percentage-wise the Vietnam War has produced the highest quality movies of any war. I would put Korea at the lowest.

All of the eight movies that made it to the semi-finals are good movies, although I am not the world's largest fan of the deer hunter. That is pretty impressive, since it means that half of the movies made on the Vietnam War are good and worth watching. The same could not be said about WWI, WWII or even the more recent Korean War.historyonfilmhttp://www.historyonfilm.comnoreply@blogger.com
