Watched that in my hotel room in Turkey when there was a massive storm. Great film. Grim, but great.

The scene in the cave with the grenades...harrowing stuff. I almost feel sorry for them having been brought up with such a brutal worldview that compelled them to act like that.

Reet. Arguing in the kip with the shortly to be be ex Mrs. Boots who doesn't like war films. I'm trying to explain that she's missing out.
My argument consists of, so far,
Come and See
The thin red line
Verdun
Cross of Iron.
For the love of our Lord Jesus Christ she's not f***ing having it.
Rocky IV
In all seriousness, Tigerland...

Binged all The Vietnam War ones last week on my week off. Good watch if not slightly biased.
I've watched Apocalypse Now, but don't really get the hype.

The acting, the scenes, the cinematography, the score, mate
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. Just not as much as everyone else seems to.
Has Carry On Up The Khyber been mentioned yet?

I'd also recommend "Lust Caution" - Chinese resistance during WWII Japanese occupied Shanghai, directed by Ang Lee. Has a love story in as well which might help you convince her

The scene when they're sitting around the table with GD Spradlin as the general, with lashings of roast beef and prawns going round is the boy

Ah, I knew of the old French film, I thought I`d missed a new blockbuster or something.

I also recommend Reach for the Sky, but for something that she can relate to why not try Carve Her Name with Pride, about a young widow with a daughter who is sent to France during the Second World War.
Another one would be Father Goose. I love this one personally. Then The African Queen, another personal favourite.
And finally, Heaven Knows, Mr Allison. All of them exceptional films and most women would enjoy them even if only for the romance aspect.
Edited, okay forget the love aspect and just enjoy the story!
