I just saw this movie recently. While it's not the best war movie I've seen, it's got an interesting story, but it's also a sad story, that talks about the story of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. Perhaps you've seen the picture? It turns out that wasn't the original flag. They had another flag, and there was a general that wanted it. A captain that it wasn't fair, so he had another flag put u[p, and that one is in the famous picture.

That was a really good movie Clint Eastwood did a really good job on directing that one If you get a chance watch letters from iwo Jima it's the same movie only from a Japanese view of what happend a the raising of the flag Clint Eastwood directed both of them.

I was going to say the same thing... Watch Letters From Iwo Jima if you get the chance..... I found it to be as good if not better than Flags Of Our Fathers.

OK, I'll check it out Letters from Iwo Jima if I get the chance. Thanks for the idea.

Well I finally watched Letters From Iwo Jima. It was a good movie but just as sad as Flags of Our Fathers. I can't believe the Japanese believed in suicide as an answer. Like the main character said, what is more honorable, fighting on or committing suicide?

love all these types of movies, tho flags of our fathers is at the bottom of this list - just didn't like the acting or the way it was filmed as much as the others
saving private ryan is probably #2 on my list btw tho since it's fiction, maybe it doesn't fit?
