Suggestions for good war movies

[Steel God]

I own both and yes, the movie always seems to be worse then the book doesn't it.

Yes it certainly does, and I used to always complain about (no doubt ruining the movie I was watching for anyone sitting near me, LOL) but I stopped complaining after Band of Brothers. Not because BoB "did it right", but simply because reality hit me. I mean, BoB is a book of maybe 350 pages? And they put it onto 10 hours of film, and they still couldn't get it all in there. With that realization I concluded that no movie would ever be as good as a book, because it just isn't physically possible.
