RE: Suggestions for good war movies
There are several reasons why BHD is not really accurate.

Basically the film portrays the US as good guys and the the Somalis as cartoon bad guys, failing to really explain why the UN/US was there, what was actually happening and how the actual events in the film came to be. It also ignores the fact that there were several other nations in the fight and it wasnt just the US fighting the Somalis.

The action sequences are fine except for that one scene where the hummer is racing down the streets and under fire from the roof tops and the gunner in the turret is blasting away like one of those old style actions movies, but thats just my own feeling.

The film itself leaves out several larger questions, issues and doesn't really show how much of a screw up the mission was and why the whole city came out to get them.

I like it for the action sequences, but not for the bigger picture it ignores.

This gives a good idea of what it really happend, there are some others out there but I cant find them at this time.
