Paths of Glory to me is the greatest war movie.
Also vote for They Were Expendable.
Not sure if mentioned, but just saw the following about 5 years ago -- didn't know anything about it.
Pretty devastating and horrific. Doubt I will watch again.
Come and See (1985).
Come and See (Russian: Ðди и ÑмоÑÑи, Idi i smotri; Belarusian: ÐÐ´Ð·Ñ Ñ Ð³Ð»ÑдзÑ, Idzi i hlyadzi) is a 1985 Soviet war drama/psychological thriller film directed by Elem Klimov about and occurring during the Nazi German occupation of the Byelorussian SSR. Aleksei Kravchenko and Olga Mironova star as the protagonists Flyora and Glasha.[2] The screenplay by Klimov and Ales Adamovich had to wait eight years for approval; the film was finally produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory in World War II, and was a large box-office hit, with 28,900,000 admissions in the Soviet Union alone.
