We Were Soldiers
Hamburger Hill

Both for exactly the reason stated by Don Sauno -- these are exceptional movies about real people and real events. We Were Soldiers covers only the beginning of the fighting in the Ia Drang valley. As explained at the end of the movie, Hal Moore returned to fight alongside his men in Ia Drang for another nine months.

If you have a copy of the book, I found an interesting story about the soldier pictured on the cover of the book. His name is Rick Rescorla and here\'s a link to a great piece that appeared in the New Yorker . His involvement in the events of 9/11 is especially compelling.

True stories and experiences like those at Ia Drang were always interesting. Hollywood only wants to make them entertaining.
