Jarhead - (Sam Mendes;2005;USA)
A 20 year old man joins the Marines, only to find the boredom of war is mentally and physically exhausting.
A great war film wonderfully directed by Mendes. The music, cinematography, and acting is all top form. It does feel longer then it is at times, but it still remains intriguing to the end. It's also very off-beat from the genre, dealing with boredom rather then the normal aspects of war films. Gyllenhaal, Foxx, and Sarsgaard were especially memorable acting-wise.
