Guns at Batasi (1964)
The East African nation of Batasi is tearing apart at the seams, and a group of British soldiers are caught in the middle. As fighting breaks out between two rival factions in the former British colony, by-the-books Regimental Sgt. Maj. Lauderdale (Richard Attenborough) attempts to preserve peace and order. But his rigid style of command becomes increasingly ill-suited to a volatile political situation in which the stability of the old era has been replaced by violent conflict.

Richard Attenburgh's performance in that film is outstanding The East African nation of Batasi is tearing apart at the seams, and a group of British soldiers are caught in the middle.

Not technically a "war" film as the fighting is not during a war. But Act of Valor. Someone else recommended it to me on here.
Its a film for when the house is empty and you can watch it full volume. The acting is awful, because most of the cast are not actors, they are real Navy SEALs.
Some of the fight scenes and gun fights are amazing.

Hacksaw ridge is io very watchable as well.
I wasn't a fan at all, the violence is so over the top it becomes almost comicalCantaloupe said:
I've lost count of the number of versions of Apocalypse Now there have been over the years
[ seriously Coppola, stop f***ing around with it, the original cut was best ]
It's probably the best War Movie ever
Agree about it being the best ever war film.[ seriously Coppola, stop f***ing around with it, the original cut was best ]

Saw the Redux version at a packed cinema years ago and remember the sense at the end of it, the whole audience were silent and shellshocked.
Incredible film.
