I am on war movie kick, especially modern ones centered in the middle East. I just watched Body of Lies and The Hurt Locker and they were both AWESOME.

Any others that I should check out? I've seen The Kingdom, Jarhead, and Battle for Haditha.

It probably doesn't qualify as a "war movie," but you should definitely see Zero Dark Thirty if you haven't already.

Watch Generation Kill. It's an HBO miniseries following a platoon of Marines during the invasion of Iraq. Like a modern day Band of Brothers and it's fantastic. It's realistic and shows the not so glorious or heroic sides of these conflicts that most movies and shows leave out.

I love 3 Kings. The movie is pretty funny and has tons of action.

The hurt locker is pretty terrible. I've been wanting to watch generation kill.

I know it has nothing to do with Iraq, but Act of Valor is a movie definitely worth watching.

Sure the acting is god awul at times, and it was given terrible reviews by movie critics, but a friend of mine that is a former SEAL said that movie is one of the best reenactments of his time as a SEAL.

TIFWIW

"Over There" was a serires on FX. It only lasted one season, but I really liked it. I don't know if its available on NetFlix or not.
