Wow. I can’t believe this thread is 10 years old. I remember how much work and how long it took to make it with all the pics (that no longer work) and shite. 
Still a great movie though. As for where it ranks, I’d still rank it exceptionally high. Have there been many truly excellent war movies in the last ten years? I know there have been some, but how quality are they?

It is the modern day equivalent of The Longest Day or A Bridge Too Far. The only films remotely comparable are things like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World or the epic disaster flicks of the 70s.
ETA: Krikey, Cokes - this is a crazy bump (and we covered a lot of these issues back then.)
I was just watching Modern Family clips the other day and recalled, "Ty played the PJ in Blackhawk Down."

Yeah it’s an awesome OP.
I was looking at imdb and saw Kate Beckinsale listed. Was she the one that answered the phone (too late) when one of them called home?
Also, Jude Law
ETA: Nvm, that was a Google search of “cast” which is incorrect

For Blackhawk Down? I don't think that's right. Pearl Harbor (2001), maybe?
The scene where the wife gets the message (from Randy Shughart, Johnny Strong's character, to his wife), the wife was played by GIannina Facio, who Ridley Scott put in several of his movies of that era (e.g., Saladin's sister in Kingdom of Heaven, Maximus' wife in Gladiator, and she is Scott's wife since 2015.)

My bad, that was google’s “cast” list. Neither on imdb.
That’s interesting though

I know most of this, but Kim Coates is in this? I need to rewatch, such an underrated war movie.
Pretty sure he was the delta guy that got blown in half.

the americans got lucky that the dickbags were high and terrible shots.
I felt they trained under storm troopers before chewing on that bark stuff.
