    I absolutely love war films, or war themed films. Here's a few for you.

    The Pianist
    Apocalypse Now
    Full Metal Jacket
    Platoon

    All great watches in my opinion. The Pianist wouldn't be known as a shooter but it's a great watch and the rest of them are full of shooting.

    Generation Kill, its a HBO series based on the Evan Wright book, well worth a look IMO.
