Hmm, surprised 3 pages in and no one has mentioned Letters from Iwo Jima.
I think this companion movie to Flags of our Fathers (which was good, but not as good), told from the Japanese perspective is arguably Clint Eastwood's best movies. It is refreshing to see a movie told from the perspective of one of the Axis powers and to see the turmoil that many of the Japanese soldiers felt during the battle. Be forewarned, it is completely subtitled, so unless you speak Japanese, you're in for a lot of reading.
