BTW, if you're into movie battle scenes, and I obviously am, I really think nothing compares to the epic grandeur of the LOTR battles. They're also probably the most unrealistic outside of a Mel Gibson movie.

Other favorites are "Glory" (best civil war movie IMO) and "Saving Private Ryan" (D-Day landing is incredibly horrifying). "Enemy at the Gates" is unique for two reasons: 1. shows the terrifying badassness of legendary snipers and 2. gives you an idea of how the Soviets could lose 20 million people in a war -- everyone was used as cannon fodder.
