I never would have thought of Gibson as "anti-English." I simply would have concluded that he made two movies in which the English were the antagonists. Does his role in We Were Soldiers mean he's anti-Vietnamese? Does his role in Payback mean he's anti-police? Simply seems like a rather silly assertion to me.
For those looking for a Korean war movie, I second the motion with Tae Guk Gi. It is as fully capable of grabbing you by the short and curlies as Saving Private Ryan.
I know the US is probably just about WWIIed out by this point, but what was the last realistic movie about the war in the Pacific? Windtalkers certainly doesn't qualify.
I'd like to see something about the [SIZE=-1]Russo-Finnish War. More specifically, I'd like to see a movie about Simo Haya. GI Joe walked the earth, but he was a Finn!
There are so many other sides to WWII in Europe besides D-Day through the conclusion of the war. I don't think you could go wrong with a movie about any of it. Enemy at the Gates interested me in spite of its inaccuracies and foibles for the simple reason that it covered something out of the norm for WWII movies.
