All-time great war movie

If you like war stories then this is the film for you. Great setting, great acting, and awesome dialogue!! I've been told that this movie is too long but any decent war movie needs to have plentiful length to truly express the story of people trying to cope with their individual problems and views on life, not to mention the problem of war surrounding them all. The story is really an original one of a battalion of soldiers sent on a mission to rescue a private who's lost all of his brothers in the war. The way it shows the rescuing companies opinion of the rescue mission and hopes to go home themselves, or just to live through another day, is awe-inspiring. It is more violent than most war movies, but I think that the violence adds a realistic touch that is absent from alot of films in this genre.
