Enemy at the Gates (2001). This is pretty much a picture perfect Hollywood war flick, but is one that is done right. The glories of war are shown in a dismal and squalid light, a theatre difficult for any man to become inspired to fight. Jude Law's character, based on a real-life hero, does just that and serves as a source of inspiration to help to win the Battle of Stalingrad. The greatest obstacle to this flick was the accents and spoken languages, all of which were English and were without any attempt to at least offer up a German or Russian accent. Though Hollywood perfect in structure, with just the right amount of violence, intrigue, and sex, this film was done right, maybe a hint that tinsel town might come back around and make movies for more than just the masses. Or not.
