Watched Restrepo recently and really enjoyed it. What are some other ones like it?

These aren't necessarily in the same vein as Restrepo, but are great war documentaries in general, Especially Fog of War

Taxi to the Dark Side is great, used to be on netflix instant stream too.

No End in Sight is a pretty good war doc about the command in Iraq - might be a little too political for some.

Generation Kill is almost documentary like with the first phase of the Iraqi invasion.

I haven't seen Restrepo, but I did see a movie called Gunner Palace. It might be similar...looks like it.

No End in Sight is good, but admittedly it's Left-leaning.

Conscientious Objector is a great doc: Youtube Trailer

After watching Restrepo on Netflix, "Carrier" was a documentary they recommended.


Its 10 episodes and I watched the entire thing. Gives a pretty realistic inside look at an aircraft carrier, (the USS Nimitz), during a 6 month deployment to the Persian Gulf during the current Gulf War

Unofficial Trailer:

The September Tapes

It's not exactly the same, but it's pretty solid IMO.

ib4: the obvious... don't spoil it.
