I actually didn't like that one very much. I thought the movie was too preachy and sanctimonious. However, the actual combat scenes were pretty good.

I thought Windtalkers and Pearl Harbor were terrible movies. The rest of your list is good though. :-)

I really liked it. I found the drama to be quite gripping. Great visuals too.
