The Intimate Enemy is a French film (DVD zone 2) which is basically the French version of Platoon in Algeria it has englich subtitles and is a very well thought out and put together film.

Michael Collins with Liam Neilson is also a good one as well.

If you are looking for a good documentary on Algeria all in french with no sub title unfortunately it is called La Guerre Sans Nam The war with no name.

Starring William Holden. This was on Turner Movie Classics last week. Deals with an American Rubber Plantation owner in Malaya during the British response to the Insurgency. Does not portray the UK handling of the situation in a terribly good light in the movie. Fantastic scene of what happens when you destroy a village as part of a pacification effort.

Something different, I think I've seen the film and IIRC it is graphic. It is on show next week @ Oxford University CCW and from their email notice:

Come and See; a 1985 film by Russian director Elem Klimov, based on a semi-autobiographical script by Ales Adamovich who fought with the Belorussian partisans against the Germans in the Second World War. Produced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory, and during the slow transition between the Brezhnev and Gorbachev eras of the USSR, there is an undoubted element of revenge fantasy and Soviet propaganda about the film. The frightening thing therefore is how accurate it actually is.
The film has often topped lists of great war films. It also often appears in lists of horror films. It is not easy viewing, described by Roger Ebert as "one of the most devastating films ever about anything".
