The field is a mess and it is a few years since I taught in the States.
A few of my favorites...
For revolution and insurgency theory, watch Fight Club, Mississippi Burning, and Red Dawn.
To learn to how to deal with tribal elders, watch Frost/Nixon and Rounders.
For SFA/FID, watch Glory and Dear John.
To deal with multiple tours, I'd recommend Animal House and The Hangover .

Do you want to focus on military operations in foreign insurgencies, or COIN?
Movies like Ghandi or Malcolm X off the top of my head might help your crew to step back and expand their perspectives a bit. This is all about populaces under a governance they find intolerable, illegitimate, or both; who also have no legal means of redress to ragain or gain control of, or even shape their governance; so they resort to violence.
The military aspect is usually one of pipehitter for that government. Much like the goons who would be set upon workers attempting to unionize a century ago in the states.

"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self." Colonel Robert C. Jones, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
I suggest taking a look at "Broken Arrow" the one from 1950 with Jimmy Stewart. If you ignore the Hollywood insurance policy romance and one or two slightly too noble savages, it was pretty good. It had a lot to say about knowing the enemy, knowing why he was the enemy and showing him due respect. I think there is a lot from the conflicts with the Apaches that could be applicable to things today.

I have only seen previews but the new "Robin Hood" movie with Russell Crow.
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.

Yes you are correct unfortunately I cant type and spell at the same time... LOL
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.

This is a current battle in my world. We assume that when a non-profit or governmental institution uses it (such as the Army), then Fair Use may apply, depending on the size of the clip in relation to the whole from which it was taken.
However, for a for-profit enterprise (such as a for-profit defense contractor), this may not be the case. A possible solution here is to ask the customer (Govt) if they have or can acquire permissions to show the clip.

Have any of you screened this film?
Quite interesting though it has a distinguishable political spin on it.
