I was nosing around the video store the other day and came across a little flick on DVD that I'd never heard of before called 'Saints and Soldiers.' There are no big name actors, directors or producers, but this is a very well done WWII story about several GI's and a downed English aviator trapped behind enemy lines during the Battle of the Bulge. The story revolves around these men trying desperately to escape from enemy held territory back to the relative safety of Allied lines, while carrying potentially vital information to US Armed forces. Understated, but realistic action sequences make this story very believeable and I really think that anyone who appreciates a good war story will like this movie. Not 'Saving Private Ryan' quality, but still excellent.
