We Were Soldiers
(2001) - a Vietnam War drama, based on the true story of how "helicopter soldiers"
(of the US Air Cavalry) were introduced into modern combat during America's first battle
against NVA troops. Except for the unconvincing digital effects of jets dropping napalm
bombs, the airborne scenes are excellent, with good use of Hueys to land a regiment in
the Ia Drang valley.
