I liked it a lot, would recommend it.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure some of the scenes in that vid weren't in the movie. Weird.

Ive seen it...cool movie...of course there is a love triangle heh but the movie is great...btw it is good that the movie is chechz because, overall, european war movies are better (more historic, less pathetic, u name it) than most of the hollywood stuff (ok we all know a list of good hollywood war movies which are exceptions)...also japanese war movies are also pretty pathetic
movie list for you:
EU:
Das Boot - Germany
Stalingrad - Germany
Der Untergang - Germany
Rukajärven tie (Ambush) - Finland
Talvisota (Winter War) - Finlad
Tmavomodry Svet (Dark Blue world) - Czech Republic
Idi i smotri (Russia)
Ivanovo detstvo (Russia)
Zvezda (Russia)

USA:
Platoon
Thin Red Line
Black Hawk Down
Apocalypse Now
Rescue Dawn
Full Metal Jacket
Saving private Ryan (first part of the movie which is moralising free)
The longest day
A bridge too far
Cross of Iron

Dark Blue World was excellent, it was so good to see the air war from the their perspective after Germany annexed Czechoslovakia - CGI sequence extras on the DVD were interesting too :)

That is a nice list. We (the forum) should put together a list of recommended international war films.

I would also recommend:
Ballad O Soldat (ballad of a soldier) (Russia) <- Only one combat scene but still an excellent film
The Grave of the Fireflies (Japan) <- I haven't seen but is highly recommended

"Enemy at the Gates" had weird accents but this was made up for by the river crossing scenes etc. It would have been nice if it had more "waiting" though.
Also, as Apocalypse now is on your list I would suggest "Dawn Patrol" as well (for its honesty about attrition and its use of real aircraft).

There were a few films about partisans but I can't remember anything about them.

Really hated that stupid love story. Just like hollywood crap. Always a love story.
