BATTLE: LOS ANGELES
Great portrayal of modern US Military handling an alien threat on home turf.
300
Talk about making sacrifice for country...ALL 300 of these dudes die. Oops, spolier alert.
PREDATOR
The most extreme, 80's-fied roid-rampaging, cigar-chomping, mini-gun blasting soldiers ever.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
While only not technically a movie, it is the most credible blend of real military life with science fiction themes that exists. Period.
IRON MAN
Let's not forget about the fact that Tony Stark watched those soldiers die in Afghanistan, due to his weapons. His war on his own brand is fueled greatly by his guilt for these men and women. Plus those jets kinda kick Iron Man's ass.
ALIENS
Colonial Space Marines are hardcore. Except Hicks. He's always bitching.
AVATAR
While not the most flattering portrayal of a future military's goals and techniques, this movie definitely had a badass aresenal, featuring awesome mech-suits. (Just like Cameron's previously-listed film). It's Ferngully meets Pocahontas...in space!
TRANSFORMERS
The Marines throughout this series are pretty badass dudes, as most service men and women are in most Bay films. But in TF3, they step it up. Who would have thought that one of the highlights of the series would be humans flying through Chicago?
STARSHIP TROOPERS
Balls-to-the-wall, bug-blasting shameless propaganda film. Despite cheesy acting, there are some fine moments in this...pure fun to be had. Plus, Neil-Patrick Harris is a psychic. Eww, don't touch it, NPH!
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS
Veering wildly from fact, especially toward the end, this terrific revenge flick steps enough out of reality's boundaries so that I can list it here.
PANDORUM
A surprisingly great movie. Part mystery, part action, part sci-fi, with a what-the-frak-that's-awesome ending.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER
Couldn't really be more obvious.
Only one movie better than ALL OTHERS:
