Movies about elite soldiers


does anyone have any suggestions for similar films about elite combat groups that are the best of the best?

Move to a small town. Where the rule of law still exists

"Act of Valor" - Real US Navy SEALs, real live bullets, real guns...

Of course the first suggestion had to be this *beep* B-Movie. -.-

OP, you will certainly enjoy Lone Survivor.
While it contains lots of "SEAL pathos", and some Hollywood'esque scenes, it portrays combat and the situation during OP Red Wings quite well.
It also doesn't stink of all the crappy and cringe-worthy "'Murica-F-Yeah!" crap like Act of Valor, which is so incredibly badly written, unrealistic and terribly acted (happens if you let soldiers play actors), it makes everyone with a functioning brain cringe, praying it to be over asap.

Also, check out Bravo Two Zero.
Not top notch when we talk about combat scenes, or production quality in general, but it has Sean Bean and is about the rather famous SAS squad Bravo Two Zero (callsign) that got... into trouble while hunting SCUD launchers in the Iraqi desert.
