No Man's Land (2001)
From Amazon:
Danis Tanovic's Academy Award®-winning satire of the war in the Balkans is an astounding balancing act, an acidic black comedy grounded in the brutality and horror of war. Stuck in an abandoned trench between enemy lines, a Serb and a Bosnian play the blame game in a comic tit-for-tat struggle while a wounded Bosnian soldier lies helplessly on a land mine. A French tank unit of the U.N.'s humanitarian force (known locally as "the Smurfs"), a scheming British TV reporter, a German mine defuser, and the U.N. high command (led by a bombastically ineffectual Simon Callow) all become tangled in the chaotic rescue as the tenuous cease-fire is...

It is not every day that you take home a boatload of awards for your first feature film, but that is what writer/director Danis Tanovic did, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best foreign film.
This is just about the best anti-war film I have ever seen. It shows the utter stupidity and foolishness of war in that...

A brilliant film that explores the territory between two warring zones represented by the two men stuck there.
If you are sick of feeling bad about the war in Iraq and need a good laugh, this is a funny, thinking-person's movie that you really need to see.
Just trust me.
