Peckinpah's "Iron Cross" is pretty much the anti-romantic vision of war. "Johnny Got His Gun" is another one. "Breaker Morant", "Gallipoli", and "The thin red line" also are un-romantic visions.

For the record... "Saving Private Ryan" is one of the MOST romantic visions of war, imo. A few well cut battle gory sequences don't change that.

Good way to know the difference... If you feel like shit and hate the idea of war and want to join Johnny Clips in a world free of fucked up Governments then you saw an "un-romantic" vision of war. If you feel like "thank God for the heroes that died for me to enjoy these freedoms while trying their best to kill others to deprive them of theirs" then you saw a "romantic" vision of war.
