there are so many movies set in and around the vietnam war that most people can name three or four off the top of their heads and probably have one in their top-twenty favourite movies.

i can bring to mind only two movies set during the korean war (mash and the manchurian candidate).

can anybody suggest others (worth seeing)?

Porkchop Hill
Tagline: Bold! Blunt! Blistering! The battle picture without equal!
Plot Synopsis: American GI's must retake a baren hill in Korea that has been overrun by Red Chinese troops. The insuing battle becomes a meat grinder for American and Chinese alike. This story of a an actual battle is all grit.

Bridges at Toko Ri (1955)
A powerful study of courage in the face of irrational odds, The Bridges at Toko-Ri (based on James Michener's novel) is no less patriotic than many other war films, but it dispenses with gung-ho bluster to focus instead on the very real and tragic consequences of war. This is also one of the first films to openly criticize the morality of the Korean War while praising the honor and integrity of the men who fought it. Lt. Harry Brubaker (William Holden) is one of those men, with one difference: A lawyer with a loving wife (Grace Kelly) and two young daughters, he's been recalled to duty from the Navy Reserve, and reluctantly accepts his mission to fly with a bomber-jet squadron over one of the Communists' most heavily protected targets--the strategically vital bridges in the Korean canyon of Toko-Ri.
 
Isn't "We Were Soldiers" (the one with Mel Gibson) set in the Korean war?
