For a 7 year old?!? really?....must be one of the goriest war films out there! lol
Good film though, but not at that age.
A couple from parts unknown to most.
Battleground, very old but very good. Zone Troopers, quirky but enjoyable.
And that brad Pitt tank film from a few years ago FURY. Can't remember if it was filled with gore, but I enjoyed it.

are you sure you actually watched it. It very definitely is not 7 year old appropriate.

Another you might wat to consider is Silent Night (2002) with Linda Hamilton and Romano Orzari.
PG rated, pretty good little film, especially at Christmas. Not an outright shooty-war type film, but set in WW2 and based on a true story.
Friend of mine was one of the producers, which is where I heard about it.
Dina Meyer's, sure though, and she's far better than Pouty-Face.

Not in SST, IIRC.

its full of tension...but 7 year olds might get sick of seeing the same bearded blokes in the same place for a couple of hours
I used to love that..why is it not available on Netflix or prime dammit!
My 7 year old just watched Kelly's Heroes from the minefield onwards upto the bit where they entered the bank and a bit of The Longest Day plus some of the aerial battles and the end bit of Battle of Britain. Fitted in well with school as they have just done WW2 as a topic.

And just how did a mind so young get into war films ? I put it to you sir that you are the one who loves all things army/war and you are now projecting this onto your son at just seven years old.
I heartily echo the recommendation for Hannibal Brooks. An excellent film for about that age. I certainly grew up on the likes of that when films of that ilk were repeatedly repeated on the BBC on a Saturday tea time, along side the classic Kenneth Moore B&W films on a Tuesday afternoon.. Then stayed up later for the likes of Kelly's Heroes and the quite similar Anzio starring Robert Mitchum. The Big Red One never seems to get a mention but it is probably just about OK for 7.

Given how anti-violence, anti-military, anti-gun and anti-war my own parents were, compared with how Army Barmy my life went, I'd put it to you that the complete opposite is also a possible influence.
