All I mean by "realism" is a lack of things that are obviously implausible.
Saving Private Ryan (which I have not seen) and Full Metal Jacket (which I have) were two very successful movies which depicted war in a realistic and not very pleasant fashion. I'm not sure "entertaining" is the right word but I have a lot more respect for such films than ones full of sanitized cartoon violence.
