I recommend "The Thin Red Line (1998)" as a reference movie that is American, but not funded and appreciated by the military complex.

There are obvious exceptions - The Hurt Locker doesn't look to me like anyone in the military signed off on it. Nor Platoon (which I understand is much-liked by veterans).

I think Apocalypse Now isn't either. It was in development hell, too.
