Movie sought

I was in Blockbuster a few months back and whilst rimmaging through their pre-owned bin I saw a movie about the American Marines in the Great War. At the time I couldn't fit it into the deal bundle and had spent enough.
Of course I now regret that decision but for the life of me cannot remember the name of the movie. I do know that it was not a documentary or any such but a fictionalised version of the US Marines expereince.
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks guys.

I know it's not "The lost Battalion" 'cos I've already got that one.

I'll buy "What Price Glory" and yet somehow I thought it was made later than that - perhaps it was just the way the cover showed in the basket.

either way many many thanks- birthday money spent!!

I suspect that it may be Company K (2004) if it had a picture of troops and a picture of a British tank on the cover

Company K (2004)? About US Marines in WW1 with troops and a British tank on the cover.

Right that's the one!
Company K now on order. I'll have plenty to watch now once I'm on r&r.
