Robert Altman's 1970 comedy-drama set during the Korean War: "the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital is stuck in the middle of the Korean War. With little help from the circumstances they find themselves in, they are forced to make their own fun. Fond of practical jokes and revenge, the doctors, nurses, administrators, and soldiers often find ways of making wartime life bearable. Nevertheless, the war goes on..."

I must admit to preferring the TV series to the film, but they're both exceedingly well written and great fun to watch
