My two favorites are Saving Private Ryan and Stalingrad (German version). Not a movie, but I believe Band of Brothers is the best depiction of what it was like for US forces in the European Theater.

Tora!Tora!Tora! and Das Boot, I'd say...

Full Metal Jacket... Not really a "war movie," tough.

Gettysburg for Civil War, Das Boot for WW II and Platoon for Vietnam. Loved Band of Brothers.

Glory. That movie is/was great.

 

[elrod-tom]

Patton...nothing else comes close for me.

The man was a heroic, larger than life figure. Not without his flaws, he was born to do what he essentially did - win WWII.

Ima have to go with Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan.

Zulu, Born on the Fourth of July, and of course Saving Private Ryan.

And on a lighter note, Father Goose and Kelly's Heroes.

And if intergalactic battle counts (I don't see why it couldn't), Star Wars is also an all-time favourite!

The Patriot.

Drums along the Mohawk wasn't too bad. As wasn't Gone With the Wind, and Dr. Schivago.

(I figure, why be contemporary?)
