Saving Private Ryan... The landing scene was something else at the time it came out... I remember being at the movies and thinking if this goes on much longer I'm going to be sick... I also really enjoyed greyhound... Another take we rarely see of the battle of the north Atlantic. There is also hacksaw ridge which for me managed to demonstrate the horror of the conditions American troops had to deal with in the Pacific campaign...it was tough to watch

Troy is awesome 1st hour or so, just didn't care for the ending,still a Great movie.
300 is also a very very watchable movie. History has it the Spartans had about 7000 troops and about 2 thou or so at the pass. IT'S called 300 because that's how many Sparta were there
It doesn't include Allies that were also there. Still they did an Awesome job, 7 thou against 100 to 150 k,that's beating the Hell out of some odds.
Love great war films. These are prob my favorites that i'll re-watch regularly.

That's another great one! Black Hawk Down was something I watched as a teen, and I loved it.
Rudyard Kipling's son, that's it. World War One was arguably even more brutal than its successor: trench warfare, new forms of mustard gas, mortar shells, etc. It's almost impossible to imagine people living through things like that.
Lotta great movies listed here so I’m gonna throw in a couple I haven’t seen mentioned:
Das Boot: an inside look at a german sub after the allies figured out how to hunt them down. Those subs were not nearly as sophisticated as they are now. Very tense.
Boys in company C: an oldie, but it takes you from a bunch of guys from all over going into the army. Follows them from boot camp through Viet Nam. It does a great job of showing the nonsense of the whole affair while guys are trying just to survive it.
