Lotta great WWII movies out there for sure.
But there is one that Sticks out in my mind as being not only a good movie but one of the best and most accurate pre Prvt Ryan movies out there. Called "Battleground"
An old old movie for sure and you wont see all the Gore of a BOB or Prvt Ryan.
But it does capture the flavor

Angels 1 5
Battle Of Britain
Dark Blue World
Bridge on the River Kwai
633 Squadron
The Dambusters (fantastic film)
Memphis Belle
Kelly's Heroes
Enigma

Just watched Das Boot on the Big Screen the other day.

Although it's a little too long IMO, I think it's the most accurate and realistic portrayal in a WW2 Movie.
