"GI Joe" one of the best ever.

"Mrs. Miniver"

Greer Garson wins Best Actress oscar in '42 (or there abouts).

One of my favorite movies that holds up to repeated viewings.

When trumpets fade blows goats.  Worst movie in my collection.  I only paid 5 or 7.50 for it, but ****, its the biggest piece of war movie crap I have ever seen.  Makes pearl harbor look great.  

Tae guk gi, like lazs said, is a good one if you haven't already seen it.  Great battle scenes and a good story.

I liked it.
Matter of opinion I guess
But its better then "A Bridge too far" which truely sucks

Wouldnt go so far as to say anything makes PH look great.
I dont thats possible.

haven't ever seen "battle of the Bulge" and it is top of my list right now.... other classic WWII movies please other than:

BoB was...eh..Ok but

Better movie on the Bulge is "Battleground"
 By far

Tigerland
Dirty Dozen
Force 10 from some damn where ( Harrison Ford )
Also on the somber side gardens of stone was good
The right stuff

Battleground, without a doubt.

Bridges at Toko Ri.  It's Korea, but lots of early Jet work off the carriers.

Air Force with John Garfield.  Wartime made with all the fun that includes but if you are interested in B17s at all, it's great.  All kinds of early B17 film around the star of the show, the B17C "Mary Ann".    Amazing how she essentially won the war in the Pacific

Das Boot - A film that follows a German U-boat. It's an emotional movie that at times had me unconsciously rooting for them for the few seconds it takes me to remember that I WANT them to fail.

Great movie.
I rooted for them.
As it was more about men then politics or idealism


First time I saw it.
It was in German with english subtitles.

I kinda liked it that way better.
Made it seem more authentic

You guys are missing a classic:

The Bridge on the River Kwai

[Goth]

Stalingrad is a must see.
Downfall was good.
The Beast if you want to see a tense modern day war movie.
Blackhawk Down is another decent one.
