Wow.

Looking at that top 100 list .. I have seen all of them .. some multiple times.

For myself, the ones I enjoyed watching the most for various reasons..

1) Kelly's Heroes .. my Dad said he knew all those characters, especially the Sherman guys, he said that's what most were like :)
    He was Fwd Radio Observer, Patton's 3rd ..landed D-Day+3 and was there till well after V E day, useda watch Sherman's take on Tigers,
    ..it always took 3 .. first two would get shot by the Tiger, 3rd would get close-in on it's 6 and destroy it. They defined bravery.

2) Battle of Britain .. just epic

3) Memphis Belle (the early one is more accurate, the late one is just cool to watch B-17's in action .. always been a B-17 nut)

As others have said .. just soo many others that are just as good.

The Thin Red Line?  Where you on crack when you watched it?  That has to be one of the crappiest war movies ever made.  
C'mon now AKAK, no wrong answers here, its personal opinion, :)

Some great lists going here.

(Yikes Saving private Ryan sure is popular.)
