We grading historical accuracy here? Because we don't live in the Gibsonverse. Braveheart was great but a travesty of history, on a par with Pearl Harbor as far as distortions go. Patriot wasn't as good but it also glossed over a lot of the details. "We're not slaves!" yeah, right, sure....
"Saving Private Ryan" got almost everything right and is probably my Number One.
"Platoon"
"The Dirty Dozen"
Honorable Mentions:
Gettysburg
Letters from Iwo Jima
The Longest Day
Apocalypse Now
Zulu (also badly inaccurate, but a good action film)
and not to forget the film that redefined the image of the U.S. Military:
Stripes.
Still waiting for the ultimate WWII sea epic.

Again, I think remakes shouldn't be made - especially BoB - there aren't the aircraft or the actors! I also like films in black and white! ;-)
-
Stalingrad (the German-made movie)
Das Boot
All Quiet on the Western Front
Cross of Iron, with Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaames Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason
My Name is Ivan (aka Ivan's Childhood) is supposed to be very stark.
Apocalypse Now can't go unmentioned, but it ain't really about the war.
-
1969s Battle of Britain. The most original aircraft I've seen in a WWII movie.
-
The Beast (Russian tank takes wrong turn in Afghanistan)
-
Enemy At The Gates
Exactly two pages out of the book of the same name. And then they changed it up. Could have been a great film had they actually read the book. Instead it was awful.
