I don’t know if they are on TV this weekend, but my favorite war movies are black and white movies from the late 1940’s.

A Wing and a Prayer (best war movie made during the war)
Battleground
Sands of Iwo Jima
They Were Expendable
Go for Broke (the story of the Nisei 442 Regiment)

I don’t like war movies that show actresses wearing 1965 hairdos and use California National Guard tanks painted with German colors.

You left out “God is my Copilot”. And on the German tanks, did you expect Hollywood to come up with a couple hundred REAL German Panzers. Get real, they had to improvise. Picky picky!
