I've not scrolled past the first 50 posts, but I can't believe no one has mentioned two of the greatest war movies ever made:
1) The Longest Day
2) In Harm's Way
No coincidence that both starred the greatest actor (IMNSHO) in film history, John Wayne.

Hi, wku:
I've been a fan of The Longest Day since I caught the film's opening at The Chillum Drive-In when I was a kid. A massive production that tells a story well through its cast and writing. Though not so much through technique.
In Harm's Way isn't on the same scale, story wise. Though its superlative cast, especially Patricia Neal, Kirk Douglas, Burgess Meredith and Paula Prentiss pull out the stops to place the film high on my list of personal favorites.
Jack.
