[Dr. Sivana]

I loved “The Great Escape”, but for a straight up war movie I liked “Waterloo” (1970, Rod Steiger). That one shows how to do a CGI free battle scene.

[Spacetrucker]

One of the first, if not THE first on your list should be “We Were Soldiers”. Best friend of my father-in-law was a scout sniper in Vietnam. He said, without any hesitation, that THAT movie was as close to the real thing as any movie has ever been.

1. All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

4. Cruel Sea (1953)

[Sirius Lee]

These have been all great lists/suggestions on this thread.

I'm surprised that "The Battle of Britain" and "Dunkirk" didn't make the list.

Must not be very many Spitfire fans out there.

Also, an honorable mention for "Dawn Patrol"

For Who the Bell Tolls should in the mix somewhere. But Saving Private Ryan is going to be hard to beat for Best War Movie.

Kelly’s Heros? You gotta have Kelly’s Heros.

[OKSooner]

One certainly agrees with your number one choice. Gary Cooper made a better Sergeant York on the silver screen than Sergeant York his own self would have. Nothing against Alvin York, mind you.

(One still hates those ******* krauts for what they did to Pusher.)

Hopefully someone mentioned Glory:

Roman slave rebellion and ORIGINAL Spartacus. NO CGI when the LEGIONs rolled over the hills:

“The Lost Battalion” with Rick Schroeder is very good.

Missed Zulu.
