Bridge on the River Kwai. May not be considered a "war" movie, but worth seeing and including as a classic.

Alec Guinness is even better as a military man in "Tunes of Glory" (not to be confused with Kubrick's "Paths of Glory"). It's a character study, with a small cast, but Guinness is amazing as Major Jock Sinclair.

Yes, Bridge on the River Kwai is a war film and should be listed, but as I said in my post, I was trying to mainly list war films made before 1970 for the younger FReepers...
