You can buy it on 4k in digital on amazon. Amazing.
Peter O’Toole was great in everything he did. Does Troy qualify as a war movie?

“Liberation” is good too, fantastic depiction of the Battle of Kursk.

Many I could think of, but it would be hard to pin down.
Honestly, just for being one of the few that bothers with the subject, “War Horse”. What an insight into the various aspects and horrors of WWI.

“Midway” would have been one of the great war movies of all time had they not inserted a soap opera subplot.

“Midway” would have been one of the great war movies of all time had they not inserted a soap opera subplot. That's what Hollywood does.

Made to be a denigration of Patton.
Spectacular failure.

The Best Years of Our Lives
Harold Russell, amazing!
And many others.
For his role as Parrish, Russell won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1947. Earlier in the ceremony, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for “bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans.” The special award had been created because the Board of Governors very much wanted to salute Russell, a non-professional actor, but assumed he had little chance for a competitive win. It was the only time in Oscar history that the Academy has awarded two Oscars for the same performance.
Upon completion of the film, Wyler told Russell to return to school since there “weren’t many roles for actors without hands.” Russell returned to Boston University and graduated with a business degree in 1949.

“War Horse” I liked that one too, and started to list it. Glad someone did.
