I agree with those who say "Patton".

Although your question was about WWII movies, I would add that "Sgt. York" was the best war movie of all time. "All Quiet on the Western Front" was also good.

For the women: White Cliffs of Dover. Irene Dunne has a beautiful monologue about how the Yanks and the Brits come together for the good of mankind. Wonderful.

Douglas Sirk's WWII opus, "A Time To Love And a Time To Die" based on a novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Most poignant.

While I'm definitely not prepared to add this to a "best of" list yet, I watched "Ike" on A&E last night, and it did a pretty good job of portraying the tense political and command decisions that Eisenhower was faced with. I didn't see too much in the way of PC non-sense either, even to the point of depicting Ike's chain smoking. All in all, a good job, IMO.
