Midway/ A great movie and history lesson. The battle which gave us the upper hand over the Japanese.
The Devils Brigade/ Excellent character study of a commanding officer and the heavy toll that wartime decision making takes.
I cannot remember the name of the movie where the US and Canadien forces train together and go off on a difficult mission, but this movie has it all. Humor, sadness, intensity.

The Devil's Brigade was the film about the joint US/Canadian Special forces Commando..great film..Midway was ruined by the PC story line about the Navy pilot whose fiance was Japanese-American, and was interred with her family...For aerial footage, Tora 3x was better..

I thought Tora, Tora, Tora was a great movie to give you the behind the scenes workings of the United States and Japan hours before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Battle of the Bulge, and Patton also come to mind.

The Battle of Britian is also a good one.

Favorite though... I'm still thinking on that one.
