Me too! Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see you list one of the best war movies ever made. Errol Flynn in "Objective Burma", 1945. It's a great film.
One more. "The Longest Day" is one of the finest historical movies on WWII ever released. Covers everything. You place it in the honorable mention catagory. Wrong! In addition, "Saving Private Ryan" pales in comparison to the overall quality and story telling of "The Longest Day".
There are several other disagreements I have with your list. But these are a few glaring errors I found. You touched most of the bases.
Yes, The Longest Day was more historically accurate as it was based on fact from the best selling book while Saving Private Ryan was a fictious plot that was more historically correct in uniforms, weapons and very realistic in showing the horror and bloody carnage of combat.
6 of one, half-dozen of the other. Both are great films and we can agree to disagree...
Yes, overlooked Objective Burma as I am sure I missed others.
