Several of you have mentioned Das Boot. It is worth mentioning that the only way to watch this movie is with the German language sound track turned on, with English subtitles. Or not on this latter, if you speak German (I don't). IMNSHO.

Stalingrad is like that,got to see it on the big screen the first time,awesome,got a friend and went back the next day and saw it again.

Here is a forgotten one.

The Story of Dr.Wassell.
stars Randolph Scott as Dr.Croyden M. Wassel the true story of a country doctor who goes to China to help the Christian missionarys,falls in love but is separated when the war begins,(I think,it's been a while since I saw it.)Ends up escorting wounded out of Java, ordered to leave stretcher cases behind he disobeys orders to rescue some of the badly wounded and get them to safety, in the end he meets his true love again or something to that effect. I believe the real Dr.Wassell received the Navy Cross.

Oooooh yeah, Laraine Day is the starcrossed lover, be still my heart.
