What say you? I figured this was a topic more suited for D&ST rather than the Everything Else forum.
For me:
1. Saving Private Ryan (Truly exceptional filmmaking by Spielberg...really showed me what WWII and D-Day was like.)
2. Apocalypse Now (Like above, it really showed me how soldiers act when in war)
3. Das Boot (A terrific film that shows a different perspective...the Nazi's perspective and how some of them WERE human just like our soldiers.)
4. Full Metal Jacket (Shows the strain boot camp and war itself takes on Marines.)
5. Braveheart (Details a fairly unknown war and how William Wallace led his fight for freedom so valiantly.)
Honorable mentions:
Tora! Tora! Tora!
All Quiet on the Western Front (Which I just saw for the first time recently)
The Thin Red Line
The Great Raid
Letters from Iwo Jima
Flyboys (Being an Air Force fanatic, something about it just attatched to me)
U-571
Black Hawk Down (I can't believe I forgot this one)
