       This ought to get some excellent discussion going!!!!  I would
       have ranked some of these higher - Apocalypse Now, and Great
       Escape, and haven't heard of a few, but pretty good list.

       They missed Lone Survivor, Patton, Letters from Iwo Jima, Enemy
       at the Gate, and We Were Soldiers.  Any of those if far better
       than Dam Busters, which was Damn Boring!

       I am partial to DAS Boot, was my first movie I owned on the OLD
       disc formate before Batamax or VHS cameout, and both my
       grandfather and I could watch together a share as my German is
       weak and his English is non existent.
       Though the classics are good next would be saving private Ryan’s
       parts, the scene as they land on the beachhead is epic,
       especially when the landing craft doors drop.

       I agree with Duck ,  Enemy at the Gate needs to be on the list .
       What hurts Apaco Now is the 2nd half imo ....... still more than
       worthy to be on the list . No Gettysburg , Glory, The Patriot or
       Memphis Belle either ?

       Hell and Back, There are more but my one old brain cell just
       froze and needs to be rebooted.

       List seems weighted to WWII films - my list of ones to consider
       adding are......
       Sahara (with Bogart)
       Stalingrad (1993, though the Russian one is good as well)
       El Cid
       Troy
       Lawrence of Arabia
       300
       The Searchers
       One I have wanted to see for ages is The Siege of
       Jadotville.....NETFLIX!!
