For various conflicts. For example Private Ryan for WWII. Deer Hunter for Vietnam.
Not a movie, but a mini-series.....Band of Brothers for WWII.
No particular order:
Das Boot (original German!!!)
Patton
Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
American Sniper
Letters From Iwo Jima (outstanding!!! - again, original Japanese)
Flags of Our Fathers - didn't care for it at first, especially after Iwo Jima, but its been growing on me
We Were Soldiers
There are other good ones, but those are the immediate that jump to mind. Loved Band of Brothers, The Pacific not so much, although my expectations may have been too high. Notice how "the forgotten war" is missing. Any good Korean War movies?
Haven't seen that one.Best ever Viet Nam war movie has to be Nam Angels. Hands down.

My favorites.....
French & Indian War..................Last Of The Mohicans & Northwest Passage
Revolutionary War.....................The Patriot & Drums Along The Mohawk
Civil War......................................Gettysburg & The Horse Soldiers
World War I.................................The Blue Max & Sergeant York
World War II.................................Patton & The Longest Day
Korean War..................................Pork Chop Hill & The Bridges At Toko-Ri
Vietnam War.................................Platoon & Full Metal Jacket
Good point. I added 1992, but the 36' version was also a good filmLast of the Mohicans, the one with, dare I say it, "Randolph Scott"
If we are going beyond American movies, I just bought Stalingrad by the Director of Das Boot. How about Enemy at the Gate?are we just sticking with "American" war movies?
I agree Das Boot is the best WWII movie, maybe the best "war" film, but Gallipolli is pretty damn good too

I liked Zulu Dawn, but I heard Zulu was better.
"Go Tell The Spartans"...absolutely realistic, Nam.

Yes, Zulu is very fine. Michael Caine, Stanley Baker.Yes, ZULU is far better.

I forgot Run Silent Run Deep which is also one of my favorites.....Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. And the others you mentioned...all great films.Nice list. There are a number of other worthy WWII movies, such as Run Silent Run Deep, Battleground, Battle of the Bulge, and one of my favorites, Midway.
I watched one this morning that I had not seen before. About a Marines squad that was assigned to go into a Jap held island and find a man that owned a plantation there to verify information previously radio'd about a min field (in ocean) that was vital to the imminent USS landing. Can't remember the name.
Another is the movie staring Robert Wagner that also had Buddy Ebsen. They ended up on a hill, defending it against lots of Japs during a night time assault. A wacko Major was in command that ended up getting relieved. I've seen it multiple times but can't remember the name. Just looked it up on Wiki... Between Heaven and Hell.
Sergeant York is one of my all time favorites.
Not for nothing but maybe you should look at WWII movies. Men at war, Battleground,Battle cry,Steel helmet, A walk in the sun, Sands of Iwo Jima and many , many other gret movies..There are probably more good movies about the Vietnam conflict than any other war this country has fought in. Here is my list. Revolutionary war - The Patriot. For the War of 1812 - The Buccaneer(1958 version). The Civil war - Gone with the wind.
The Mexican - American war really does not have a good movie in my estimation so I will go with the "Alamo" even though that battle is a prelude to the war. The Spanish American war -Rough riders. WWI - Lawrence of Arabia. WWII - Private Ryan. Korea - M*A*S*H Vietnam - The deer hunter. For conflicts in the last quarter century I think "Blackhawk down" was pretty good. I guess "American Sniper" would cover Iraq and Afghan wars. Anybody got one for Desert Storm?
King Rat....on now.
