I know it's not a film in the true sense but it has all the aspects; story, cast, cinematography, etc. so I'm saying Band of Brothers
If it has t be a film, Saving Private Ryan for that opening scene, or Apocalypse Now
Downfall
battle of britain
Rabbit Leader, Red-3,
yellow nosed bastards...
Six o'clock high.
Coming down now.
Roger, Red-3. I see them.
Rabbits, break right and climb.
Fury
dambusters. The one thats not been badly dubbed for political correctness
This... this was off the scale for both storyline and acting..
And I’m really wetting my pants for the next instalment.... yes, why yes they’re making another one..
If I hold my breath now, how long before I die before it’s release ?
I feel that strongly about the film.. honestly I do.
All Quiet on the Western Front
Ice Cold in Alex
Downfall
The Great Escape
The Cruel Sea.
Ah Snorkers ! Good Ho

Tony Richardson’s “Charge Of The Light Brigade”.
The bumbling, entitled, amateurish dimwits who’s descendants are even now ‘running’ the U.K., displayed in all their horrifically stupid glory.
‘twas ever, and remains, thus.
Nominated already but Downfall.
633 Squadron, just for the Mosquitos.
Where Eagles Dare.
Where Eagles Dare, obvs
If just one, it'd have to be Apocalypse Now. Quite a few close 2nds.
I concur @rOcKeTdOg with Ice Cold In Alex. I watched it again last week and love the story and backdrop (and Sylvia Syms). Anthony Quinn's acting on the other hand.........
Mmm, tough, only one? For me Lawrence of Arabia is a favourite.
Jacobs Ladder
Kelly’s Heroes, woof woof!!
Poignant with the WW1 centenary, for me it has to be Kubricks Paths of Glory, amazing film and sums up futility of war.

Star Wars.

Surely that can't be classed as a war film (yes I do know *why* he is having the hallucinations).
I grew up watching war films and loved Dambusters, 633 Squadron and Run Silent, Run Deep. More recently I loved Saving Private Ryan (well the first part - it does get a bit sickly) and Full Metal Jacket (again the first part is the best). Still haven't seen Downfall but I really must.
Im westen nichts neues/ all quiet on the western front
I really don't tend to watch them. Still have fond memories of seeing The Longest Day at the movies with Dad. A Bridge Too Far was good.
Hurt Locker of the recent stuff for me.
And Edge Of Tomorrow is my guilty secret fave.
Dr. Strangelove. Well a war starts at the end of it.
If that's not within the rules then I add my vote to Das Boot.
