[Bruce Wang]

Here are the the best war movies:

12 O'Clock High --Gregory Peck, Dean Jaeger -- best of the best
Das Boot  -- stupendous u-boat epic, a masterpiece.  Best viewed with subtitles.
Stalingrad -- phenomenal battle scenes; Ostfront epic
Downfall (Bruno Ganz is the best Hitler ever, way better than Guinness or Hopkins-- last days in the bunker)
Patton -- George C. Scott is top of the heap
Letters From Iwo Jima -- Eastwood-directed Iwo from Japanese viewpoint
Fog of War -- Robert McNamara admits his first choice was Stanford.  Very candid about Vietnam.

Oasis,

Your terrific list of great war movies neglects to mention the following.  One for each war:

The Patriot
Glory
Paths of Glory
Stalag 17
Dr. Strangelove
MASH
Full Metal Jacket
Three Kings
Hurt Locker
Zero Dark Thirty
