Think you covered most of them there.Will like to add The Ogre,not strictly a warmovie,but set in wartime.Not as good as the book,but Malkovich almost always make a movie worth watching.It is good,but slightly rough round it's edges.

Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith fit the thread better as Star Wars is set after the war

[koontz1973]

Add Starship Troopers to the list though.

[Crimson King]

Add some Civil War movies to the list

Gettysburg
Gods and Generals
Gone With The Wind
Ride With The Devil
The Blue and The Grey (miniseries)
The North and the South (miniseries)
The Good, the Bad and The ugly
Major Dundee
The Colt
The Great Locomotive Chase
The Beguiled
How The West Was Won
Birth of a Nation
Glory
Dances With Wolves
The Outlaw Joey Wales
Love Me Tender (yes, the Elvis Presley film)
The General

[HotRats]

Cross Of Iron. One of Peckinpah's best, brutal and unheroic but with moments of visual beauty.

84 Charlie Mopic. No budget Vietnam classic. The infantry seen up close without bombast or heroics, easily as good as Platoon and Saving Private Ryan, maybe even better

Attack. Robert Aldrich's film showing the danger to soldiers can easily come from their own weak, stupid officers

[UK_fan_05]

The Patriot.

[samdaman94]

[brps3]

No particular order

Kelley's heroes (Clint Eastwood)

Midway

Battle of the Bulge

Green Beret (John Wayne)

We were soldiers

Glory

Saving private Ryan

The Beast (its about a tank)

Gettysburg

Full metal jacket

[Duffy12]

- Kelly's Heroes

Three more to add to the list:

Hamburger Hill

U571

Heartbreak Ridge

[Spitfrnd]

I think the list and additions cover the genre pretty well but you really do need to add Master and Commander, Waterloo and War and Peace.
