Haven't seen the TV listings for this weekend but The Longesst Day is one of my favs. Also, in no particular order...

They Were Expendable
The Fighting Sullivans
To Hell And Back

Midway
Stalag 17
12 O'Clock High
The Enemy Below

A couple of others I enjoy catching from time to time...

Murphy's War
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
Hell in the Pacific

Not quite a "war movie" per say, but it's set with WWII as a back drop...

Island's in the Stream

And a newer movie about WWI that I have come to enjoy watching...

Fly Boys

[muir_redwoods]

Band of Brithers is the best war movie I ever saw and Gettysburg is based on the best war story ever written, Killer Angels, IMHO

[newbolt]

For those of us who lived on the water, it’s Bridges of Toko-ri.

[william clark]

Not war movies in the conventional sense, but a couple worth mentioning are:

The Great Raid

Escape From Sobibor

[NormsRevenge]

Dam Busters is on my long list.

12 O’Clock High, Tora Tora Tora, Patton, The Longest Day and Sands of Iwo Jima too.

tossin’ these into the mix too

Sand Pebbles - 1966 Steve McQueen
Objective Burma - 1945 Errol Flynn
Lawrence of Arabia - 1962 Peter O’Toole
Das Boot - 1982
Full Metal Jacket - 1987

[Talisker]

If you haven’t seen “A Walk in the Sun,” I recommend it.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

[Sparky21555]

On the lighter side two of my favorites are;

“Captain Newman, MD” Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis, and a great ensemble cast.

“Father Goose” Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.

[etcetera]

Don't forget Korea: Gregory Peck's Pork Chop Hill

And the Civil War: Ken Burn's series The Civil War

[Lmo56]

The bar scene in “Not With My Wife, You Don’t” [Tony Curtis, Virna Lisi, and George C. Scott].

Tony is married to Virna, who used to be Scott’s girlfriend. Scott wants her back.

In the bar, Tony starts a hilarious bar fight in order to keep Scott from leaving with Virna. He does this by saying to an Australian soldier, “Spit on the American Flag, will ya” ...

Mayhem ensues. Scott gets separated from Virna in the melee. Tony grabs her and almost makes it to the door.

Where Scott says, “Spit on the Australian Flag, will ya” ...

Tony then gets the crap beat outta him by the Aussies ...
