Gotta be From here To Eternity. Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. Doesn't get much better for that in terms of casting. That and Sinatra's Oscar make it memorable.
On the other side of the coin, we should diss Final Countdown for typically lousy performances by Martin Sheen and Katharine Ross. How they ever got parts in major motion pictures (other than eye candy for Ross) is a mystery to me. Sheen isn't bad as a mid-range character actor, but he can't carry a leading role.

The first time I saw “Tora Tora Tora”, it seemed boring. A couple of more times and it got better each time.

The Documentary that is shown hourly at the USS Arizona Visitor’s Center.
And the boat ride out to the Memorial afterwards.
(I did like “Tora! Tora! Tora!” Though)

Big fan of In Harm’s Way and Tora, Tora, Tora. Midway is a pretty good movie as well. I liked the Winds of War series but the series was not a patch on the book and the sequel which a reread periodically because I never grow tired of the story and Wouk is just an excellent writer.

Not a movie, but I loved that old TV series “Victory at Sea”. And the music track was awesome too.

Tora Tora Tora! Because my dad took me when it came out. I was 10. He was UDT 12 in WWII. I didn’t know at the time what it meant to him.
