Battle of Britain - best WWII aviation movie.
Saving Private Ryan
A Bridge Too Far
Tora! Tora! Tora! - best Pearl Harbor movie.
The Longest Day - before SPR one of the best movies on D-Day.

Hmmm... on a WW2 kick?
The Longest Day... not as "realistic", but true to the facts - I like that they made the effort to show all of the forces involved.
Tora! Tora! Tora!... another good, balanced movie - showing the battle from both the Japanese and American perspectives.
A Bridge Too Far... interesting and engaging, with great playing of the fighting spirit of Airborne troops.
Battle of Britain... an oldie but a goodie, with some pretty massive air fight scenes (helps to have a lot of WW2 planes still around when filmed) - unfortunately the special effects look dated, but if you can look past that you'll find a brilliant film.
