Commenting on AlphaSigOU got me to thinking a bit more about War films... and the more I thought about it, the more good (ie. realistic/factual) films I remembered:
Das Boot - riveting film about the crew of a German sub.
The Great Escape - while over the top at times, surprisingly it does stay very close the the actual events.
All Quiet on the Western Front - Perhaps the first "anti-war" movie made, a classic that should be seen.
Glory - The Civil War movie for me... the battle scenes (especially the end) are superbely done.
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp - odd one out, but it portrays a characture figure of the pig headed traditional British officer; rendered all the more interesting because it was filmed during the war in 1943.
