Firstly i have to echo that Paths of Glory has to be all-time #1
But i can't believe that no one has mentioned (2) Zulu
3. Lawrence of Arabia
4. Where Eagles Dare
5. El Cid
eclectic list, i know, but i just wanted to highlight some great films, but seen less at the top of lists. -

I just started perusing this list and found a list I particularly agreed with. Amazing that someone thought the same as me about great films. Turns out it was me!
Well it was last November that I posted it and I am getting old! -

Not in any order
- Saving Private Ryan
- Tae Guk Gi (Korean War)
- 9th Company (Russians in Afghanistan)
- Black Hawk Down
- We Were Soldiers
Honorable mentions to - Letters from Iwo Jima (the Japanese version; very very good and interesting to see the perspective of two Japanese soldiers who want to die gloriously in suicide charge and one who thinks their lives are more important than some national duty they were forced to bear arms for)
- Full Metal Jacket (this is actually my favorite #1).

In no order, because as hard as I try, I can't place them:
- Objective, Burma!
- Battleground
- Sink the Bismark
- Patton
- The Great Escape
- Battle of Britain
