The Guns of Navarone for me.

I do enjoy all the classics though. One that is not mentioned much but I thnk is very good s A Day in the life of Eddie Slovick. About a soldier shot for cowardice/desertion.

 

[hertsmackem]

The Wild Bunch

 

[GingerNick]

probably The Longest Day as its covers so much from different perspectives

though I do think Big Red One is under rated

Its tough for me to choose one film so here is a list of war films i like to watch.

Sands of Iwo Jimo. John Wayne is good in it.
The Dirty Dozen
Full Metal Jacket
Guns of Navarone
Platoon
Casualties of war
Hamburger Hill
Das Boot. Probably down by critics as the best war movie ever made?
Behind enemy lines (best film Owen Wilson has appeared in, underrated and better than IMDB rates it.
Hacksaw Ridge

 

[wigwams]

Inglorious Basterds

Behind enemy lines

I watched that the other day, it hasn't aged and certainly is a great film.

Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down

watch these over and over ,never get tired of these two

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Battle of the River Plate
Noel Coward what a guy

Zero Dark Thirty
Black Hawk Down
Jarhead
