We Were Soliders & Platoon have to get my vote, hands down.

Best War Movie?

For me it is Saving Private Ryan. Changed the way I looked at War as a civvy, and even now as a Soldier. I did a battlefield tour last year to Belgium for the WWI sites and a parade at Menin Gate, in Ypres.

Very...very moving.

yeah sure, you have all mostly stated the obvious, BUT check out
'THE YOUNG LIONS' , MADE NOT TOO LONG AFTER WW11, and apparently banned from showing in UK for a time as content too graphic / realistic for domestic consumption.
black and white, and subtitles too, but well worth a watch.

I am outraged that the word "movie" is used in the title as opposed to film.

i must say Cross Of Iron is really fantastic

probably the most accurate film you'll see on world war 2
