Great film,for me the old black and white ones are the best.
Prefrably British,they are more realistic once the Yanks get hold of a good story all realism goes out of the window.
The Colditz story is another one I can watch over and over.

kazza has got it right with hamburger hill. that film is just harsh...
id say, for war films:

glory (one of the best, deservedly won an oscar, american civil war, denzel washington at his best. morgan freeman, cary elwes... genius

black hawk down: a great ensemble cast, lots of action but also filmed in that documentary style way with less frames per second giving all the action close up

saving private ryan: the opening sequance and the sharp shooter. great film

the great escape: a xmas classic and one of the coolest films of all time

platoon/full metal jacket: shown through the eyes of the young, a kick in the face in that good film way

hamburger hill: just a harsh film. great acting, lots of bonding and just the harsh reality

the pianist: people complained when daniel day lewis didnt win the best actor oscar but when they saw adrian brody act in the pianist they couldnt argue. a great film, very emotional, very cool

One of best, Sam Peckinpah was legendary and his slow mo action scenes were way ahead of his time
The set piece action scenes in that movie considering it was made in the 70s was superb
If only he was around to day with a Speilburg budget to do that movie
