The Great Escape is awesome. Whats really cool is looking at some of the websites devoted to that movie. Seeing the way those tunnels were built.

Three Kings has gotta be one of the worst war movies ever. I don't know if you can classify The Manchurian Candidate as a war movie, but the remake with Denzel Washington is a great movie. Also, Glory, the Patriot and Saving Private Ryan are awesome as well.

Too bad we can't piece all of these movies into one.

Start with the boot camp of Full Metal Jacket.
The beach scene of Saving private ryan
The fighting in Hamburger hill.
The ending from Apocolypse now.

Other decent flicks that are a bit dated include
WWI - "The Blue Max"
WWII - "Midway" and "The Big Red One"
