#1 Where Eagles Dare - Clint Eastwood and Sir Richard Burton, you should imagine how good is this movie with those actors. Great twisting plot!!!!
#2 Das Boot - Very good movie about life in a german U-boat (probably is the most underrated movie of WWII of all time)
#3 Master and Commander - Honor, friendship, determination and ZERO romance
#4 Kelly's Heroes - Most memorable part is Kiefer Sutherland's dad as a WWII tank commander - hippie leader
#5 Full Metal Jacket - First part of the movie rocks
#6 We Were Soldiers - Mel's best movie (even with his Braveheart moment at the end)
#7 Dirty Dozen - Criminals win the day on WWII
#8 Hunt for Red October
#9 Tora Tora Tora - I like the fact that it is pretty neutral on presenting the Japanese side
#10 Platoon - Oliver Stone's masterpiece about 'Nam
Honorable mentions: Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, The Longest Day, Enemy at the Gates, 300 Spartans, Wild Geese, Green Berets, Guns from Navarone, Patton, Red Dawn, No Man's Land

This is an underrated one, "Battleground" (1949) - It starred Van Johnson, James Whitmore, John Hodiak, Ricardo Montaban and George Murphy, just name a few. It is a great film that has gotten lost over the years from the very popular war movies.
Some of my other favorites are Patton, The Longest Day, Full Metal Jacket, All Quiet On the Western Front, The Dirty Dozen, The Bridge On the River Kwai and Tora, Tora, Tora

"Paths of Glory" (1957 -World War 1 movie), which was produced by and starred Kirk Douglas. Douglas knew that the movie would never make any money, but he knew he just had to make it because it was anti-war. "Attack" (1956), starring Jack Palance, Eddie Albert, and Lee Marvin. If you watched this movie, you'd know why the military didn't help with the filming! Plots & other details about these two movies can be found at www.imdb.com.

Does Pearl Harbor count? cuz there was a war between the japanese and the americans back then when the japenese bombed pearl harbor. and there was romance going on in the movie. so it should count. :)
