2. Black Hawk Down
3. The Longest Day
4. We Were Soldiers
5. Hamburger Hill
6. Mr. Roberts
7. Full Metal Jacket
8. Das Boot
9. The Deer Hunter
10. Jarhead

I would also include Band of Brothers (mini-series), Gettysburg, and Andersonville (TV movies).

To Hell and Back. It's not very good as far as acting or props (It was made in the 50s), but it's Audie Murphy's life story, starring Audie Murphy. I would also say Cross of Iron (The German view of WWII), Black Hawk Down, and Gunner Palace. Maybe even Jarhead. If you watch Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, or Over There (miniseries), they're kind of hokie. Band of Brothers is awesome too (I got to meet them)

~Island Girl~

band of Brothers for sure

but Forrest Gump is a wonderful movie too

Sam

Band of Brothers.

cmortality

I like Trevor H's picks.
I would have to add:
The Patriot
The Sands of Iwo Jima
The Green Berets
The Battle of Britain
The Great Escape (that counts, right?)

ARMY STRONG!

I would have to say 300 is up there but Forest Gump is fitting and more real is Over There the series.
