Alec Guinness is wonderful throughout.

Black Hawk Down
We Were Warriors
The Thin Blue Line
Flags of Our Fathers
Letters From Iwo Jima
Patton
Bridge On The River Kwai
A Bridge Too Far
Zulu
Schindler's List
Downfall (bloody shame - as funny as many of the parodies are - that this film has become so associated with those parodies that many people who didn't see it before the funny stuff possibly won't be able to really appreciate it).

Don't know about the 'best', but I watched a good Estonian War film recently about Estonians who were recruited into both the German and Soviet forces during the war and forced to fight their own countrymen.

I can't be the only one who considers Black Hawk Down to be shite?

Probably far too modern for classic status, but I did enjoy American Sniper. The Pianist, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Zero Dark Thirty all excellent. But Apocalypse Now will always be the Daddy for me.

Full metal jacket - top top film
The longest day
Saving private Ryan

 

[Why Always Ste]

Saving Private Ryan
The Last of the Mohicans
Braveheart
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
