Suggestions for good war movies

[seabolt]

If you're looking for *old,* then the seminal non-propaganda picture has to be "All Quiet on the Western Front."

For WWII, I would hazard that the first film to break the cheerleading mode and dare to show realistic combat was "A Walk in the Sun." You have to get past some truly dreadful opening credits, but about the time that people start dying and doubting---and no one's yet to see an actual German---it starts to dawn that this was a groundbreaking movie.
