Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such a long list of movies. I thought there would be a couple of definitive movies that everyone would suggest. Thanks for all the movie suggestions! My movie queue overfloweth.

I like The Boys of Company C but was a little like M*A*S*H meets Battle Star Galactica TV shows.
I love Heartbreak Ridge, though it's not quite a war movie.
And I pretty much pass on anything by Stone.
"awrence!" That was a great, great movie. I saw it in SF, newly restored, in a now defunct, proper theater. Fantastic cinematography.
Run Silent, Run Deep
Zulu! was awesome.
Not a war movie, but a classic- The D.I.
Darby's Rangers was also quite good.
