Classic:
Mrs Miniver
Bridge on the River Kwai
Stalag 17
...and many others...
Newer:
The Boys of Company C
Apocalypse Now (steer way clear of the Redux).
The Thin Red Line
Platoon
...and I find it baffling that more people aren't aware of The Boys of Company C. This was the first Vietnam War movie that i can recall. I saw it in the theater back in '78 or so.
